Robert M. Friedlander, MD, MA
Chair, Walter E. Dandy ProfessorHead of Cerebrovascular Neurosurgery
On June 1, 2010, Robert Friedlander, MD, MA, became the fourth chair in the department's history. Prior to joining the department, Dr. Friedlander was professor of neurosurgery at Harvard Medical School and vice-chairman of neurosurgery and associate director of cerebrovascular surgery at Brigham and Women's Hospital in Boston.
As a sign of his prominence as a clinician and scientist, Dr. Friedlander is one of a very select group of authors to have been invited by the New England Journal of Medicine to write both a basic science review (mechanisms of neuronal cell death), as well as a clinical review (management of AVMs). Clinically, Dr. Friedlander focuses on the operative management of complex cerebrovascular disorders and brain tumors.
Dr. Friedlander's major research interests lie in the study of the mechanistic pathways of the caspase apoptosis gene family. As co-director of Brigham and Women's Neuroscience Research Center, his work includes the evaluation of treatment strategies for neurodegenerative diseases (Huntington's and ALS), stroke, brain trauma, and spinal cord injury through the modulation of the caspase-family apoptotic pathways.
Dr. Friedlander's research has received significant media attention including major work published in Nature, Science, and Nature Medicine.
His work has also been recognized through many academic awards, including the Neurosurgery Resident Award from the Congress of Neurological Surgeons, the Bayer Cerebrovascular Award from the Joint Section of Cerebrovascular Surgery, the International Charcot Prize for Motor Neuron Diseases, and the Award from the Academy of Neurological Surgeons. In 2006, he was elected as a member of the prestigious American Society for Clinical Investigation. Dr. Friedlander is only one of two neurosurgeons elected as a member of the American Association of Physicians.
Specialized Areas of Interest
Aneurysms, vascular malformations, brain tumors, carotid disease, cerebrovascular disease, Chiari malformation, spinal cord tumors. Research focuses on mechanisms of apoptosis, Huntington's disease, ALS, and stroke.

Research Activities
Dr. Friedlander is intricately involved in basic and translational neuroscience research initiatives. He divides his time between clinical work in cerebrovascular neurosurgery, basic scientific pursuit in the study of mechanisms of neuronal cell death, and in a leadership role in several national neurosurgical organizations.
Dr. Friedlander demonstrated that the commonly used antibiotic minocycline is protective in animal models of HD, ALS, brain trauma, and spinal cord injury. Based on the data, as well as confirmatory data from other laboratories, clinical trials of minocycline in humans have either been performed or are currently underway for HD, ALS, stroke, and spinal cord injury.

No sound when laptop connected via HDMI
Still arsing around in my quest to watch Swedish TV! I have a 42PDL7906H TV. I downloaded Wifi Media Connect but it kept dropping the connection every few minutes. I then connected my laptop via HDMI and everything was perfect except there was no sound coming from the TV, it was coming from the laptop instead! I had to plug in a pair of speakers in order to hear it properly. How can I get the sound to come from the TV instead? Do I have to plug in audio cables into the back of the TV and connect to the laptop? Novice at all this!

Voter Cards
What is a voter card?
After you register to vote, most states send out a "voter card" to let you know your registration has gone through. The voter card helps you to confirm you're registered to vote and that your information is correct. Most also contain information about where you will go to vote on Election Day.
What does a voter card look like?
Voter cards vary from state to state but generally they're small cards similar to a postcard.
How long does it take to get my voter card in the mail?
It usually takes 6-8 weeks for the state to send out your voter card. If 8 weeks have passed and you haven't received your card, you probably are not registered and should call your state to make sure your registration went through properly. If you register to vote with fewer than 8 weeks to the election, you may not receive your card in time. Call your state to confirm your registration.
I don't know if I ever received a voter card (or I lost mine). What should I do?
Call your state to make sure you correctly filled out your voter registration form and they have you listed as a registered voter. If you're registering right before the voter registration deadline, chances are you won't receive the card in time for the election. You do not need this card to vote but you do need to know if you're registered and where your voting location is.
Call your state
election authority with any questions.
I lost my voter card. How can I get another one?
You should be able to call your state and request a new voter card. Not all states send out voter cards.
Do I need my voter card in order to vote?
No. Voter cards let you know that you have successfully registered to vote. They contain information for where you will vote on Election Day and a phone number for your state if you have any questions. Voter Cards are NOT required in order to vote. Check out our
Election Center
for additional information about what you must bring with you to the polls on Election Day.
What if my info on the card is wrong?
The card should have information on how to change any incorrect information (such as the wrong apartment number or that your name is misspelled). If for some reason there are no instructions,
call your state
or local election administrator.
Why should I hold onto my voter card?
A voter card lets you verify that your voter registration information is correct, such as your name, address, and birth date. It also has the address for your polling place, which is where you will vote on Election Day.
Does a voter card serve as a form of identification for voting?
Most states do not accept a voter card as a form of ID. If you are a first time voter who mailed in your registration form, you should check out our
Election Center
to find out what identification you will need at the polls.
Voting Early / Absentee
I won't be around on Election Day. How can I get an absentee ballot?
Check out our page on
absentee voting
. You must be registered to vote in order to request an absentee ballot. The requirements for requesting an absentee ballot vary from state to state.
Click here
to find the link to your state's absentee information.
How do I obtain an absentee ballot?
In order to vote by absentee ballot, you must submit an absentee ballot request form through your state. You can grab yours at our
Election Center
Can you change your vote if you voted early?
Some states actually allow you do do this. Please check with your
local elections office
to determine the rules in your state.
Where do I vote early?
Check out the Rock the Vote
election center
for information on where you can vote early.
Updating My Information with Rock the Vote
I changed my legal name. How do I change my name on my voter registration?
On every voter registration form there is a place to fill in your previous registration information. You will fill out the form as if it were your first time doing so, and where it asks you to put in your old information, you would put in your previous name, (for example, your maiden name).
How do I update my email address with Rock the Vote?
Rock the Vote can either update your email address manually or you can sign up with us again using your new address at: http://www.rockthevote.com/join
How do I unsubscribe from emails and text messages from Rock the Vote?
After filling out an online voter registration form, you will receive – at most –three automated reminders to print, sign, and mail in your form. After that, if you have not signed up to receive Rock the Vote emails, you will not receive future emails from the organization. If you check the box to sign up for emails and no longer want to receive them, we can remove you form the list manually or you can click unsubscribe at the bottom of the next email we send. To unsubscribe from our text messages, text STOP to RTVOTE.
Voting on Election Day
Where do I vote on Election Day?
to find out where you vote on Election Day. Polling places are usually within walking distance of your home (unless you are in a very rural area). A polling place can be in a business, a person's house, a school, or a community center, to name a few establishments.
Do I need to show identification to vote?
Most states require some form of identification either when you register and/or when you vote. The rules vary state by state. Check out your state rules at our
Election Center
What if I go to the polls and they tell me I am not registered to vote?
First, make sure you are at the right polling place. If you are at the wrong polling place they will not have your name on list of voters. If you are at the correct location and are not on the list, you can still cast a ballot. Ask the poll worker for a provisional ballot. After the polls close on Election Day the state will check on the status of your voter registration and if there was a mistake made. The state must notify you as to whether your ballot was counted. If you have a problem voting and think your rights have been denied, call (866) OUR- VOTE. There will be lawyers there to help.
Am I required to vote for everything on the ballot?
No! You don't have to answer everything. If you're not sure what is on the ballot,
here are some great resources
you can use.
On Election Day, if I think my rights have been violated, what should I do?
Call (866) OUR-VOTE if you feel your rights have been violated. There will be lawyers on hand to answer Election Day questions and concerns about voting procedures.
Where can I learn who's running for office, research issues, and check to see my state's voting laws?

With the assistance of locals, Google has updated its Maps service to fill in many of the blanks of North Korea's most remote locations, providing a more detailed picture of the country.
"Creating maps is a crucial first step towards helping people access more information about parts of the world that are unfamiliar to them," wrote Jayanth Mysore, senior product manager at Google Map Maker Mysore, on Google Lat Long. "While many people around the globe are fascinated with North Korea, these maps are especially important for the citizens of South Korea who have ancestral connections or still have family living there."
You can see the difference in the before and after pictures here:
One thing North Korean definitely won't be happy about is the appearance of gulags – or forced prison camps – on Google's new maps. As Buzzfeed pointed out, the political prison labor camp Kwan-li-so (also known as "Camp 22") is labeled as a gulag and here's what you'll see if you search for "concentration camp, north korea]:
The presence of the gulags has inspired some very dark humor in the form of reviews on a Google+ Local page that rate the quality of the concentration camp as if it were a hotel. There are 64 reviews as of this writing – though some are people chastising those who are making the spoof reviews.
Google Executive Chairman Eric Schmidt recently visited North Korea and implored the country to soften its stance on limited Internet access.
"As the world becomes increasingly connected, their decision to be virtually isolated is very much going to affect their physical world, their economic growth and so forth, and it will make it harder for them to catch up economically. We made that alternative very clear," he said, according to the Guardian. "Once the Internet starts, citizens in a country can certainly build on top of it, but the government has to do something. They have to make it possible for people to use the internet, which the government in North Korea has not yet done. It's their choice now, and in my view it's time now for them to start or they will remain behind."

Accurately authenticate real users to quickly detect bot/aggregator access.
Certain online banking login attempts are performed automatically by scripts. Fraudsters use botnets (a network of infected computers) to automatically login to accounts with stolen credentials in order to check their validity. Aggregators (such as Yodlee, MoneyCenter, Mint, and BillGaurd) use a similar mechanism to login and scrub account information (later presented through their apps).
Identify and extinguish both types of activities, distinguishing between them, by analyzing login behavior to correctly identify benign access (aggregators) or criminal access (bots). Unlike other biometric solutions, BioCatch's approach is totally invisible and works continuously to analyze over 500 unique parameters to detect anomalies in a session.
BioCatch's Benefits
Accurate. More than 500 parameters establishing a user profile are coupled with Invisible Challenges™ to elicit subconscious user responses. Plus, the platform detects robotic activity, RATs, malware and other non-human intrusions for an extremely accurate result.
Fewer False Alarms. Differentiating aggregator access from bot attacks, BioCatch can stop fraudulent access with stolen credentials while prompting fewer false alerts.
Proactive. Using machine learning to model behaviors, BioCatch can detect a genuine user from a fake one in real-time. Quickly identifying anomalies and characteristics indicative of fraud, BioCatch sends actionable alerts.
Frictionless. BioCatch offers complete transparency while remaining nonintrusive to the end user. Protect online assets and enhance the customer experience simultaneously.

"When men come to like a sea-life, they are not fit to live on land." - Samuel Johnson
There is something special about the sailing life. I think many people won't ever understand it themselves. Those others would prefer the "safety" of a steady job, reliable car, big house filled with stuff, and doing what's expected of them from the rest of society. And yet, wonder why those on boats are happier with less stuff. Those living on boats may have what others consider less, but much more full on life and adventure. Besides, what makes a better story? A guy doing something stupid during rush hour traffic or someone who sails away from shore and encounters new lands and people and the process to get to that point?
You two are making a better story for yourselves than others can dream of.
"A sailor's joys are as simple as a child's." — Bernard MoitessierYu,
This is a beautiful piece. You capture some of the essence of why we moved onto a boat, to live more simply and more fully.

About Me
I come from a family of artisans all of whom have patience and talent. I have neither. But I am enthusiastic and competent if not accomplished. My biggest fault is not knowing when it is time to stop tinkering and just let something be.
My first experience with clay was in My grandmother's studio where she primarily made things with molds and slip. Her studio was flooded in 1975 and she never took ceramics up again, but we always talked about getting started in a new studio. She is now 95 and can't do any of that anymore. But I decided it was time to start and pass along some of what I learned to my kids. I immediatly found out I don't know anything. So I will lurk here and try to learn and try to share, and most of all I will try to re-live some of those wonderful days sitting next to my Grandmother, watching with wonder as things of amazing shape came out of those white plaster blocks she had stacked on the shelves.

April 28, 2009Specifically this Inconstant Sol post, atwhere you may download a live set from 1982 of an Arthur Blythe band with Bob Stewart on Tuba and Kelvyn Bell on guitar.
I bloggeth not…
April 16, 2009…but over here is one of my favorite records, Desert Equations: Azax Atra by Sussan Deyhim (myspace) and Richard Horowitz.
Sextant by Herbie Hancock.
December 7, 2008Sextant by Herbie Hancock is a great record! I only bring this up because it's available on Amazon as an MP3 download for $2.97. Here's the album's page at All Music.
Recent acquisitions from Tzadik.
November 7, 2008It's been all about the Braxton Arista box since I got it, but I've squeezed in a couple of other things too.
Zaebos by Medeski Martin & Wood. This is disappointing. Damn hippies. The first clunker I've heard in the Masada Book II series. Buy discs from Tzadik, MP3's from Amazon.
The True Story Concerning Martin Behaim by Zakarya. Third record of theirs I've bought since this post, 413a is still the strongest but it's all great. Buy discs from Tzadik, MP3's from Amazon.
Sojourn by Marty Ehrlich's Dark Woods Ensemble. Great playing, great material, very mellow vibe. Buy discs from Tzadik, MP3's from Amazon.
The first Orthotonics record…
September 25, 2008Could be the best two bucks you ever spend…
September 2, 2008As I type this, Amazon is selling Mothership Connection as an MP3 album for two bucks.

Sleeps | 4 |
Bedrooms | 2 |
Bathrooms | 1 |
Space | 75 m² |
Property type | cottage |
Minimum Stay | 5 nights |
This little country home is set in the Chira basin and offers a tranquil and private delightful natural environment. Inside, the house accommodates 4 persons in two bedrooms, kitchen and bathroom with all the basic needs for a comfy stay with also Satellite TV. Outside the house, the spacious terrace overlooks the beautiful valley and it is perfect to enjoy outdoor meals in the covered barbecue area. Next to it, the heated pool invites swimming all year round.
Perfect for those seeking a peaceful rural retreat and families with kids, it is also a dream for mountain and hiking lovers as there are many breathtaking walks in the surrounding countryside.
Heated Swimming Pool:: The 7m x 3.5m swimming pool (1.25 and 1.75m deep) is situated on a terrace with magnificent views across the valley. The south facing orientation ensures the area takes advantage of the sun throughout the day and its elevated position often brings a cooling breeze for a welcome relief to the heat of the summer. The whole area has been fenced to provide security for children but in such a way that this does not affect the views from the swimming pool.
Activity holidays:: The house is in a location which is great for outdoor sports and adventure activities such as hiking, bycicle tourism and mountain biking with many routes within walking distance and a great variety of difficulty levels. There are many old tracks that used to connect the various towns and villages from the coast to the summit which converge at the Chira basin with delightful spots to enjoy magnificient views over the Pilancones Natural Park and the neighbour island of Tenerife. An example from San Bartolome´s website is http://turismo.maspalomas.com/pdf1_en/10_vueltachiraEN.pdf
You can also enjoy rock climbing and free fly in this natural Gran Canaria.
Bike rentals are possible.
If you like walking then this is the place to be! Most of the best walks on the island are within a 20minute drive of here. Stock up well on your way up as the supermarket is over an hour away. There is a good shop in Santa Lucia which is 25mins away. There are also a few good restaurants there as well. The house has a nice rustic feel about it and has a great outdoor BBQ / eating area. The pool was very welcoming on a daily basis, my only complaint would be the roller for the pool cover does not work very well so a lot of hard work and effort goes into removing it!
This is a charming and cosy little house with great outdoor space set in beautiful flower strewn valley (in March anyway). A car is a must as it is off the beaten track and make sure you stock up before heading up the mountain as its a long way to the shops!
Once there, the scenery and walking is stunning and my 2 girls (3 and 5) loved the dry river beds, flowers and of course the pool.
Its cold at night up here so bring a fleece and warm clothes in winter and spring. Don't expect a hectic night life, but if you want peace and quiet and a proper chillout, bring books, stock up the fridge and give it a try. The owners are helpful and communication is simple and strightforward by email.
We, a family of 4 spent one week end of December in the house which is rustic but nice with the pool, the patio, the wonderful view, the lemon and orange trees, the outdoor equipment and the weather (a bit cold though). The house is completely isolated which is very nice on one side but with some drawbacks on the other side that you have to be aware of. Indeed, you have to know that it takes 20-25 min to go to the first restaurant and 40 min to go to the first (small) supermarket with a crazy road. It takes 1 hour 15 min to reach the beach (which is very great, especially Los palomas) again via a road made of (at least) 350 turns. Despite the fact that the house is isolated, it was not quiet simply because of the continuous barking of a few dogs during the day and...during the night (but maybe we were not lucky). The final negative point was the temperature of the swimming pool: it never exceeded 20-21°C unlike what we have been told before the stay and during the stay (and despite the use of the "cover" during the night!). Anyway, the contact with Beatriz before and during the stay were extremely good and very professional.
Finally, I would suggest the owner to give a better description of the different places to go like restaurants, supermarkets, walking trails...
Haus und Grundstück inkl. Pool sind wirklich traumhaft, sauber und entsprechen absolut der Beschreibung. Vielleicht etwas wenig Stauraum für Kleidung, die ein oder andere Glühbirne (inkl. der im Kühlschrank) gehört erneuert und am Gasherd sollte man die eine Elektroplatte besser nicht verwenden, den ruck zuck ist die ganze Hütte dunkel, weil die Sicherung rausfliegt, besser nur auf/mit den drei Gasflammen kochen. Die Lage könnte man als "fernab vom Schuss" bezeichnen, was so ja auch in der Beschreibung steht, aber vor Ort sind die Dimensionen doch noch mal anders. Es gibt zwar einige Häuser in der Umgebung sowie auch eine kleine Bar, aber das war's dann auch schon. Als Ausgangspunkt für Wanderungen ist die Lage gut, der Stausee sowie diverse Wanderwege liegen quasi direkt vor der Haustür. Aber man will ja nicht jeden Tag wandern gehen, nä?!? Fünfzehn Kilometer bis zum nächsten (kleineren) Supermarkt hören sich zwar nicht ganz sooooo schlimm an, gefühlt sind es jedoch eher 30 bis 40 KM, da man aufgrund der Serpentinen und teilweise recht engen Straßen nicht wirklich zügig vorrankommt. Da iss nix mit eben noch mal schnell los, weil man was vergessen hat.....
Die Vermieter sind sehr nett und hilfsbereit, kommen 1x wöchentlich um Pool & Grundstück zu reinigen sowie die Betten frisch zu beziehen.
Fazit: wer's wirklich ruhig will und wem die weiten Wege nichts ausmachen, der ist in dem Objekt bestens aufgehoben und fühlt sich sehr wohl.

A short walk down the road from the house takes you to our small village of Cercados de Araña, with its basic amenities, whilst the waters of the Chira reservoir can also be reached on foot encouraging even the laziest to make pleasant strolls around. The restaurant La Candelilla is always open and it is just at 6km. For further amenities, the attractive hillside town of San Bartolomé de Tirajana with its glistening streets of whitewashed houses is 15kms away and a pleasing range of local restaurants can be reached at the same distance, whilst the coast is 30kms away with the best beaches of the island like Maspalomas and El Inglés and beside them are the Salobre Golf course and Aquapark.
Other Activities: Archeological sites, birdwatching and gorgeous stars at night.

Missouri picked up a recommitment from DeSmet offensive tackle Andy Bauer, who made the announcement Monday on Twitter.
Bauer originally committed to the Tigers after his sophomore year, but reopened his commitment last summer and wound up giving Mississippi a verbal pledge.
But he reversed course again and will honor his original commitment to Missouri.
"Through much prayer, discernment and communication with my family I have decided to attend and play football for the University of Missouri," Bauer's statement read in part.
Bauer, 6 feet 6 and 304 pounds, is the top-ranked prospect in Missouri for the Class of 2014, according to Rivals.com. He is the No. 11 overall commitment at offensive tackle and ranked 105th overall by the recruiting service.
Bauer has sat out all season because of a torn labrum in his hip, the St. Louis Post-Dispatch reported. He is recovering from an August hip surgery and is expected to enroll at semester. In addition to Missouri and Missisippi, Bauer has offers from nearly 40 BCS programs, including Alabama, Florida State, Kansas State and Ohio State.Here is my statement: pic.twitter.com/y6BEspqFnG

Podcasts are audio files that you can download to your phone, tablet or computer and listen to at any time.
You can listen directly in your web browser, but most people choose to listen to podcasts on the go – commuting, or in the gym or whatever.
To do so you'll need a compatible app such as Apple Podcasts (comes included in the iPhone), iTunes, Podbean, Stitcher, Blubrry – see here for advice on podcast apps for Android users.
It's best if you subscribe, then you can get each new episode delivered to your phone (or other device) as they are released.
Podcasts are now released at the end of each month (although reliability is currently variable due to workload). Occasional extra podcasts are released randomly to keep you on your toes.
If you like the podcast and would like it to continue, please support it by providing a lovely review on iTunes, by liking the content on this website, and by sharing the content via Twitter, LinkedIn and other social media.
If you'd like to contribute, please get in touch.

Our aim is to make your visit to the consultation centre as comfortable as possible. On arrival you will be greeted by a receptionist who will be able to answer questions you may have about your consultation. The receptionist will ask you to provide proof of your identity, your arrival will be recorded on our computer system, and we will offer you a travel expense claim form.
The consultation will be conducted by one of our Health Professionals, who is trained in disability assessments, and will be able to assess the impact of your health condition or disability on daily life. You will be treated with dignity and respect throughout the consultation.
The Health Professional will have reviewed your How Your Disability Affects You form before your consultation, and any supporting evidence you have provided before your appointment.
You will be encouraged to discuss a range of topics that relate to your daily life. The Health Professional will make a record of your discussion during the consultation, which you will be able to view.
The consultation will not be a full physical examination or an attempt to diagnose your medical symptoms. It will focus on how your life is affected by the challenges you face as a result of your health condition or disability. Each person is different and will be treated as an individual.
Any physical examination that may be required will only involve you performing simple movements relative to your condition and within your abilities. You will not be asked to do anything that will cause you discomfort. This examination may also include a Mental Function Assessment which will be tailored to your individual situation. The Health Professional may also be able to see some of the difficulties that you have with certain tasks during the time you spend together, which can add further value to the report.
You might wish to make notes during your consultation. We are not required to take a copy of these for the DWP, nor do we need a copy of them. We ask that you retain the notes for your personal use only.
It is possible for you to audio record your consultation. There are certain requirements that DWP have set for the audio recording of consultations, which have been listed below:
We will keep our copy of the recording securely for a maximum of 14 months. After that time, we will destroy it. We don't normally pass the recordings onto DWP and they do not use it when deciding on your entitlement and award of PIP.
It is also useful to note that if you try to record the consultation without contacting us before hand and agreeing with the requirements set out above then your consultation may be stopped and we may have to pass your case back to DWP.
We ask that you arrive on time for your consultation and we will see you as promptly as we can. There is no set duration for consultations because we treat all claimants individually and we recognise that people have differing needs according to their health conditions or disabilities and the impact of these on their daily lives. Typically, consultations last up to 60 minutes.
Our Health Professionals are highly skilled and trained to accurately assess the impact of health conditions and disabilities on your daily life, using DWP criteria. They come from NHS organisations, hospitals and other health backgrounds, so they have experience working with people in all kinds of complex and challenging circumstances.

Servicemembers Opportunity Colleges (SOC) consortium colleges and universities are dedicated to helping Servicemembers and their families earn college degrees. Military students can take courses in their off-duty hours at or near military installations in the United States, overseas, and on Navy ships. For more information regarding participating colleges and curriculum offerings, consult the SOC Web site.
SOC DNS is a system of college curriculum networks designed by SOC for Army Soldiers and their adult family members. Networks consist of groups of colleges and universities that have agreed to accept each other's courses in a particular program of study. Students can move freely among the colleges in a network without being reevaluated or worrying about whether or not courses will transfer. SOC DNS-2 is the associate degree network program; SOC DNS-4 is the bachelor's degree network program. SOC DNS-2 and SOC DNS-4 colleges provide students with the opportunity to complete college degrees without losing credit because of frequent changes in duty station. Curricula, or courses of study, are offered by colleges and universities on or accessible to most Army installations worldwide. A Soldier can take advantage of the SOC DNS network system by contacting a local Army Education Center (AEC). The Army Education Counselor helps the Soldier with program selection, tuition assistance, and referral to a SOC DNS college or university. This college is the "home college" for the SOC DNS student.

In order to do this, I'd need to...
- Scrape the HTML from the web page and find the event data
- Connect to Google Calendar and add the events found
Because I like programming in python, the first thing I did was to go get the latest copy of BeautifulSoup, which is a library that is unbelievably handy for scraping data out of HTML and also Google GData which lets me talk to Google Calendar.
I so I began...
import urllib, urlparse, gdata, time, datetime
from bs4 import BeautifulSoup
import atom
import gdata.calendar
import gdata.calendar.service
... and loaded the libraries. Then I connected to Google Calendar, like this...
print "Connecting to Google Calendar"
calendar_service = gdata.calendar.service.CalendarService()
calendar_service.email = '*********@york.ac.uk'
calendar_service.password = '**********'
calendar_service.source = 'Google-Calendar_Python_Sample-1.0'
.... then got the web page with the Festival of Ideas events on it like this...
url = 'http://yorkfestivalofideas.com/talks/'
print "reading ", url
u = urllib.urlopen( url )
html = u.read()
... At this point, I knew I wanted to create a separate calendar, so I made one in Google Calendar ( IMPORTANT! Set the timezone of your newly created calendar!!! ). Once I'd done this, I could then find what's called the calendar link which you use to specify which calendar you want events to go into...
def get_my_calendars_url(cal_name):
feed = calendar_service.GetOwnCalendarsFeed()
for i, a_calendar in enumerate(feed.entry):
name = a_calendar.title.text
print i, a_calendar.title.text, a_calendar.link[0].href
if name == cal_name:
return a_calendar.link[0].href
calendar_link = get_my_calendars_url("Festival of Ideas")
So, now I have some HTML with useful information in it and a way of connecting to my chosen calendar... I need to use Beautiful soup to fish out the data I need. I begin like this...
soup = BeautifulSoup( html )
events = soup.find_all("div", {'class':'event'})
... Now the HTML has been turned into a "soup" which means I can do fancy things with it... like the 2nd line above where I grab any DIV that is of class "event" from code that looks like this..

Where it all began: The Big Bang | |

Professor Carlos Frenk will open this year's York Festival of Ideas with a talk on the biggest metamorphosis of all - that of the universe as a whole, from the simplicity of the Big Bang to the complexity of the universe of galaxies, stars, and the planet on which we live. | |

...Once I've got a list of events I can then do this... which finds the title, and the text and the dates and times of the events....
for event in events:
title = event.find('p', {'class':'eventtitle'}).find('a').contents[0].strip()
href = event.find('p', {'class':'eventtitle'}).find('a')['href']
href = urlparse.urljoin(url, href)
#Get the actual page in the href!
u = urllib.urlopen( href )
event_html = u.read()
small_soup = BeautifulSoup(event_html)
start_time = small_soup.find('abbr', {'class':'dtstart'})['title']
st = time.strptime(start_time, "%Y-%m-%dT%H:%M")
end_dt = datetime.datetime(2012, st.tm_mon, st.tm_mday, st.tm_hour+2, 0, 0)
end_time = end_dt.strftime("%Y-%m-%dT%H:%M:%S")
start_time = start_time + ":00" #HACK UG!
teaser = event.find('p', {'class':'eventteaser'}).contents[0].strip()
teaser = teaser + "\n\n" + href
print "creating event:", title
print create_event(title, teaser, "York, UK", start_time, end_time)
print "_" * 80
except Exception, err:
print err
.... and the create_event code, which uses that calendar_link mentioned earlier, is...
def create_event( title='A lovely event',
content='Some text about it',
where='York, UK', start_time=None, end_time=None):
event = gdata.calendar.CalendarEventEntry()
event.title = atom.Title(text=title)
event.content = atom.Content(text=content)
#time_zone = 'Europe/London'
#event.timezone = gdata.calendar.data.TimeZoneProperty(value=time_zone)
if start_time is None:
# Use current time for the start_time and have the event last 1 hour
start_time = time.strftime('%Y-%m-%dT%H:%M:%S.000Z', time.gmtime())
end_time = time.strftime('%Y-%m-%dT%H:%M:%S.000Z', time.gmtime(time.time() + 3600))
event.when.append(gdata.calendar.When(start_time=start_time, end_time=end_time))
new_event = calendar_service.InsertEvent(event, calendar_link)
return new_event
... Putting it all together I got a events that can be displayed in a fairly rubbishy widget ( go to June 2012 to see the events! ) or a calendar that anyone can browse here.
The End Result?
To be honest, presentation isn't Google Calendar's strongpoint is it? It's fugly. It's all about the utility though... and I suppose making sure you get to those events.
I guess my point was, and is, that more of this sort of data should be ending up in places that I can use it, i.e in Google Calendar rather than hiding on a web page somewhere. Maybe this little bit of code will help someone to get their events in a more usable form.
