The Center for Robotic Surgery at Roswell Park Cancer Institute and the University of Buffalo School of Engineering have collaborated to create RoSS, the Robotic Surgical Simulator. Unlike our Ross, who works odd hours and covers fuel cell unveils with innate skill, this RoSS allows doctors to slice and dice virtual patients without worrying about any messy cleanups -- or messy lawsuits. We're guessing it'll be awhile before consumer versions hit the market, but just in case we've gone ahead and put our pre-orders in for the prostate expansion to Microsoft Cutting Sim 2014™.

Cox University of Sheffield, UK [email protected] Abstract The “photosharing” site Flickr is one of the most commonly cited examples used to define Web2.0. This paper explores where Flickr’s real novelty lies, examining its functionality and its place in the world of amateur photography. The paper draws on a wide range of sources including published interviews with its developers, user opinions expressed in forums, telephone interviews and content analysis of user profiles and activity. Flickr’s development path passes from an innovative social game to a relatively familiar model of a website, itself developed through intense user participation but later stabilising with the reassertion of a commercial relationship to the membership. The broader context of the impact of Flickr is examined by looking at the institutions of amateur photography and particularly the code of pictorialism promoted by the clubs and industry during the C20th. The nature of Flickr as a benign space is premised on the way the democratic potential of photography is controlled by such institutions.

LOH has been approved for the Center for International Studies by Yeong H. Kim Associate Professor of Geography Christine Su Director, Southeast Asian Studies Ming Li Interim Executive Director, Center for International Studies 3 ABSTRACT LOH, BENJAMIN Y., M.A., August 2013, Asian Studies Massively Multiplayer Online Role Playing Games (MMORPGs) in Malaysia: The Global-Local Nexus Director of Thesis: Yeong H. Kim Massively Multiplayer Online Role-Playing Games (MMORPGs) are online entities that are truly global and borderless by nature, but in smaller countries like Malaysia, they are licensed by global developers to local publishers to be localized for local players. From a globalization perspective this appears to be a one-way, top-down relationship from the global to the local. However, this is not the case as the relationship is interchangeable, known as the Global-Local Nexus, as neither of these forces has control over the other, but at the same time they have great influence over one another. This thesis examines the Global-Local Nexus in MMORPGs industry in Malaysia between global developers and local publishers and players. The research was conducted through a series of personal interviews with local publisher representatives and local players.
