Team Strategies:
Usually in any type of metagame, there is a dominating strategy. Something that is broken, but not enough to be banned. A 2+ Pokémon combination that is used coherently. Well, in Double Battles, that exists, and here I will list some of the most popular and controlling strategies by chronological order:
Explosion + Protect / Resistant / Immune Pokémon:
Explanation On How Explosion Teams Function:
A very successful strategy indeed; it usually uses a Pokémon that can successfully pull an Explosion, and said Pokémon's partner is either resistant or immune to Explosion, or knows the move Protect. This strategy is very dominating in today's Double Battling metagame; and you should always expect its use. In addition, Metagross and Gengar can pull off a "Double Explosion" tactic.
Countering Explosion Teams:
Leading off with a Ghost-type Pokémon will be beneficial if you're scared of Explosion. Additionally, Protect users will destroy the Explosion strategy; while fast sweepers can also be effective at stopping slower Explosion users by outspeeding and KOing them.
Rain Teams:
Explanation On How Rain Teams Function:
With the absence of walls in the Double Battling metagame, Kingdra + Toxicroak can make a pretty formidable combination. Generally, Kingdra will set up Rain. After that, Kingdra will fire Surfs which will hurt everything pretty hard. Additionally, Rain will aid Toxicroak recover 12% Health every turn; while Kingdra's Surfs will further increase the Health recovered by Toxicroak.
Countering Rain Teams:
Carrying Grass-types that can survive Ice Beams is a great way of stopping Rain teams. A fast Dragon-type can easily dispose of Kingdra before it sets up Rain Dance. Once Kingdra is gone, Rain teams will lose a lot of effectiveness. Psychic-types holding a Choice Item and carrying the move Trick can possibly lock a Rain sweeper on a certain move. This would make walls' job much easier.
Trick Room Teams:
Explanation On How Trick Room Teams Function:
Trick Room teams usually start off with 2 slow Pokémon. One of them can set up Trick Room, while the other can stop Pokémon that can stop Trick Room. The rest of the team is composed of slow but powerful sweepers. These kinds of teams are very dangerous; and a Bronzong lead generally shows that your opponent's team is a Trick Room team.
Countering Trick Room Teams:
Taunt can easily shut down any attempt at setting up Trick Room. In addition, fast sweepers with a way of killing the most common slow Pokémon will give Trick Room teams a hard time.
Hail Teams:
Explanation On How Hail Teams Function:
Usually, these teams lead with Abomasnow + Froslass. A STAB Blizzard coming from their high Special Attack will hurt everything badly. Bronzong, a Defensive Pokémon resistant to Ice, will take 50% damage from both Abomasnow's and Froslass' Blizzard. This just shows how destructive Hail teams can be.
Countering Hail Teams:
Fire-types can easily dispose of Hail teams. Prime examples of this are Choice Scarf Arcanine and Choice Scarf Heatran. A Tyranitar slower than Abomasnow will change the weather in its favor. It will then damage the Ice-types present on Hail teams severely with Stone Edge. In addition, Tyranitar's Sandstorm will make Blizzard revert to its low accuracy.
Knowing The Standard Pokémon:
In every metagame, there are Pokémon that perform better than others. Thus, they are more used; and called "Standard". Here, I will outline some Pokémon that are commonly seen in the Double Battling metagame; and I will explain why they are so common.
Bronzong is a pretty prevalent Pokémon due to his ability to easily set up Trick Room. Trick Room can aid a lot of slow Pokémon have a chance at sweeping.
Dusknoir is usually paired with Bronzong. Dusknoir can possibly stop Taunters from Taunting through Imprisoning Taunt. This will help Bronzong set up Trick Room easily, making Dusknoir a necessary Pokémon for Trick Room teams.
Smeargle learns almost every move, making it able to fit into any team. That flabbergasting movepool also contains the move Dark Void, which can potentially sleep two Pokémon at the same time; making you able to easily defeat your opponent's Pokémon.
Due to Gengar's immunity to Explosion, an extremely common move in the Double Battling metagame, Gengar can become a pretty formidable sweeper. Additionally, his immunity to the prevalent Earthquake, among other moves, aids him at becoming an even better sweeper.
With Choice Scarf and Air Slash, Togekiss will outspeed and possibly flinch every single one of its opponents. This makes it a pretty terrifying sweeper.
A STAB Surf which can get further boosted by Rain Dance will make this Pokémon a horrifying beast.
With its ability to recover 12% Health when Rain Dance is present, Toxicroak can make a beastly sweeper that can survive a lot of turns. In addition, a Surf from Kingdra will aid it regain 25% Health, which is just excellent if you're using Life Orb.
A Choice Band Explosion coming from this monster will OHKO anything that isn't resistant / immune to it. Even the Pokémon that resist it will lose a huge chunk of their HP from this mammoth powered Explosion. Also, due to Metagross' huge movepool, any Pokémon immune to Explosion should not dare switch in; as it will probably die from Metagross's Choice Band boosted Ice Punch / Thunder Punch.
Under Rain, Ludicolo will become a beast. With Leftovers, Leech Seed, and Rain Dish, Ludicolo will be regaining over 25% Health every turn. This just adds to its survivability; making it a terrifying monster that won't be taken down by any normal attack. In addition, you might find some Special sweeping Ludicolo; running a set of Hydro Pump / Ice Beam / Grass Knot / Hidden Power Electric.
Casually, Snorlax is run as a Choice Band Self Destructer. Self Destruct ensures at least 1 kill, as it will deal 75% damage to Skarmory; which is a great accomplishment for something like Snorlax. Also, you can find Snorlax on Trick Room teams, using the Belly Drum set. Under Trick Room, a Belly Drum Snorlax will absolutely destroy your opponent's team.
One of the best Trick Room sweepers you will ever find. Once Marowak sets up Swords Dance, its Earthquake will annihilate anything that isn't immune to it. Stone Edge can help against those who are immune to Earthquake; and with the move, Marowak will be able to hit everything for at least neutral damage.
Clamperl is one of the slowest Pokémon on earth, and slowness translates into quickness under Trick Room. In addition, Clamperl's unique Item, DeapSeaTooth, puts its Special Attack stat at 540; meaning it will have no trouble sweeping the opponent's team under Trick Room.
Another powerful Explosion user. A Choice Band boosted Explosion from this beast will OHKO almost everything. Let's not forget that Azelf can also set up Reflect and Light Screen, both of which will greatly help Gengar sweep easier.
With Choice Specs, a STAB 100% accurate Blizzard is something to look out for. Additionally, Abomasnow's ability to set up a permanent Hail storm makes it a great Pokémon to use.
Froslass is usually used as a partner for Abomasnow. With Choice Specs, Froslass' Blizzard will damage a lot of Pokémon; and its high Speed grants it the ability to outspeed a lot of threatening Pokémon.
Weavile can serve as a decent Physical attacker. Being able to take down Gengar makes Weavile a pretty potent sweeper; and its ability to destroy opposing Pokémon with its high Speed and Choice Band is also great.
This is the full Over Used list. There's probably more, like the uncommon Sunny Day teams; which include Pokémon like Typhlosion, Entei, Heatran, Cherrim etc. However, I didn't bother to mention them because of their rarity.
Pokémon Strategies:
Doubles is a metagame where 2 Pokémon are sent out at once; and said 2 Pokémon will have to face 2 other Pokémon. To win a Double Battle, you have to create synergy with your Pokémon; and make sure that the pair of Pokémon you send out have perfect synergy together. Here, I will outline some common 2 Pokémon combinations that have excellent synergy.
Smeargle with No Guard:
How To Effectively Employ This Strategy:
The battle begins with Machamp and Smeargle. Smeargle is holding a Focus Sash, knows the moves Sheer Cold, Dark Void, Role Play, and Sketch (Sketch is just a filler move). Machamp is your standard Choice Band Machamp, and it should know Dynamic Punch; while you pick the other moves based on personal preference.
Smeargle uses Dark Void, hopefully Sleeping 2 Pokémon. After that, Machamp Dynamic Punches the most threatening Pokémon; leaving your opponent with 2 Pokémon asleep, and one Confused. Then, Smeargle Role Plays Machamp's Ability (which should be No Guard; make sure it isn't Guts). Once Smeargle gains the No Guard Ability, his Sheer Cold will never miss. Have fun with a 100% OHKO move.
How Can It Be Countered:
To beat this strategy, both of your Pokémon should be faster than Smeargle. If both of your Pokémon are faster than Smeargle, then you simply attack Smeargle with one of your Pokémon; and kill it with the other (if it's not holding Focus Sash, then this task becomes much easier). Once Smeargle is taken down, Machamp will be your only concern; and it can easily be taken down by a strong Special move.
Trick Room:
How To Effectively Employ This Strategy:
The battle starts with Bronzong and Dusknoir as leads. Bronzong sets up Trick Room, while Dusknoir tries to hurt the opponent's Pokémon. After that, Bronzong uses Explosion, hopefully fainting at least one of the opponent's Pokémon. Then, either Marowak, Rhyperior, or Clamperl are switched in to replace Bronzong; and from there they'll start sweeping the opponent's team until Trick Room ends.
Another variation of Trick Room teams is one leading with a Level 1 Smeargle and Dusknoir. Level 1 Smeargle usually distracts the opponent; and they will not attempt to hit it, so they try to hurt Dusknoir instead. However, said Level 1 Smeargle can Fake Out one threatening Pokémon on the opponent's team, and then Dusknoir will be able to set up Trick Room with much more ease. After Trick Room is set up, Smeargle can Dark Void the opponents, while Dusknoir is switched out for a powerful Trick Room sweeper.
How Can It Be Countered:
Usually, Taunters completely shut down Trick Room teams. Smeargle + Dusknoir is easily beaten by targeting your attacks on Smeargle; or simply having 2 Pokémon out that are capable of defeating Dusknoir.
Super Slaking:
How To Effectively Employ This Strategy:
The battle starts with Slowbro and Slaking. Slowbro knows the move Skill Swap, and Slaking is holding a Choice Band as his Item. Slaking uses a random move on the first turn (the most suitable), and Slowbro switches his Ability with Slaking's through the use of Skill Swap. Once Slaking has Own Tempo, Slowbro will use Swagger to double Slaking's Attack stat. Now Slaking is at 900+ Attack stat, and it can attack consecutively due to it losing Truant.
How Can It Be Countered:
If Slowbro is killed, Slaking will also lose a lot of its power. Faint Slowbro, and Slaking will follow it.
Now, I will outline some uncommon Double Battle strategies.
Explosion teams, Rain teams, Hail teams, Sunny Day teams, Perish Doom, Dual Screen Teams, Baton Pass + Stat up move + Follow Me, Belly Drum + Follow Me, Blast Burn / Hydro Cannon / Frenzy Plant / Rock Hammer / Hyper Beam / Giga Impact / Roar of Time + Roar, Dark Void + Follow Me, Gravity, Imprison, Seed Flare + Special attack move, Teeter Dance, Tail Wind, Claydol + Aerodactyl, Surf (Lapras + Vaporeon), Zapdos + Electivire, Salamence + Gyarados, Typhlosion + Vaporeon, Gyarados + Marowak / Rhyperior, Groudon + Ho-oh, Kyogre + Wailord, Wobbuffet + Darkrai, Ditto + Darkrai, Honchkrow + Tauros, Rayquaza + Shedinja.
The Damage Power:
Multi-target moves have a different Damage formula. The Damage formula for Multi-target moves aids you at figuring out the Speed of your opponent's Pokémon. Here's what I mean: Suppose your opponent sends out a Salamence and a Pinsir, while you send out an Ampibom and a Magnezone. Salamence' Intimidate will hit Ampibom, then it'll hit Magnezone. This will tell our opponent that our Ampibom is faster than Magnezone. No shock here. Now, assuming Pinsir will Close Combat Ampibom, and Gyarados will Earthquake; we decide to buy ourselves time and use Fake Out. In addition, knowing Salamence can destroy Magnezone, we decide to switch it out for Scizor.
Pinsir is hit by Ampibom's Fake Out, while Salamence Earthquakes. Its Earthquake hits Pinsir, then Ampibom, then Scizor. It hit Pinsir first; this tells us Pinsir is faster than Ampibom; meaning Pinsir is Choice Scarfed. With this newly gained information, we can switch out Ampibom in fear of Pinsir Close Combating it before it can attack it with Aerial Ace.
Basically, you should keep your eyes open for every detail of the match. Multi-target moves can aid you and your opponent at determining the opposing Pokémon's Speed.
In Single Battles, you can easily go with the standard 252/252/6 EV spread and be just fine. However, in Double Battles, EV spreads are a little different. Let's say, for example, you have a Skarmory. In Single Battles, you're fine with just putting 252 HP / 252 Def / 6 Spe EVs. In Double Battles, let's say you're up against a Special sweeper and a Physical sweeper. Your Skarmory can easily wall the Physical sweeper, but the Physical sweeper's partner, the Special sweeper, might kill your Skarmory before it can act; and your stuck between switching your Skarmory out, or leaving it to die. Since switching should be avoided in Double Battles, then you're forced to keep Skarmory in to die. This is why running an EV distribution of 252 HP / 178 Def / 80 SpD is recommended on Skarmory; just to avoid situations like these. This was just an example; situations like these aren't rare.
Adding HP EVs to Primeape and Hitmonchan might allow them to survive a powerful Earthquake. However, things as frail as Dugtrio and Sharpedo should be given Items such as Focus Sash; instead of putting useless HP EVs in their HP stat.
Analysis on the Double Battling Metagame:
Double Battles is a metagame in which you send out 2 Pokémon at once; and your opponent does the same. To become a good Double Battle player, you should think of new Pokémon combinations; or old Pokémon combinations no one is prepared for. Synergy is what Double Battles is based on, and you need to make sure your Pokémon have near perfect synergy together. Abusing combinations of Steel-types + Explosion users is a great way to defeat some common Double Battle strategies. In addition, a Pokémon with Imprison and other common moves can be a great way to stop common Double Battle strategies. A Dusknoir with Imprison and other common moves such as Trick Room is a certainly viable threat to Trick Room teams.
Happy Battling!

Walter Benjamin once suggested that there is no single, absolute, or correct interpretation of a picture, since every viewer brings something unique to the process. At the same time, photojournalistic conventions often constrain how a viewer responds emotionally and intellectually to pictures.
In other words, photojournalism as both an art and a science practices a form of aesthetics that is connected to not only pleasing the eye, but also providing the viewer with a context for understanding the world around us in unique ways.
Many photojournalists learn early on that the pictures they make have to conform to the expectations of their audience — the public. These expectations are linked to aesthetical, ethical, and technical conventions, which are passed along from one generation to the next. For example, photojournalistic conventions developed through professional organizations such as the National Press Photographers Association, the American Society of Media Photographers, and the Society of Professional Journalists may be changing.
In recent years, the introduction of digital technologies has challenged long-standing beliefs and codes of conduct associated with ethical photojournalistic norms. At the same time, the proliferation of digital photography on the Internet as well as the economic pressures placed on news organizations through media consolidation and corporate downsizing is testing not only ethical principles, but aesthetical concerns as well.
Today's photojournalist, it is argued, is far more visually sophisticated than his or her predecessor lugging around a 4 x 5 Graflex camera and a pocket full of flash bulbs. The tolerance for staged images that lack visual impact is far less acceptable today than it was even 20 years ago. Pictures, therefore, must do more than simply inform, they must also please the eye.
This issue came up recently, when readers of the Atlanta Journal-Constitution complained about a picture of a veteran whose head was chopped in half by the photographer. The photojournalist, Elissa Eubanks, was obviously trying to turn a run-of-the-mill assignment into something a little different. Unfortunately, some folks didn't see the "art" in cutting the head of Lt. Gen. Russel Honore, the parade's grand marshal, in half.
Even though Journal-Constitution editors were pleased with the picture, some readers expressed outrage — claiming that the image was demeaning and disrespectful. For me, Eubanks' picture raises issues about how the public perceives the role of journalists in covering civic events. Today, photographers appear to be taking more aesthetic chances that move them further away from the realm of journalism and more into the realm of art.
Maybe it's not that big of deal. Photojournalism, as a form of artistic expression, is certainly better than it has ever been and there is some great work being done today.
However, many readers don't want or even expect their news to be artsy. Readers want and expect their news to be delivered without embellishment or panache — they have been trained to think that's what journalism is about. Unfortunately, in today's hyper-media world the pressure is on not only to inform but to also entertain. Therefore, when a news picture is treated as art in order to distinguish it from other media, the public may actually see the effort as a gimmick, or even worse, as a disingenuous attempt to sensationalize the news.
The tools photojournalists use in composing images — selective focus, framing, ethics, use of light, and movement — all conform to a photojournalistic grammar, one that seeks to convey immediacy, intensity and intimacy. This grammar or the system of structural relationships employed in constructing meaning in a picture is one of the things that distinguish photojournalism from other genres.
If we think about grammar as a set of guidelines, then another function assumes that pictures can codify universal social experiences. The stylistic conventions applied to many news pictures today are redefining photojournalism. Today's photojournalists are more likely to infuse their work with artistic sensibilities that were discouraged just a few decades ago. Today, photojournalism, as an art form, has evolved — even if readers don't always appreciate the difference.

Building Tricordersby Daniel H. Steinberg
We're featuring four sessions from the first day of the Where 2.0 conference. Josh Peterson tells you to live your life as if you're on vacation; Mike Liebhold looks at a future in which the invisible annotations on the world around you become visible; Schuler Erle demos Gutenkarte, which reveals geographic information in the books you read; and Lauren Gelman cautions us about the privacy issues in exposing our data.

Distributing the Future June 26, 2006: "Building Tricorders"
1:00 Room Travel
Consider the mindset you have when you travel. You stand in the middle of the street to take the perfect picture of some building that catches your eye. You sample restaurants you might not otherwise try. You ask people you might not ordinarily talk to about their town. Josh Peterson of 43 Places says the secret is to live life like you are on vacation. (3:40)
4:40 Supporting the Tricorder
Mike Liebhold from the Institute for the Future hopes we are building the platform for a tricorder--that Star Trek device that allows you to ask about whatever location you've been beamed to. He wants to build a geospatial web. (10:50)
15:30 Where Are You Reading Now?
Schuyler Erle is working with MetaCarta on APIs and products. He demonstrated the Gutenkarte project, which allows you to place text in the books you are reading in a geographic context. They have a product that parses text for geographic content. For Erle, however, what enables these cool products are APIs on top of open source data. (4:30)
20:00 Privacy
What are you telling others about yourself that you might not want to? Who is keeping that data? What are they willing to do to protect you? In one sense, the privacy issues on the Web are no different than they ever were in our physical world--but as Stanford Law School's Lauren Gelman explains, we need to understand what the rules are in the platforms on which we are building and playing. (5:30)

Paula Allen: No record of Cleveland's 'visit' exists
Updated 12:01 am, Saturday, July 30, 2011
In the visitors center at Mission Concepción is an old photograph of a gentleman in a top hat sitting in a horse-drawn carriage in front of Mission Concepción. Attached to the back of the photo is a Post-it note on which is written "President Grover Cleveland." Do you know whether President Cleveland visited San Antonio and if our missions were part of his itinerary?
Bill Simons
This photo was donated without further documentation by a visitor to Mission Concepción in the San Antonio Missions Historical Park, says longtime Park Ranger Robert Espinosa, the mission's volunteer coordinator. The "Grover Cleveland" label came with the picture, which shows a top-hatted man in profile through the window of a carriage facing south, with Mission Concepción at some distance in the background.
The man's face is not visible, nor does the photo show enough of his figure below the shoulders to tell whether he had Cleveland's stout physique. (Cleveland, who was nearly 6 feet tall, weighed about 250 pounds — about 100 pounds heavier than the average man of his time, according to actuarial studies done around the turn of the last century.)

The photo came framed, with the label affixed to the cardboard backing. There are plans for Susan Snow, archaeologist for the San Antonio Missions Historical Park, to remove the photo from the frame and examine it for further clues to the identity of the man in the photo.
If there's one thing people know about Cleveland — besides his status as the second-heaviest U.S. president, surpassed only by William Howard Taft, who weighed 300 pounds while in office — it's that he is the only president to have served two nonconsecutive terms, from 1885 to 1889 and again from 1893 to 1897. If Cleveland visited Concepción during or between his presidencies, he left a surprisingly light footprint.
The National Park Service, which has administrated the missions in cooperation with the Catholic Archdiocese of San Antonio since 1983, has no information on a Cleveland visit, nor does one show up in a search of local daily newspapers, where his obituaries make no mention of a visit to San Antonio. There is no image of Cleveland in San Antonio in the collection of San Antonio and Texas historical photos in the Institute of Texan Cultures library.
Biographies of Cleveland indicate that he was strongly identified as an Easterner and that he was a reluctant political traveler. Born in New Jersey and reared in New York, of which he served as attorney general and governor, Cleveland didn't venture out of this comfort zone any more often than required. In and out of office, he summered on Cape Cod in Massachusetts, went yachting with wealthy friends along the Atlantic Coast, kept houses in New York City and Washington, D.C., and settled in Princeton, N.J., where he was an occasional lecturer at Princeton University. He ventured as far as Chicago and St. Louis, for Democratic nominating conventions and for a meeting of the Grand Army of the Republic, a politically important organization of Union veterans of the Civil War, but avoided long, cross-country trips of the kind Theodore Roosevelt would later make as president, once including San Antonio on his route.
As a candidate for his first term as president, Cleveland gave only two campaign speeches, one at Bridgeport, Conn., the other at Newark, N.J. He was "spending long days in Albany as governor (of New York) and had a strong distaste for the preparation and delivery of campaign speeches," says Richard E. Welch Jr. in "The Presidencies of Grover Cleveland." A seasoned candidate on the state level, Cleveland "realized that he was a poor stump speaker ... and he had no talent for extemporaneous address," refusing to debate his opponent, James G. Blaine.
Even if Cleveland had had time to visit Texas, he probably didn't have the inclination or practical reason to do so. In that post-Reconstruction era, Texas was part of the Solid South that supported Democrats in the general election, though Texan delegates to the presidential nominating conventions didn't support Cleveland. In 1888, during his first term as president, Cleveland vetoed a bill that would help drought-stricken Texas farmers, on the grounds that it would set a dangerous precedent for the federal government to offer financial help to private business. A Democrat known as a fiscal conservative, Cleveland was "hated in the South and West" for his monetary policy thought to favor the creditor East over the agrarian regions, says Alyn Brodsky in "Grover Cleveland: A Study in Character."
That said, if Cleveland did visit San Antonio, Concepción would have been a likely stop on a sightseeing tour. Of the 18th-century Spanish colonial missions in San Antonio, Mission Concepción was close to downtown and "in relatively good condition by the turn of the century," having been repaired in 1861 and 1887, says Lewis F. Fisher in "Saving San Antonio: The Precarious Preservation of a Heritage." The church at Concepción was known as the First Mission, "just two and one quarter miles from the center of the city," says William Corner in "San Antonio de Bexar: A Guide and History," and was notable for the unusual decoration of its front: "rapidly disappearing frescoing ... with red and blue quatrefoil crosses of different pattern and with large yellow and orange squares to simulate great dressed stones."
The mission in the background of the photo tagged as Cleveland is clearly Concepción, says ranger Espinosa, who notes the absence of other people in the photo. As a presidential candidate, president or even former president, he asks, "Wouldn't (Cleveland) have had someone with him?" Because the photo depicts the mission at a time before the automobile, it's of historical interest and importance, Espinosa says. It's still on display and will remain part of the mission's collection even if the Cleveland association can't be authenticated.

Disrupting My Ride
Posted by Sanjay Dalwani (View Profile | View All Posts) at 10:39 AM
John Stossel ~ Taxi Innovation [Source: RonPaulCC2012 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kCIfJhwDaUw]
Getting there is half the fun, right? Maybe. If you work in a congested city in the Americas, Europe, or Asia, then you probably shudder at the thought of having to hail a taxi in the middle of the day in order to get across town for an important meeting. Think about it: There's nothing efficient about a taxi ride. In New York City, for example, the daytime shift ends at 4:00 pm, just as the evening rush hour is beginning. So lots of taxis go off-line just as tens of thousands of commuters need them. Who came up with that timing?
Then there's the whole notion of a cabbie driving around town in search of a fare. Gasoline prices being what they are, it doesn't pay for drivers to spend more than a fraction of their time without someone in the back seat. Add to this business model the fact that most cities require you (or your company) to buy a license to chauffeur people around, and your margins become razor-thin indeed.This age-old business model seems to be at the end of its lifespan, however. You can't say it didn't have its day in the sun: even the ancient Romans had a taxi system not unlike what our cities have today.
Then there's the stereotype of the cab driver in many cities: a surly, cigar-chomping man with a lead foot who demands cash despite the presence of a credit card swipe machine in the backseat. But here's what brings all of these elements together: More than half of us carry around smart phones that are GPS-enabled. That means someone who wants a ride can theoretically connect with someone who is offering one. The driver who is merely the closest doesn't necessarily win all the time. It might be the driver who has the nicest car or the best driving record or charges the lowest rate for where you want to go.
Mobile apps allow for would-be passengers to get drivers to compete for their business. But something else is going on here. Before the onset of the digital age, would you have been comfortable plugging your personal information into a database to have complete strangers (in this case, taxi drivers) look it over? I think that one of the profound transformations of business models everywhere, including transportation, is that people are comfortable doing business with strangers. Think of how you can rent out your apartment to anyone on Airbnb. The new taxi services enabled by mobile apps are based on a similar premise - you can rate your driver and see past reviews of his performance, cleanliness of the car, etc.
One of the new companies to use a mobile summoning platform is Uber, which will pick you up in a luxury sedan and, should you be riding with a colleague, allow you to split the fare on your credit cards. Of course, when a new technology or innovation starts to unsettle an established model for doing things, it usually meets with some measure of resistance. In certain cities, the established taxi and livery companies have filed petitions and injunctions against the new mobile app-based driver services. They claim such services are unfairly cutting into their business. In response, Uber used its cars in some cities to deliver ice cream while its owners were challenging the bans. Doing so raised awareness and built the brand while they worked things out in court.
Innovators should expect no less. Whenever they come up with a better, more efficient way of doing things, it's the practitioner of the status quo who digs in his heels rather than raising the level of his game. Think of the biggest criticism of Henry Ford more than a century ago: The preponderance of motorcars would require having refueling stations in every city. Now that could never happen!

Volume of Partially Full Cylinder on its Side
Date: 12/31/2001 at 10:03:13 From: Charlie Subject: Volume of Partially Full Cylinder on its Side I am in charge of ordering fuel for our company, and the way the owner calculates the volume is via a grossly simplified percent full guesstimation. I remember in a college calculus class having to calculate the volume of a partially full cylinder (the cylinder being on it's side) but I can't remember the equation nor can I find it. Please help.
Date: 12/31/2001 at 11:22:02 From: Doctor Jaffee Subject: Re: Volume of Partially Full Cylinder on its Side Hi Charlie, Suppose the base of your cylinder is a circle whose radius is r, and the height of the fuel in the circle is y. Let the height of the cylinder be h. Then the volume of fuel can be determined by the formula (r - y) V = h[r^2) (arccos -----)( - (r - y)*sqrt(2ry - y^2)] r This formula is based on the premise that you have your calculator or computer software set in the 'radian' mode and not the 'degree' mode. I hope the formula is helpful to you. - Doctor Jaffee, The Math Forum http://mathforum.org/dr.math/

We are celebrating our children with the first Child Friendly Leeds awards. Laura Bowyer reports.
they have spent the last four months searching for Leeds's very own children's champions.
The team of ten youngsters are on a mission to celebrate the city's army of unsung heroes at the first ever Child Friendly Leeds Awards.
The group, who are known as Y-Productions, are made up of Child Friendly Leeds young advisors and members of City Varieties Youth Theatre.
They have been searching for inspirational youngsters, fantastic foster carers and places in Leeds that champion children.
They have meticulously planned the running of the glittering awards ceremony - which is being backed by the Yorkshire Evening Post.
And today we can reveal the shortlist of young people and child friendly businesses who have been nominated for their campaigning efforts.
Fatima Maumonait, 11, decided to get involved with planning the awards after she heard about it through her family.
She said: "My cousin told me it would be really good fun to get involved with something exciting like this."
Beth McConnell, 17, added: "I got involved after attending a Child Friendly Leeds event at the Museum last summer.
"I wanted to do something productive with my free time.
"For me, this is an opportunity to prove people wrong and to show everyone that young people can actually make a difference if they want to.
"I want to prove to my mum that I can do something really productive and to prove her wrong."
Jacob Bennett, 16, and Jamie-Leigh Fish, 17, said: "We hope that the awards will give recognition to all the people and places in Leeds that help make it child friendly.
"We are challenging stereotypes of young people in society.
"We love being given opportunities such as this to prove our critics wrong."
Steven Vaughan, 19, added: "We think Leeds is a child friendly city because there are lots of things for children and young people to do - such as Breeze events and the City Varieties Youth Theatre.
"However, as kids we still wish there were more places to relax with our friends and make new ones."
Among the inspirational youngsters to be nominated for an award is 17-year-old Francis Edwards from Roundhay.
Francis weighed just 890 grammes when he was born three months premature.
The youngster, who has cerebral palsy, spent the first five months of his life in hospital.
When he was younger his mum Jane Howarth took him to the Donkey Sanctuary in Leeds to help strengthen his muscles.
But the teenager, who relies on a wheelchair, decided to give something back to the sanctuary that transformed his life and now he volunteers there to help others.
Francis is also campaigning to make sure that Leeds is wheelchair friendly.
His proud mum Jane said: "I think he wanted to volunteer as a way of paying back for all the help people had given him when he was little.
"He says that this is just his way of saying thank you.
"He is a role model and it shows that even though you have a disability and use a wheelchair you can still achieve things.
"I'm just so proud of him."
Also nominated for an award is disability access campaigner Nathan Popple.
Nathan, 16, from Adel, developed cerebral palsy and severe disabilities following his traumatic birth.
The teenager, who uses a special computer to communicate, has made it his mission to make Leeds a wheelchair friendly city.
He set up a website called Accessible Leeds to name and shame venues in the city that are not wheelchair friendly.
He told the YEP he was delighted to be shortlisted for an award.
The teenager said: "When I found out I had been nominated I felt very happy and excited.
"I am glad that people like the work I have been doing.
"Accessible Leeds is going well and I have started to also do podcasts.
"At the minute I am doing an accessibility campaign with Stuart Andrew MP.
"We did a survey about how easy or hard it is for disabled people to access things and then Stuart and I will look at some questions for him to ask in Parliament.
"I's all very exciting and I hope that all of my work will help people."
Also in the running for a prize is the team from First Floor Leeds at West Yorkshire Playhouse.
They have been shortlisted in the Best Place for Children and Young People category.
First Floor Leeds provides a venue for youngsters of all ages and abilities to help channel their creative sides.
The team encourage children to develop new skills such as drama, art and music in a bid to boost their confidence.
The project also aims to show youngsters what work opportunities and experiences are available to them in the theatre.
Director of arts development Sam Perkins said: "We're thrilled to be nominated.
"It means so much that they came directly from young people and their parents and carers.
"To discover that we have been shortlisted in the final five within the Best Place for Young People in Leeds category is great testament to all the hard work that goes into building a friendly and vibrant space for young people."
The awards will be held at the City Varieties on Thursday, January 30.

Jury in Anthony Kelly trial is told trees may have blocked CCTV signal
THE jury in the trial of Southill man Anthony Kelly has been told that a number of overgrown trees may have been blocking the signal from a CCTV camera, which is located near where the shooting happened.
Mr Kelly, 51, of 121 O'Malley Park has pleaded not guilty to possession of a semi-automatic glock pistol with intent to endanger life at his home on October 28, 2009.
It is prosecution case that Kelly shot 29-year-old Michael Lynch in the driveway of his home following an altercation outside the house shortly after 7am.
The jury in the trial has been shown CCTV footage from a number of different cameras in Southill but the seven men and five women have been told that no images were recorded from a camera which is located opposite Kelly's home .
Last week, the jury was told the CCTV camera was broken but this Wednesday Brendan Nix SC, representing Anthony Kelly, said this was not the case.
He said trees, which had grown during the spring and summer, had blocked the radio signal being sent from the camera to the offices of the Limerick Regeneration Agencies in Roxboro.
Earlier the jury heard that Anthony Kelly repeatedly told gardai he would be exonerated by CCTV footage of the incident.
During several interviews following his arrest he told gardai to view the footage and said he would be "shocked" if it was not working.
*A full version of this story was published in the print edition of Limerick Leader, dated October 22, 2011

Denver Broncos 2012 Training Camp Day 2 Practice Report
Nearly 3,000 Broncos fans gathered at Broncos Headquarters at Dove Valley for the second day of the team's 2012 training camp… and nearly 3,000 fans were sent home 15 minutes later as the rain started drizzling and lightning threatened ominously nearby. The Broncos moved the practice into the South Suburban Sports Dome down the street (around 40-50 fans stood outside to cheer them on outdoors, but fans were not permitted inside).
"It was a little different," Demaryius Thomas said. "Not enough room, but we got a lot of work done."
Fortunately, so did we. Media were still allowed in the bubble, and our practice report from the session follows.
Manning looked excellent in the bubble. He completed roughly 80% of his passes across all seven-on-seven or 11-on-11 drills, but the real highlight was Manning's pass to Eric Decker near the end of practice. Decker ran a deep post that beat double coverage (Tracy Porter and Quinton Carter) and caught Manning's throw in the end zone in stride.
Brandon Stokley was back at practice. Jamie Blatnick (ankle) and Justin Bannan (calf) did not participate. Quinton Carter injured his right hamstring and was seen pacing along the sideline late in practice.
Lightning was no longer a scare in the indoor practice bubble dome, but the condition of the turf was, with players slipping often during warmups and team drills. Champ Bailey opted not to participate in seven-on-seven and full-team drills altogether (Drayton Florence filled in), and Carter's injury occurred after he slipped on that long pass from Manning to Decker. Head Coach John Fox said they're not in an immediate hurry to change indoor facilities, but they are aware it isn't the best situation.
"We make do with what we got," Fox said. "I try to stay off this stuff as much as possible, but at some times, like today, we needed the work, and this was the safe place to get it done."
The Broncos brought Mike Adams to at least compete for a starting safety position, but so far the veteran has been playing with the second team, with Quinton Carter and Rahim Moore seeing first team duties. Adams has made the most of this semi-demotion; at one point he sniffed out a running play, penetrating the line of scrimmage for what would have been a tackle for loss. Even more interesting than his current position on the defensive depth chart, though, is his possible position on the special teams one. Adams was among five players to take snaps as a kick returner Friday, and he saw several of them (all five did). Adams assumed a defensive leadership role within that young defensive core during the offseason, but the first few practices of camp suggest his true role in 2012 could be vastly different.
For awhile, this looked to be The Practice In Which Peyton Manning Threads the Needle for Ridiculous Completions, To the Eternal Frustration of His Defensive Teammates. Then Tracy Porter stepped up. First Manning hit Eric Decker on an impressive out just out of the reach of Rahim Moore. The next play, Manning threw through Porter's hands and into the tumbling form of Brandon Stokley for a completion. It looked like Manning was going to toy with the Broncos' defense… then Porter adjusted. He picked off Manning two plays later (intended for Andre Caldwell) and ran down the sideline for what would have been a defensive touchdown. Later Porter deflected a Manning pass high into the air, and Wesley Woodyard almost came down with it. Porter may not be Champ Bailey, but he seems to get Peyton Manning. Let's just be thankful he's with the Broncos and not on another team.
Yesterday a large focus of the passing game seemed to be on Willis McGahee and other running backs. Today, tight ends got more work, with Jacob Tamme and Virgil Green hauling in some nice passes. The first team offense even opened up seven-on-seven drills with a three tight end set: Tamme, Green, and Joel Dreessen, all running routes.
Hillman stood out a couple of times Friday. The rookie running back made a nice cut in team drills that turned what would have been a two-yard loss into a five-yard gain, and possibly more. He also saw a lot of work as a kick returner: all in all, he, Adams, Matthew Willis, Andre Caldwell, and Omar Bolden saw snaps at kick returner, with Hillman and Willis seeing the most work. Hillman is relegated deep down the RB depth chart, so he doesn't have a lot of snaps to evaluate, but I saw a few plays that raised my eyebrows.
- Hillman isn't the only running back who busted a decent move Friday. Jeremiah Johnson got into the secondary then found another gear, beating Mike Adams in an impressive footrace.
- Either credit the defense or blame the offense, but Caleb Hanie had one heck of a bad play late in team work. A bad snap was followed by a jailbreak blitz that completely broke through the offensive line for what would have been a multi-man sack. Of course, players don't actually hit their QB's in practice, so Hanie threw anyway… right into the hands of David Bruton, who should have had the interception.
- Manny Ramirez continued to work in Chris Kuper's stead when actual blocking came into play.
- Rookie C/G Philip Blake saw snaps at 2nd-team Center, with C.J. Davis seeing time at guard with the two's.
PHOTO GALLERY: Because of the tight nature of the indoor practice, Andrew Mason offered to share his photos from today's session. A few Twitter-worthy photos taken from my iPhone are available at Twitter.com/BroncoTalk, but check MaxBroncos' Facebook page for higher quality photos later tonight. We'll update this post with better photos at that time too.
NEXT PRACTICE: Tomorrow, Saturday, at 8:50 a.m. It's very likely this practice will break the record set Thursday morning, folks; get there by 7:30 if you hope to get a parking spot at the Broncos facilities. Gates open at 7:50.

Key resources
National Heart Foundation of Australia
National Heart Foundation of Australia
Resource package
Note: This resource has been superseded. For the latest Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander resources from the Heart Foundation, click here.
This kit for health professionals was made up of five Indigenous-specific resources containing information about risk factors and warning signs of cardiovascular disease (CVD):
Although all items were about the same topic, they contained different levels of information, so the health professional could choose the resource to suit their audience. The information booklet was designed to provide background information to the health worker, and the other resources were designed to show to members of the general public while providing detailed explanations.
Australian Indigenous HealthInfoNet abstract
The flipcharts could be used in a small group setting or with individuals to talk in depth about CVD, the risk factors and warning signs. The posters could be displayed at community events, in an office, a health centre or a community centre. They could be used to generate discussions about the warning signs of a heart attack or to advertise a talk.
The information booklet was more for use by a health worker to provide themselves with more background information on CVD, the risk factors and warning signs.

Free and open to the public and presented by Lynsey White Dasher, urban wildlife specialist with Humane Society U.S.

Hi and welcome to our course on Single Light Photography.
With this course, we will show you how you don't need a ton of lighting gear to produce amazing results – sometimes one inexpensive but good quality artificial light source is all you need.
At the end of this course, you will learn that by using only one single speedlight and a versatile lighting modifier you can achieve great results.
You will get a practical understanding on how to work with the Westcott Apollo Medium Softbox in a variety of photography styles and subjects.
We will show you:
- how to augment natural light;
- how to overcome ambient/natural light;
- how to blend both modified and natural light together
- how to use it in a studio.
As a bonus, we'll show you how we select our top images from the shoots: we'll take you through the selection process to show you what we look for in an image before the final edit.
After the selection process, we'll take you through our post-processing workflow, using a combination of Adobe Lightroom and Photoshop.
Join us and the learn the art of Single Light Photography.
1. Equipment
In this chapter we will talk about the equipment that we will be using throughout this course.
We'll talk about the features we're looking for in the gear we're using, and show you how to put everything together.
This chapter is a must see if you have never used the Apollo Medium Softbox before or if it is your first time using speedlights.
2. Tech stuff
In this chapter we will introduce some of the fundamental technical aspects of exposure as it relates to strobes and speedlights: we will focus on the concepts that are needed to understand how speedlights work, what their limitations are, and how to control their interaction with ambient light.
If you're new to speedlights, this chapter is fundamental for you to understand some of the exposure decisions we will be making throughout the course. If you already have some working knowledge of how to use them, we still recommend viewing this chapter for a quick brush-up on your skills.
3. Simple Studio Headshot
In this chapter we will create some simple headshots with a model in the studio, using only our softbox, an eggcrate grid, and a couple of reflectors.
We'll show you the versatility of this light in the studio by creating a range of different looks, from a classical beauty setup to really dramatic, controlled light.
4. Outdoor Portrait
In this chapter we will shoot a model on location, demonstrating three different looks using the one softbox:
- high key portrait, using the softbox as fill light;
- crosslighting against the direct sun;
- overpowering the ambient for dramatic lighting.
5. Food in the Studio
In this chapter we are going to shoot food – cake! – in the studio, using the Apollo softbox in different lighting setups to get a different look and feel to the images to match the subject.
We'll also show you how in a small set situation, sometimes little changes of position and direction of the light source are enough to make a difference in your final image.
6. Outdoors PicNic
In this chapter we will create a photograph of a picnic board, outdoors, using the Apollo and the ambient light to create a few different looks:
We will begin by using the Apollo as fill light to direct sunlight; once the sun stops hitting the set directly, we will replace it with the softbox as a key light, using different levels of ambient for fill light.
7. Model on Location
In this chapter we will be once again shooting a model on location using the Apollo. This time we'll be on a rooftop, and we'll start by using the Apollo to compete against the key light provided by direct sun, changing roles as the day progresses, balancing against the ambient, matching it, and finally using it as a gridded key light for some special effects.
