2. The Award winning documentary: Famingville
On Thursday, September 23, 2004 "Farmingville" the award winning documentary of Long Island hate crimes will be presented for a special viewing at: The Charles B. Wang Center-Room 102- 4:00-6:00 p.m.
Please RSVP by calling 2-6280.
The shocking hate-based attempted murders of two Mexican day laborers catapult a small Long Island town into national headlines, unmasking a new frontline in the border wars: suburbia. For nearly a year, the filmmakers lived and worked in Farmingville, so they could capture first-hand the stories of residents, day laborers and activists on all sides. A timely and powerful film, Farmingville is more than a story about illegal immigration. Ultimately it challenges us to ask what the "American dream" really means. Farmingville received a Special Jury Prize at the 2004 Sundance Film Festival and was awarded Best Documentary at San Antonio's CineFestival.

12. Talk: Spoken Dialogue Systems for Planetary Exploration, John Dowding/NASA Ames
Wednesday, Sept. 8th 2:30-3:30 p.m., CS Building room 2311
Astronauts in space suits on EVA have few options for interacting with their computer hardware and software systems. Pressurized suits and gloves restrict movement, which makes the use of keyboards and mice problematic. During a series of NASA-sponsored field tests, we have explored the use of spoken dialogue systems for all computer interactions, effectively using mouth and ears instead of hands and eyes. This talk will focus on the results of the most recent field test, conducted at the Mars Desert Research Station (MDRS) during Rotation 29, from April 25th to May 9th, 2004. This work is part of the Mobile Agents project at NASA Ames Research Center.
