Web Audio Plus. - Alice faces a teamwork conundrum Following Hurricane Gustav on YouTube The country watched as Hurricane Gustav swept through the Caribbean and into the Gulf this weekend, making landfall in Louisiana on Monday. Memories of Hurricane Katrina, the powerful storm that devastated New Orleans exactly three years ago, remain fresh in the minds of area residents. To ensure that no one relived that experience, Louisiana leaders ordered a mandatory evacuation on Saturday that has pushed more than two million people to leave their homes and seek safer lodgings. Those living in areas affected by Gustav have been uploading videos documenting the storm from their vantage points — whether it be from inside their homes, braving the elements in their backyards, or even surveying empty streets while riding on a bike. Check out this playlist of Hurricane Gustav videos: Though thankfully Gustav’s impact turned out to be less destructive than initially feared, many members of the YouTube community stood by with prayers and messages of support, including attendees of the Republican National Convention in St. Paul, Minnesota. Yours, Olivia YouTube News & Politics Tip of the Day: A Long Exposure Check out Bryan Shaler s video of how to get a cool long exposure photo on an escalator: Metallica’s Favorite YouTube Shredders Heavy metal rockers Metallica have inspired countless musicians on YouTube think extreme guitar soloists, pounding drummers, violin trios, hard-edged vocalists and even animated kerrang-ing Lego musicians. Turns out the band itself has noted this phenomenon. Here’s drummer Lars Ulrich revealing his favorite Metallica-inspired videos and wondering if some of these talented musicians might even out-play his own group: The videos the band chose include an eight-year-old guitar phenom from Sweden, a Spanish violin trio performing “Nothing Else Matters,” teenagers banging out “Master of Puppets” in their bedroom, and Canadian “Shred the Web” winner (and uber-fan) Francisco Meza. Lars shares the whole playlist on the MetallicaTV channel and today we are featuring them on YouTube’s home page. Also featured is the new Metallica video, “The Day That Never Comes,” an epic guitar-solo journey through the desert during wartime. Happy Headbanging, Michele K-Tel YouTube music From the PopPhoto Flash Archives April 18 2007 Tip of the Day: Don’t Hold Your Breath Despite what you ve heard, holding your breath when you shoot won t help you get… Hope on the Horizon Over ten million people are currently living with cancer and millions more have been touched by the disease in a profound way. Dozens of these people are using YouTube to share their stories and to demand that funding for cancer research increase so that doctors can finally find a cure. Stand Up To Cancer, a nonprofit organization who is leading the charge to raise funds for research, is shining the spotlight on these users by serving as today’s homepage guest editor: The videos Stand Up To Cancer has selected are a touching medley of narratives from those living with cancer, celebrities using humor to draw attention to this serious subject, nonprofits working hard to raise awareness, and individuals showing their support for a cure in creative ways. In recent years, sizable breakthroughs in cancer research have created the opportunity to stop cancer in its tracks. However, for the first time in over three decades, federal funding for this research is decreasing. You can voice your support for increased federal funding or make a donation to support the next generation of cancer research by visiting http://www.standup2cancer.org. Standing up, Ramya R. YouTube Nonprofits & Activism Beijing Paralympics on YouTube The 2008 Paralympic Summer Games officially opened in Beijing’s Bird’s Nest stadium yesterday, where over the next 11 days, 4000 athletes from 150 countries will compete in 20 sports for 472 gold medals. Be sure to check out Paralympic Sport TV’s YouTube channel over the next two weeks for event footage, profiles, interviews and more. A few athletes to watch for: world No. 1 wheelchair tennis player Esther Vergeer from the Netherlands, Canada’s Chantal Petitclerc, German swimmer Kristen Bruhn and South African sprinter Oscar Pistorious, aka “The Blade Runner.” Pistorious’s recent attempt to qualify for the South African Olympic team electrified the sports world, but he’ll be challenged by a highly-competitive field of sprinters. Here’s a recent profile of Oscar: Some interesting facts about the XIII Paralympic Games: > The host country of China is looking to surpass the 63 gold medals they won in Athens in 2004. In preparation for the Games, the Beijing city government made subway stations wheelchair accessible and added 2000 wheelchair-accessible buses and taxis. > Sixteen of the 213 athletes on the U.S. delegation are military veterans, including swimmer Melissa Stockwell, an Army veteran of the Iraq War, and discus and shot put thrower Scott Winkler, an Army veteran of the campaign in Afghanistan. > Wheelchair rugby — or “murderball” as it’s known to most fans — has its own welding shop in the Olympic Village to repair dents and busted chairs resulting from high-speed collisions. In addition to watching all the action, you can upload your own Paralympic moment to YouTube and add it to Paralympic Sport TV’s YouTube group. Enjoy! Andrew B. YouTube Sports

  Paralympics Opening Ceremony

  88 days ago in Swifter Higher: a weblog about the Olympic Games · Authority: 5

  Not only did legendary Chinese film director Zhang Yimou orchestrate the two Olympic bookends, he's been spending the last two weeks making sure the Paralympic Opening Ceremony was perfect as well. There were familiar things, like the 10-second countdown done in fireworks. But instead of the Parade of Nations following the artistic portion, the athletes marched in first, so they could watch the proceedings from the two ends. Pop star Andy Lau performed the official song of both the Paralympics and the modern Communist party, "Everyone is No. 1." The emotional highlight was an airborne dance by 12-year old Li Yuan, who lost her leg in the Sichuan earthquake. In a departure from the solemn and powerful Olympic ceremonies, there were these odd numbered imps, pictured above. Two thousand children made outlines of animals on the stadium floor and the audience was prompted to make the proper duck, frog and seagull noises. The Closing Ceremony two weeks ago could have used a little more of those elements. The torch lighting -- an event made memorable a month ago by Los Angeles 1984 star Li Ning's skywalk around the rim of the stadium -- was much more vertical than horizontal. Wheelchair athlete Hou Bin, a high jump champion at the past three Paralympics, pulled himself up with a rope (right) to the bottom tip of the cauldron before lighting it with the torch. It's nice to see the flame lit again. The spectacle unfolded in front of another packed Bird's Nest, and there was little profit involved. The Chinese government offered free T-shirts, baseball caps, bottled water, lunch boxes and cash to attendees. As would be expected, much of the sporting world -- specifically the United States of America -- has cured its own Olympic fever and is back to football. The Paralympic Opening Ceremony was not shown on U.S. television, but can be viewed online on Universal Sports' website. One can also watch competitions on YouTube, free of the usual Olympic restrictions. (Photo credit: AP)

  Giochi paraolimpici

  [fr] ParalympicSportTV est le site officiel des Jeux paralympiques qui propose des vidéos en directe et en différée et sa chaîne sur YouTube. [it] ParalympicSportTV è il sito ufficiale dei Giochi paraolimpici che propone video in diretta e registrazioni ed un proprio canale su YouTube. Il problema dei diritti di diffusione di eventi sportivi è il freno maggiore alla diffusione di questi contenuti su internet. Le emittenti televisive acquistano, a prezzi molto elevati, i diritti esclusivi per il territorio che coprono, di conseguenza esigono che anche via internet le immagini disponibili passino da loro, in modo da garantire l’esclusiva agli sponsor. Nel caso dei Giochi paraolimpici, l’interesse è minore, di conseguenza la vendita dei diritti segue dei criteri diversi lasciando la possibilità di diffondere a livello globale questi eventi via internet.
