When: Apr 25 - 30, 2011 Where: Edward Jones Dome football stadium Description: These are the international finals. It is the 1st time held in St. Louis and we will also have these finals in 2012 & 2013. The regionals were on SLU's campus in March. The idea is for high schools to compete against each other in building robots which will compete in a game. The game rules are changed each year so that the students need to "think it thru new" and not just rebuild last year's model. The students have had ~6 weeks to build the robot after being told the new game. Segway inventor Ray Kurzwiel , who started the FIRST competition, wnats to bring the excitement of high school sports to engineering & science! Go volunteer to be an advisor at your favosite high school! Last year, he announced the (inter)national finals had been granted to ST.

The techniques we will cover are used in 3D Art, Games and major motion pictures. In this first of two parts, we will show you how to make some simple objects such as an hour glass, apple, table, etc. We will also cover some of the basics of object textures and materials to give a real life look to your rendered objects. "The Art of Illusion" software will be provided and requires java. This will lead to next month when we will learn to animate these drawings/models. Ed is formerly a multi-term president of SLUUG as well as vice president and bod spent years organizing our meetings and keeping our servers available in years where we expanded into multiple SIGs and multiple mtngs each month.

Deadline to apply for FREE NSF workshop on Aquatic GIS. When: Saturday, Apr 30, 2011 GIS Applications in Aquatic Ecology and Evolutionary Biology Where: Department of Biology and Center for Environmental Sciences Saint Louis University, Saint Louis, Missouri When: June 27-29, 2011 and August 17-19, 2011 Workshop purpose and goals: The application of GIS to the study of biological patterns and processes in terrestrial systems has expanded dramatically during the past decade and served as a valuable resource in ecology and evolutionary biology. This expansion is largely due to the availability of relevant environmental datasets and species distribution data. At the same time, GIS-based studies of aquatic systems have lagged behind and often relied on terrestrial surrogates for data sources. A general goal of this workshop is to train & establish an interactive group of researchers and educators applying GIS techniques to aquatic systems. Applicants with all levels of GIS experience are welcome; however, the workshop is developed and presented for aquatic biologists with little to no background in GIS techniques. The workshop will cover topics including: 1) basic acquisition and manipulation of GIS data, 2) GIS data sources for aquatic research, 3) quantification of environmental attributes of species. habitat use at multiple spatial scales, 4) species distribution modeling, and 5) development and application of hydrologic data to studies of aquatic systems. The majority of the training will be conducted using ArcGIS; however, other software options will be presented. Computer space will be provided for each attendee. More details on the specific schedule will be provided in the near future. Participants: Faculty/Research Scientists, Postdoctoral Researchers, and Graduate Students conducting research in aquatic systems. Sponsors: National Science Foundation & Saint Louis University Cost: Free (Participants responsible for meals, travel, and lodging) Application: Please email a statement of application including a description of your research interests (maximum 1 page) and a C.V. to Dr. Jason Knouft at aquaticGIS(a)slu.edu by April 30. GIS experience is not a prerequisite for the workshop. A total of 20 spots are available for each workshop. Please indicate the dates you would like to attend (June 27-29 or August 17-19). If you are available for both dates (one or the other), please indicate this in your application. http://pages.slu.edu/faculty/jknouft/index_files/Page304.htm ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ All day Marconi Day? ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- All day SharePoint Saturday When: Saturday, Apr 30, 2011 http://www.sharepointsaturday.org/stlouis/default.aspx ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ 2:00pm GAMP - Gateway Area Mac Programers When: Sat, April 30, 2pm . 4pm Where: 120 S Kirkwood Rd, St Louis, MO 63122 (map) See http://www.gamprog.org/ Kaldi's Coffee House Usually last Saturday of month St. Louis CocoaHeads Monthly meeting for Mac & iPhone Programming ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ 2:00pm MC-Clinic - Video Capture and Editing When: Sat, April 30, 2pm . 3pm Where: 87 Brentwood Promenade Ct., Brentwood, MO 63144 Micro Center In Store Clinic FREE in-store computer technology clinic, http://www.microcenter.com/instore_clinic/sign_up.html to sign up. ============================================================================== Sunday, May 1 ============================================================================= 1:00pm CWElug Central West End Linux Users' Group When: Sun, May 1, 1pm . 5pm Where: 1610 S.

"How do you Build Your Online Brand?" How do you make a name for yourself in these days of online overload, with journalists, bloggers, commenters and everyone else with access to the Internet competing for attention? Many successful "web-eneurs" have established a personal brand and, with the help of social media sites such as Facebook and Twitter, made their own name and their sites go-to destinations on the Web. The St. Louis Chapter of the Society of Professional Journalists will look at how to set up, polish and market your personal brand, and the potential pitfalls of putting too much of yourself out there, at its next lunch gathering. The lunch will feature: Evan Benn, who in just a couple of years at the Post-Dispatch has made himself and his Hip Hops blog reliable and popular sources for all things hops-related across the region. Angela Ortmann, who has used her stlwinegirl website and web identity to build up an event and consultation business. Earlier this year, the Riverfront Times honored her for Best Use of Facebook to Promote a Personal Brand in its Point & Clique awards. Chad Garrison, writer and blog manager/editor at the Riverfront Times, and one of the judges of its Point & Clique awards, honoring the best use of the Web by local people and groups. Scott Granneman, an expert on web security and adjunct professor at Washington University in St. Louis, teaching courses on technology, security, and the Internet. He also plans, develops and hosts websites. The lunch is set for noon Thursday, April 14, at Lucas Park Grille, 1234 Washington Avenue in downtown St. Louis.

Directions: From 270, east on Page left on Ball Dr. Title: Clojure: Art of Abstraction Presented By: Alex Miller (Revelytix) About the Presentation: Clojure is a new language that combines the power of Lisp with an existing hosted VM ecosystem (the Java VM). Clojure is a dynamically typed, functional, compiled language with performance on par with Java. At the heart of all programming lies the need for abstraction, be it abstraction over our data or abstraction over the processes that operate upon it. Clojure provides a core set of powerful abstractions and ways to compose them. These abstractions are based in a heritage of Lisp but also cover many aspects of object-oriented programming as well. This talk will examine these abstractions and introduce you to both Clojure and functional programming. Attendees are not expected to be familiar with either Clojure or FP. ============================================================================= Friday, April 15 ============================================================================ 1:00pm NCORCC Fri, April 15, 1pm . 3pm 915 Utz Lane Hazelwood, MO 63042 The County Older Residents Computer Club Prarie Commons Branch (between Howdershell and Dunn) http://www.corcc-stl.com/ ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ 7:00pm SLARC - St. Louis Area Radio Club Fri, April 15, 7pm . 8pm Buder Park, Valley Park, MO 63088 Monthly Meeting ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- 7:30pm SLAS - St. Louis Astronomical Society Life in Extreme Environments.
