At http://www.chess.ibm.park.org/ you can follow the 5th Kasparov-Deep Blue
game today, starting at 3 o'clock.  The connection is a bit slow but for
anyone with any interest in chess, this is THE place to be.

At http://www.ai.mit.edu/cvieri/ you can follow Carlin Vieri's oral exam
today, starting at 2 o'clock.  The connection is a bit slow but for anyone
with an interest in oral exams, this is THE place to be.

>From 2 to 3 PM Carlin's talk will be piped directly to the web.  Watch the
VieriCam as it focuses on his twitching eyebrows or pans to reveal the
slack jaws of his audience.  Click on the mouth icon to hear a sound bite
("Reversible computing is like unreversible computing without the un").
Watch Carlin sweat in the corridor as his examiners indulge in a Parchesi
game or two before the question period.  Suggest nasty questions to his
inquisitors via e-mail.  Push the electric shock button.

There will be running commentary by International Grandmasters Bawden
(2737) and Sobalvarro (2698).

After, join us for a beverage at the

		    G I R L   S C O U T   B E N E F I T

and compare Kasparov and Vieri's performance.  Who wore the better tie?
