Beaches ready after repairs post-Sandy

WESTERLY, R.I. (WPRI) -- After a lot of rebuilding and repair -- in recovery from Superstorm Sandy -- South County's state beaches are ready to open this weekend, say state parks officials.

Sandy caused massive damage, covering some areas in debris -- and tearing apart buildings and structures. The winds also caused major shifts to many dunes, throwing the sand everywhere. "To see what the places look like today, compared to what they looked like in October... It's incredible," said Thomas Mitchell, the superintendent of Rhode Island's State Parks and Beaches.

Crews have been working tirelessly the past six months to restore the beaches, he said.

"They're places people can go. Families can enjoy memories. And we're just glad we can give the people the opportunity to go there again."

Some minor renovations still need to be done, but the deadline for those is Memorial Day, when the beaches will be open daily.

The cash and person-power it took for restoration is worth it -- because the state benefits from keeping its beaches beautiful, he said. "The communities benefit from it. So, it's extremely important for the economy of the state of Rhode Island... and the money that comes into the state... that the facilities were up and running in time."

Astronomy Enthusiasts Invited to Meet with Professional Counterparts

The Indy 500 happens twice this year: once in late May, when the world's elite auto racers converge on the Indianapolis Motor Speedway, and again a week later, when more than 500 professional astronomers, educators, journalists, and guests converge on downtown Indianapolis for the 222nd meeting of the American Astronomical Society (AAS), 2-6 June 2013, at the Indiana Convention Center, 100 S. Capitol Avenue, Indianapolis, IN 46225. Meeting website: http://aas.org/meetings/aas-222nd-meeting

For the first time ever, the AAS is opening its meeting toamateur astronomers and other interested members of the public, who may take advantage of a special one-day registration rate of $50 per day on Monday, 3 June, or Tuesday, 4 June, or both days (in which case the cost will be $100). Conference hours are 8 a.m. to 9 p.m. EDT.

Registration includes access to all scientific sessions, including invited and prize talks, oral and poster presentations, and public-policy "Town Hall" meetings with representatives from the National Science Foundation (Monday) and NASA Headquarters (Tuesday). Your badge also gets you in to the exhibit hall, where you can meet scientists working on major ground- and space-based telescopes, check out some of the newest astronomy books and products, and even immerse yourself in a digital planetarium experience. In addition to the regularly scheduled science talks, there will be numerous presentations and an evening "star party" designed especially to appeal to amateur astronomers and the public. More information: http://aas.org/aas-222nd-meeting/one-day-program-amateur-astronomers-public.

Attendance at the 222nd AAS meeting in Indianapolis offers an unprecedented opportunity to rub shoulders with some of the world's leading astronomers and to hear the latest cosmic news from the newsmakers themselves. If you're interested, please complete our special One-Day Registration form: http://aas.org/content/aas-222nd-meeting-public-registration

The AAS offers complimentary press registration to qualified local media representatives who wish to cover the meeting: http://aas.org/aas-222nd-meeting/press-information

The AAS, established in 1899 and based in Washington, DC, is the major organization of professional astronomers and planetary scientists in North America. Its membership of about 7,000 also includes physicists, mathematicians, geologists, engineers, and others whose research interests lie within the broad spectrum of subjects now comprising contemporary astronomy. The mission of the AAS is to enhance and share humanity's scientific understanding of the universe.

The New AI: Where Neuroscience and Artificial Intelligence Meet

An anonymous reader writes "We're seeing a new revolution in artificial intelligence known as deep learning: algorithms modeled after the brain have made amazing strides and have been consistently winning both industrial and academic data competitions with minimal effort. 'Basically, it involves building neural networks networks that mimic the behavior of the human brain. Much like the brain, these multi-layered computer networks can gather information and react to it. They can build up an understanding of what objects look or sound like. In an effort to recreate human vision, for example, you might build a basic layer of artificial neurons that can detect simple things like the edges of a particular shape. The next layer could then piece together these edges to identify the larger shape, and then the shapes could be strung together to understand an object. The key here is that the software does all this on its own a big advantage over older AI models, which required engineers to massage the visual or auditory data so that it could be digested by the machine-learning algorithm.' Are we ready to blur the line between hardware and wetware?"
