==Tent Rocks National Monument on Saturday 22nd==
I would like to propose a field trip next Saturday (the 22nd), to visit the [http://www.blm.gov/nm/st/en/prog/recreation/rio_puerco/kasha_katuwe_tent_rocks.html Tent Rocks National Monument], which should be a very beautiful place.

==June 21 Madrid to see Juniper's Brother's band and to dance with hippies==

My brother's band [http://www.reverbnation.com/toddandthefox Todd and the Fox] is playing at the Mine Shaft in Madrid on June 21. Madrid is a ridiculous hippy town and has some of the best people watching there is. To boot, my brother's band is awesome and we can dance and have a great time http://www.reverbnation.com/show/10280700 --Juniper

Thumbs up!! -- [[Luís_Seoane | Luíño]]

Sounds great to me!! -- [[Jody_Wright | Jody]]

Sounds fun! I'd love to go. -Molly

I'm in too! -- Kevin

Sounds good! -- Melinda

I'm in too! -- Elisa

==More Games!==

So... I was thinking it might be fun to have a second games night some time this week- either to catch up on the Mafia/werewolf game that we didn't have on Sunday, or perhaps some other game. Some of you may have encountered [[That Game]]... which is as always being updated and altered. If you missed out on the first round, or want to play again (or simply want a chance to watch JP dissolving in laughter) then come along.
As for Time/Place... Ummm... I feel like Thursday evening might be good, perhaps upstairs lower common room... but if other times/day/place suggested then that's good too.

==Bandelier Field Trip==

We're taking a trip to [http://www.nps.gov/band/index.htm Bandelier National Monument] on Saturday June 8th. Please visit the [[Bandelier 2013 | Bandelier Field Trip]] Page to sign up!

==More Hiking!==

Check the [[Complex Systems Summer School 2013-Hiking]] page to see current plans!

Didn't get enough hiking at Bandelier? Come hiking/camping with me! I plan on going on a long hike (all day, preferably 10+ miles) one of the next two weekends. I brought things for camping and would love to do that if there is interest and it is possible to rent tents/sleeping bags in town (or if people want to just sleep outside, also fun). If that is not really possible or people would rather just go for a single day that is great as well. I am open to a lot of different things, there is so much great hiking around Santa Fe!

Some suggestions:
* [http://www.backpacker.com/april_1999_destinations_new_mexico_pecos_wilderness/destinations/696 Pecos Wilderness] - just outside of Santa Fe, lots of trails!
* [http://www.summitpost.org/wheeler-peak-nm/150429 Wheeler Peak] - tallest mountain in New Mexico, outside of Taos (would require either camping at the base or waking up very early to do it the day of)
** Near Taos we can find these [https://www.google.com/maps/preview#!data=!4m18!3m17!1m1!1sSanta+Fe+Institute%2C+1399+Hyde+Park+Road%2C+Santa+Fe%2C+New+Mexico!1m5!1sManby+Hot+Springs!2s0x87177428acfba0e5%3A0x69769a1d19abcbff!3m2!3d36.5083168!4d-105.7242545!3m8!1m3!1d10957!2d-105.7242545!3d36.5083162!3m2!1i1366!2i656!4f13.1&fid=0 hotsprings]!!!!!!!
* [http://www.fodors.com/world/north-america/usa/new-mexico/taos/review-465844.html Carson National Forest] - North of Santa Fe, another beautiful forest, lots of different entrance locations

I am up for any other suggestions if people have heard of trails they want to go on. Depending on how the fires progress we may or may not be limited, but should be able to do something! Send me an email if you are interested and we can talk logistics (bstoll1234@gmail.com) [[Brady_Stoll|Brady]]

I would love to go! I had a hike in mind too--Tesuque Peak, which is just by the ski area and is 12 miles, but I am up for any of them! -Lauren (lash1937@gmail.com)

I'm interested! -Hua (caih@umich.edu)

I'm defintley interested - Wheeler Peak sounds very interesting (I have to get camping stuff though)! - johannes (johannes dot schmidt at boku dot ac dot at)

If we did Wheeler Peak, I am highly in favor of the longer class 1 route. The shorter class 2 route has a scree slope at the end, and I really dislike scree (it scares me). If we camped at the trailhead, I have a 3 person tent that we could use. --Lauren

If you'd like a similar experience to Wheeler Peak, but a lot closer, I recommend Santa Fe Baldy (12600'). Well above treeline, with fantastic vistas in all directions. The trailhead is only about 20 minutes away at the Santa Fe Ski Basin. The roundtrip hike is about 14 miles, making it a reasonable day hike. As always with any mountain around here, you need to be off the exposed sections by about 2PM because of the danger from thunderstorms! --John L

More hiking would rock!(Although I'm not sure about optimal length...) --Todd

==Music on the Hill==

St. John's hosts [http://www.stjohnscollege.edu/events/SF/music.shtml live music] on the soccer field this Wednesday (June 12) as well as next Wednesday (June 19) and the Wednesday after (June 26). Performances start around 6:00 PM. It looks like all of the performers will be doing jazz. I really hope to make the June 19 performance, as this will be big band, which is (usually) great for dancing. Any other swing dancers in our group? --[[Vanessa_Schweizer | Vanessa]]

* sounds fun to me! -- Hua
* I'm definitely interested! --Molly
* Sounds fun to me as welll! --Brady
* Sounds fun! --Jody

==Mafia/Werewolf==
[[JP]] LOVES to Play [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mafia_(party_game) Mafia/Werewolf]. Let's set up a time one of these evenings in the lower commons...

This sounds pretty cool. [[todd_bodnar | Todd]]

I like Mafia a lot, and I also brought a card game called [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fluxx Fluxx], and also know a few other games you can play with just paper and pencil (like [http://natsdistractions.wordpress.com/2009/12/13/great-party-game/ Bucket of Nouns]). I think a game night would be fun! --Molly

I would love to play Go if anyone is interested. --John D -- Count me in!! -- [[Luís_Seoane | Luíño]]

We should probably set a time/day/place if we actually want this to happen... I suggest 7:00am on sunday, with the lower common room thing, unless something else is happening then.

I like the game! Count me in! -- Hua

==Dance party==

Would anyone be interested in some sort of clubbing/dance party some time this month? And to be clear I don't mean going down to a bar to sit round drinking beers- that can be fun too, but I'm meaning something more music/dance focused.
If so,

What bars/clubs do people know of the might work? what music do they provide?

What music are people interested in? Remember, music that is good to listen to is not always good for dancing (and to be fair, there's plenty of music which is fun to dance to, but might not actually be "good")

Also, didn't someone mention some degree of DJing or music abilities? I can't remember, but if so, we could try to get our hands on the light rigs in the lecture hall and just make our own dance part from scratch...

*Our own dance party from scratch sounds fun to me. --[[Vanessa_Schweizer | Vanessa]]

So, some investigation indicates that hosting a large scale party at St Johns could be fairly impossible. She suggested hiring a venue in town... but I figure if that's the case we might as well just head down there and take it over by force of numbers.

*There is a CSSS "Dance with Breadloaf workshop" scheduled for June 22 starting at 8:00 PM. Is this an actual dance, or is this a complexity science thing??? --[[Vanessa_Schweizer | Vanessa]]

==Mountain Biking==

I would like to go mountain biking on sunday (9th of June). Anybody interested in joining me? We can rent a bike in the city for either 30$ (hard tail) or 60$(fully), helmets are 4$ extra. For those who are interested: please put your name and your height (needed for bike reservation) here until Thursday evening, I'm going to reserve the bikes then. [[Johannes_Schmidt]]

==Athletic Things==

I've heard lots of people talking about running/walking etc, and at dinner last night we mentioned that it would be fun to have a running group. Anyone interested in having a running/walking group either in the mornings or evenings? Post interest here!

I'm interested in a (quick) '''walking group''' in the mornings. It's great to exercise a bit in this nice weather and be able to talk at the same time. [[Regina_Martinez |Regina]]
*I would also be up for quick walking - whether we mean walking briskly or walking for 20-30 min. --[[Vanessa_Schweizer | Vanessa]]

Also, I love ultimate frisbee! Anyone interested in either learning or playing a game perhaps sunday or after dinner one day next week? Let me know! [[Brady_Stoll|Brady]]
*Ultimate would be fun, although I had a pretty bad knee injury years ago and haven't done that much running since then. I could see how long I would last. --[[Vanessa_Schweizer | Vanessa]]
*That's fine, anything would be fun, even just throwing/teaching people to throw! -Brady
* Down to play. Anything planned for today? - Bapu
* I don't have any specific plans today, but would love to either throw or teach if you're interested before the sun goes down. Play for sure tomorrow? Lets say tomorrow after dinner for those interested
*'''Lets play frisbee today! (Wed) Meet after dinner and we'll walk over to the fields, or meet us there!'''

Or basketball? Anybody want to play a pickup game?
-I would play a pick up game -Brady

==Yoga==

Anyone interested in '''yoga tomorrow (Sunday 9th) at 7pm?''' Some of us are going to [[http://www.santafecommunityyoga.org/index.php/classes2/schedule]]. We are meeting at 6:30pm. There is only one more space in Lauren's car. But, if there are more people interested, we can try to find a solution for the commute. [[Regina_Martinez | Regina]]

Hi Regina - I would be interested in joining you for yoga if there is still space. Please email me at [[jjwright49@me.com]] and let me know. Thanks! - [[Jody_Wright | Jody]]

Anyone want to go to yoga tomorrow (Tuesday the 11th) evening? We were thinking of going to Hatha yoga at 5:30, so leaving campus at 5:00. We'll go to dinner afterwards too. Send me an email (lash1937@gmail.com) if interested. [[Lauren_Shoemaker | Lauren]]

==Sightseeing Weekend==

Anyone interested in going on a weekend road trip? This could be more of an 'easy going' option to the hiking trip proposed above. I was thinking of maybe driving up to Taos and doing some whitewater rafting and general sightseeing. Let me know if you are interested or have any other ideas. I don't have a car but am able to drive...

- [[Ivana_Stankov | Ivana]]

==THERE IS A FOURTH WEEKEND!!==

If you, like me, believe that CSSS lives on after Saturday 29...

If you, like me, are hanging around because you can't leave this sacred piece of ground anymore...

If you, like me, believe this month is only the beginning of a life that wasn't before...

Then you believe on the forth weekend!! I know many of you will stay a few days after CSSS is over and it would be nice to organize ourselves soon. So, if we choose to go somewhere, say taking a flight, we could get cheaper prices, etc! Also we will be needing shelter after the 29th. This might be an urgent thing ;) Let's use this to organize ourselves! I post some ideas below that I've heard around these days. -- [[Luís_Seoane | Luíño]]

*Trip to the Gran Canyon?
*Camping in some national park?
*Trip to San Francisco?
*Trip to Las Vegas where we make up random couples and get married :?

I vote for Grand Canyon + San Francisco. I have my plane back home from Albuquerque on the 7th of July, so I am totally in for post school plans! -- Elisa

If you come to San Francisco, I can probably show you some cool places. --[[Nix_Barnett | Nix]]

==June 21 Madrid to see Juniper's Brother's band and to dance with hippies==

My brother's band [http://www.reverbnation.com/toddandthefox Todd and the Fox] is playing at the Mine Shaft in Madrid on June 21. Madrid is a ridiculous hippy town and has some of the best people watching there is. To boot, my brother's band is awesome and we can dance and have a great time http://www.reverbnation.com/show/10280700 --Juniper

Thumbs up!! -- [[Luís_Seoane | Luíño]]

Sounds great to me!! -- [[Jody_Wright | Jody]]

Sounds fun! I'd love to go. -Molly

I'm in too! -- Kevin

Sounds good! -- Melinda

I'm in too! -- Elisa

==More Games!==

So... I was thinking it might be fun to have a second games night some time this week- either to catch up on the Mafia/werewolf game that we didn't have on Sunday, or perhaps some other game. Some of you may have encountered [[That Game]]... which is as always being updated and altered. If you missed out on the first round, or want to play again (or simply want a chance to watch JP dissolving in laughter) then come along.
As for Time/Place... Ummm... I feel like Thursday evening might be good, perhaps upstairs lower common room... but if other times/day/place suggested then that's good too.

==Bandelier Field Trip==

We're taking a trip to [http://www.nps.gov/band/index.htm Bandelier National Monument] on Saturday June 8th. Please visit the [[Bandelier 2013 | Bandelier Field Trip]] Page to sign up!

==More Hiking!==

Check the [[Complex Systems Summer School 2013-Hiking]] page to see current plans!

Didn't get enough hiking at Bandelier? Come hiking/camping with me! I plan on going on a long hike (all day, preferably 10+ miles) one of the next two weekends. I brought things for camping and would love to do that if there is interest and it is possible to rent tents/sleeping bags in town (or if people want to just sleep outside, also fun). If that is not really possible or people would rather just go for a single day that is great as well. I am open to a lot of different things, there is so much great hiking around Santa Fe!

Some suggestions:
* [http://www.backpacker.com/april_1999_destinations_new_mexico_pecos_wilderness/destinations/696 Pecos Wilderness] - just outside of Santa Fe, lots of trails!
* [http://www.summitpost.org/wheeler-peak-nm/150429 Wheeler Peak] - tallest mountain in New Mexico, outside of Taos (would require either camping at the base or waking up very early to do it the day of)
** Near Taos we can find these [https://www.google.com/maps/preview#!data=!4m18!3m17!1m1!1sSanta+Fe+Institute%2C+1399+Hyde+Park+Road%2C+Santa+Fe%2C+New+Mexico!1m5!1sManby+Hot+Springs!2s0x87177428acfba0e5%3A0x69769a1d19abcbff!3m2!3d36.5083168!4d-105.7242545!3m8!1m3!1d10957!2d-105.7242545!3d36.5083162!3m2!1i1366!2i656!4f13.1&fid=0 hotsprings]!!!!!!!
* [http://www.fodors.com/world/north-america/usa/new-mexico/taos/review-465844.html Carson National Forest] - North of Santa Fe, another beautiful forest, lots of different entrance locations

I am up for any other suggestions if people have heard of trails they want to go on. Depending on how the fires progress we may or may not be limited, but should be able to do something! Send me an email if you are interested and we can talk logistics (bstoll1234@gmail.com) [[Brady_Stoll|Brady]]

I would love to go! I had a hike in mind too--Tesuque Peak, which is just by the ski area and is 12 miles, but I am up for any of them! -Lauren (lash1937@gmail.com)

I'm interested! -Hua (caih@umich.edu)

I'm defintley interested - Wheeler Peak sounds very interesting (I have to get camping stuff though)! - johannes (johannes dot schmidt at boku dot ac dot at)

If we did Wheeler Peak, I am highly in favor of the longer class 1 route. The shorter class 2 route has a scree slope at the end, and I really dislike scree (it scares me). If we camped at the trailhead, I have a 3 person tent that we could use. --Lauren

If you'd like a similar experience to Wheeler Peak, but a lot closer, I recommend Santa Fe Baldy (12600'). Well above treeline, with fantastic vistas in all directions. The trailhead is only about 20 minutes away at the Santa Fe Ski Basin. The roundtrip hike is about 14 miles, making it a reasonable day hike. As always with any mountain around here, you need to be off the exposed sections by about 2PM because of the danger from thunderstorms! --John L

More hiking would rock!(Although I'm not sure about optimal length...) --Todd

==Music on the Hill==

St. John's hosts [http://www.stjohnscollege.edu/events/SF/music.shtml live music] on the soccer field this Wednesday (June 12) as well as next Wednesday (June 19) and the Wednesday after (June 26). Performances start around 6:00 PM. It looks like all of the performers will be doing jazz. I really hope to make the June 19 performance, as this will be big band, which is (usually) great for dancing. Any other swing dancers in our group? --[[Vanessa_Schweizer | Vanessa]]

* sounds fun to me! -- Hua
* I'm definitely interested! --Molly
* Sounds fun to me as welll! --Brady
* Sounds fun! --Jody

==Mafia/Werewolf==
[[JP]] LOVES to Play [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mafia_(party_game) Mafia/Werewolf]. Let's set up a time one of these evenings in the lower commons...

This sounds pretty cool. [[todd_bodnar | Todd]]

I like Mafia a lot, and I also brought a card game called [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fluxx Fluxx], and also know a few other games you can play with just paper and pencil (like [http://natsdistractions.wordpress.com/2009/12/13/great-party-game/ Bucket of Nouns]). I think a game night would be fun! --Molly

I would love to play Go if anyone is interested. --John D -- Count me in!! -- [[Luís_Seoane | Luíño]]

We should probably set a time/day/place if we actually want this to happen... I suggest 7:00am on sunday, with the lower common room thing, unless something else is happening then.

I like the game! Count me in! -- Hua

==Dance party==

Would anyone be interested in some sort of clubbing/dance party some time this month? And to be clear I don't mean going down to a bar to sit round drinking beers- that can be fun too, but I'm meaning something more music/dance focused.
If so,

What bars/clubs do people know of the might work? what music do they provide?

What music are people interested in? Remember, music that is good to listen to is not always good for dancing (and to be fair, there's plenty of music which is fun to dance to, but might not actually be "good")

Also, didn't someone mention some degree of DJing or music abilities? I can't remember, but if so, we could try to get our hands on the light rigs in the lecture hall and just make our own dance part from scratch...

*Our own dance party from scratch sounds fun to me. --[[Vanessa_Schweizer | Vanessa]]

So, some investigation indicates that hosting a large scale party at St Johns could be fairly impossible. She suggested hiring a venue in town... but I figure if that's the case we might as well just head down there and take it over by force of numbers.

*There is a CSSS "Dance with Breadloaf workshop" scheduled for June 22 starting at 8:00 PM. Is this an actual dance, or is this a complexity science thing??? --[[Vanessa_Schweizer | Vanessa]]

==Mountain Biking==

I would like to go mountain biking on sunday (9th of June). Anybody interested in joining me? We can rent a bike in the city for either 30$ (hard tail) or 60$(fully), helmets are 4$ extra. For those who are interested: please put your name and your height (needed for bike reservation) here until Thursday evening, I'm going to reserve the bikes then. [[Johannes_Schmidt]]

==Athletic Things==

I've heard lots of people talking about running/walking etc, and at dinner last night we mentioned that it would be fun to have a running group. Anyone interested in having a running/walking group either in the mornings or evenings? Post interest here!

I'm interested in a (quick) '''walking group''' in the mornings. It's great to exercise a bit in this nice weather and be able to talk at the same time. [[Regina_Martinez |Regina]]
*I would also be up for quick walking - whether we mean walking briskly or walking for 20-30 min. --[[Vanessa_Schweizer | Vanessa]]

Also, I love ultimate frisbee! Anyone interested in either learning or playing a game perhaps sunday or after dinner one day next week? Let me know! [[Brady_Stoll|Brady]]
*Ultimate would be fun, although I had a pretty bad knee injury years ago and haven't done that much running since then. I could see how long I would last. --[[Vanessa_Schweizer | Vanessa]]
*That's fine, anything would be fun, even just throwing/teaching people to throw! -Brady
* Down to play. Anything planned for today? - Bapu
* I don't have any specific plans today, but would love to either throw or teach if you're interested before the sun goes down. Play for sure tomorrow? Lets say tomorrow after dinner for those interested
*'''Lets play frisbee today! (Wed) Meet after dinner and we'll walk over to the fields, or meet us there!'''

Or basketball? Anybody want to play a pickup game?
-I would play a pick up game -Brady

==Yoga==

Anyone interested in '''yoga tomorrow (Sunday 9th) at 7pm?''' Some of us are going to [[http://www.santafecommunityyoga.org/index.php/classes2/schedule]]. We are meeting at 6:30pm. There is only one more space in Lauren's car. But, if there are more people interested, we can try to find a solution for the commute. [[Regina_Martinez | Regina]]

Hi Regina - I would be interested in joining you for yoga if there is still space. Please email me at [[jjwright49@me.com]] and let me know. Thanks! - [[Jody_Wright | Jody]]

Anyone want to go to yoga tomorrow (Tuesday the 11th) evening? We were thinking of going to Hatha yoga at 5:30, so leaving campus at 5:00. We'll go to dinner afterwards too. Send me an email (lash1937@gmail.com) if interested. [[Lauren_Shoemaker | Lauren]]

==Sightseeing Weekend==

Anyone interested in going on a weekend road trip? This could be more of an 'easy going' option to the hiking trip proposed above. I was thinking of maybe driving up to Taos and doing some whitewater rafting and general sightseeing. Let me know if you are interested or have any other ideas. I don't have a car but am able to drive...

- [[Ivana_Stankov | Ivana]]

==THERE IS A FOURTH WEEKEND!!==

If you, like me, believe that CSSS lives on after Saturday 29...

If you, like me, are hanging around because you can't leave this sacred piece of ground anymore...

If you, like me, believe this month is only the beginning of a life that wasn't before...

Then you believe on the forth weekend!! I know many of you will stay a few days after CSSS is over and it would be nice to organize ourselves soon. So, if we choose to go somewhere, say taking a flight, we could get cheaper prices, etc! Also we will be needing shelter after the 29th. This might be an urgent thing ;) Let's use this to organize ourselves! I post some ideas below that I've heard around these days. -- [[Luís_Seoane | Luíño]]

Unfolding History

2013-06-13T00:39:27Z

Omodei: /* Literature */

Trying to give new impulse to this project: let us use this site to share info and tools!

==Brainstorming==

Some of the ideas that have been buzzing around:
*Make an agent based model.
*Take empirical data from the wikipedia.
*Agents biasing History.
**Do conflicts in a country reflect on their account of History?
*External vs. internal history: the cost of inner encoding vs. relying on the environment to encode important traits.

Please, post those missing!!

==Scripts==

It is very easy and fast to parse files with python. [https://www.dropbox.com/sh/my8s4yhh7rqyobc/GcdhVSRiUk This] links to a dropbox folder containing a few sample data manually cropped from the wikipedia and three python scripts to parse the data.

[[File:EditsChipre.png|661px]]

==Tools==

The wikipedia has got a [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Statistics large collection of tools] to extract statistics from the site. After a loose search, nothing was found that resembles what I (Luíño) had in mind. There are very interesting models and fits to data, though, of how an article grows in time or how much this or that user affects a wiki. If we wanted to do something with the wikipedia eventually, we should check out that what we need is has not already been invented. Someone up to navigate through these tools and tells us about them?

==Literature==

The following more or less related papers have been posted to the project by different colleagues:

Surely more people has approached the problem of History formation from a Complex Systems approach. It would be interesting to go over the literature and maybe find some insight. Someone would like to do that? Elisa

==June 21 Madrid to see Juniper's Brother's band and to dance with hippies==

My brother's band [http://www.reverbnation.com/toddandthefox Todd and the Fox] is playing at the Mine Shaft in Madrid on June 21. Madrid is a ridiculous hippy town and has some of the best people watching there is. To boot, my brother's band is awesome and we can dance and have a great time http://www.reverbnation.com/show/10280700 --Juniper

Thumbs up!! -- [[Luís_Seoane | Luíño]]

Sounds great to me!! -- [[Jody_Wright | Jody]]

==More Games!==

So... I was thinking it might be fun to have a second games night some time this week- either to catch up on the Mafia/werewolf game that we didn't have on Sunday, or perhaps some other game. Some of you may have encountered [[That Game]]... which is as always being updated and altered. If you missed out on the first round, or want to play again (or simply want a chance to watch JP dissolving in laughter) then come along.
As for Time/Place... Ummm... I feel like Thursday evening might be good, perhaps upstairs lower common room... but if other times/day/place suggested then that's good too.

==Bandelier Field Trip==

We're taking a trip to [http://www.nps.gov/band/index.htm Bandelier National Monument] on Saturday June 8th. Please visit the [[Bandelier 2013 | Bandelier Field Trip]] Page to sign up!

==More Hiking!==

Didn't get enough hiking at Bandelier? Come hiking/camping with me! I plan on going on a long hike (all day, preferably 10+ miles) one of the next two weekends. I brought things for camping and would love to do that if there is interest and it is possible to rent tents/sleeping bags in town (or if people want to just sleep outside, also fun). If that is not really possible or people would rather just go for a single day that is great as well. I am open to a lot of different things, there is so much great hiking around Santa Fe!

Some suggestions:
* [http://www.backpacker.com/april_1999_destinations_new_mexico_pecos_wilderness/destinations/696 Pecos Wilderness] - just outside of Santa Fe, lots of trails!
* [http://www.summitpost.org/wheeler-peak-nm/150429 Wheeler Peak] - tallest mountain in New Mexico, outside of Taos (would require either camping at the base or waking up very early to do it the day of)
* [http://www.fodors.com/world/north-america/usa/new-mexico/taos/review-465844.html Carson National Forest] - North of Santa Fe, another beautiful forest, lots of different entrance locations

I am up for any other suggestions if people have heard of trails they want to go on. Depending on how the fires progress we may or may not be limited, but should be able to do something! Send me an email if you are interested and we can talk logistics (bstoll1234@gmail.com) [[Brady_Stoll|Brady]]

I would love to go! I had a hike in mind too--Tesuque Peak, which is just by the ski area and is 12 miles, but I am up for any of them! -Lauren (lash1937@gmail.com)

I'm interested! -Hua (caih@umich.edu)

I'm defintley interested - Wheeler Peak sounds very interesting (I have to get camping stuff though)! - johannes (johannes dot schmidt at boku dot ac dot at)

If we did Wheeler Peak, I am highly in favor of the longer class 1 route. The shorter class 2 route has a scree slope at the end, and I really dislike scree (it scares me). If we camped at the trailhead, I have a 3 person tent that we could use. --Lauren

If you'd like a similar experience to Wheeler Peak, but a lot closer, I recommend Santa Fe Baldy (12600'). Well above treeline, with fantastic vistas in all directions. The trailhead is only about 20 minutes away at the Santa Fe Ski Basin. The roundtrip hike is about 14 miles, making it a reasonable day hike. As always with any mountain around here, you need to be off the exposed sections by about 2PM because of the danger from thunderstorms! --John L

==Music on the Hill==

St. John's hosts [http://www.stjohnscollege.edu/events/SF/music.shtml live music] on the soccer field this Wednesday (June 12) as well as next Wednesday (June 19) and the Wednesday after (June 26). Performances start around 6:00 PM. It looks like all of the performers will be doing jazz. I really hope to make the June 19 performance, as this will be big band, which is (usually) great for dancing. Any other swing dancers in our group? --[[Vanessa_Schweizer | Vanessa]]

* sounds fun to me! -- Hua
* I'm definitely interested! --Molly
* Sounds fun to me as welll! --Brady
* Sounds fun! --Jody

==Mafia/Werewolf==
[[JP]] LOVES to Play [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mafia_(party_game) Mafia/Werewolf]. Let's set up a time one of these evenings in the lower commons...

This sounds pretty cool. [[todd_bodnar | Todd]]

I like Mafia a lot, and I also brought a card game called [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fluxx Fluxx], and also know a few other games you can play with just paper and pencil (like [http://natsdistractions.wordpress.com/2009/12/13/great-party-game/ Bucket of Nouns]). I think a game night would be fun! --Molly

I would love to play Go if anyone is interested. --John D -- Count me in!! -- [[Luís_Seoane | Luíño]]

We should probably set a time/day/place if we actually want this to happen... I suggest 7:00am on sunday, with the lower common room thing, unless something else is happening then.

I like the game! Count me in! -- Hua

==Dance party==

Would anyone be interested in some sort of clubbing/dance party some time this month? And to be clear I don't mean going down to a bar to sit round drinking beers- that can be fun too, but I'm meaning something more music/dance focused.
If so,

What bars/clubs do people know of the might work? what music do they provide?

What music are people interested in? Remember, music that is good to listen to is not always good for dancing (and to be fair, there's plenty of music which is fun to dance to, but might not actually be "good")

Also, didn't someone mention some degree of DJing or music abilities? I can't remember, but if so, we could try to get our hands on the light rigs in the lecture hall and just make our own dance part from scratch...

*Our own dance party from scratch sounds fun to me. --[[Vanessa_Schweizer | Vanessa]]

So, some investigation indicates that hosting a large scale party at St Johns could be fairly impossible. She suggested hiring a venue in town... but I figure if that's the case we might as well just head down there and take it over by force of numbers.

==Mountain Biking==

I would like to go mountain biking on sunday (9th of June). Anybody interested in joining me? We can rent a bike in the city for either 30$ (hard tail) or 60$(fully), helmets are 4$ extra. For those who are interested: please put your name and your height (needed for bike reservation) here until Thursday evening, I'm going to reserve the bikes then. [[Johannes_Schmidt]]

==Athletic Things==

I've heard lots of people talking about running/walking etc, and at dinner last night we mentioned that it would be fun to have a running group. Anyone interested in having a running/walking group either in the mornings or evenings? Post interest here!

I'm interested in a (quick) '''walking group''' in the mornings. It's great to exercise a bit in this nice weather and be able to talk at the same time. [[Regina_Martinez |Regina]]
*I would also be up for quick walking - whether we mean walking briskly or walking for 20-30 min. --[[Vanessa_Schweizer | Vanessa]]

Also, I love ultimate frisbee! Anyone interested in either learning or playing a game perhaps sunday or after dinner one day next week? Let me know! [[Brady_Stoll|Brady]]
*Ultimate would be fun, although I had a pretty bad knee injury years ago and haven't done that much running since then. I could see how long I would last. --[[Vanessa_Schweizer | Vanessa]]
*That's fine, anything would be fun, even just throwing/teaching people to throw! -Brady
* Down to play. Anything planned for today? - Bapu
* I don't have any specific plans today, but would love to either throw or teach if you're interested before the sun goes down. Play for sure tomorrow? Lets say tomorrow after dinner for those interested

Or basketball? Anybody want to play a pickup game?
-I would play a pick up game -Brady

==Yoga==

Anyone interested in '''yoga tomorrow (Sunday 9th) at 7pm?''' Some of us are going to [[http://www.santafecommunityyoga.org/index.php/classes2/schedule]]. We are meeting at 6:30pm. There is only one more space in Lauren's car. But, if there are more people interested, we can try to find a solution for the commute. [[Regina_Martinez | Regina]]

Hi Regina - I would be interested in joining you for yoga if there is still space. Please email me at [[jjwright49@me.com]] and let me know. Thanks! - [[Jody_Wright | Jody]]

Anyone want to go to yoga tomorrow (Tuesday the 11th) evening? We were thinking of going to Hatha yoga at 5:30, so leaving campus at 5:00. We'll go to dinner afterwards too. Send me an email (lash1937@gmail.com) if interested. [[Lauren_Shoemaker | Lauren]]

==Sightseeing Weekend==

Anyone interested in going on a weekend road trip? This could be more of an 'easy going' option to the hiking trip proposed above. I was thinking of maybe driving up to Taos and doing some whitewater rafting and general sightseeing. Let me know if you are interested or have any other ideas. I don't have a car but am able to drive...

- [[Ivana_Stankov | Ivana]]

==THERE IS A FOURTH WEEKEND!!==

If you, like me, believe that CSSS lives on after Saturday 29...

If you, like me, are hanging around because you can't leave this sacred piece of ground anymore...

If you, like me, believe this month is only the beginning of a life that wasn't before...

Then you believe on the forth weekend!! I know many of you will stay a few days after CSSS is over and it would be nice to organize ourselves soon. So, if we choose to go somewhere, say taking a flight, we could get cheaper prices, etc! Also we will be needing shelter after the 29th. This might be an urgent thing ;) Let's use this to organize ourselves! I post some ideas below that I've heard around these days. -- [[Luís_Seoane | Luíño]]

*Trip to the Gran Canyon?
*Camping in some national park?
*Trip to San Francisco?
*Trip to Las Vegas where we make up random couples and get married :?

Omodei: /* To Do */

Below are my initial impressions about the project. These are just a sketch, and open to change!

==Useful Tools==

The Enthought Scientific Python package is [https://www.enthought.com/products/canopy/ here].

One of the key texts in theoretical / computational neuroscience is Dayan and Abbott's [http://www.amazon.com/Theoretical-Neuroscience-Computational-Mathematical-Modeling/dp/0262541858 Theoretical Neuroscience].

==To Do==

Put your email here, or if you'd rather not have your email address online, email me at ddarmon at math dot umd dot edu and I'll put together a mailing list. I'll email out a Dropbox link with some preliminary code and some sample data.

Elisa elisa.omodei@gmail.com

Read Aram et al.'s [http://arxiv.org/pdf/1110.2724v1.pdf paper].

Play around with the code in the Dropbox folder, especially generate_poisson.py. This script generates samples from an inhomogeneous Poisson process.

==Basic (Toy) Model==

Throughout, I'll use the word 'spike' interchangeably with 'tweet.'

The basic skeleton is based off of the [http://arxiv.org/pdf/1110.2724v1.pdf paper] by Aram et al. We consider a network of users which we'll model as a graph with a vertex for each user and an edge denoting a connection between each user. For Twitter data, these edges might indicate follower/followee relationships. Directedness of these edges is an open question. This gives us the basic structural model.

The dynamics occurring on top of this network will take the form of coupled inhomogeneous Poisson processes. That is, each vertex will have a [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Poisson_process Poisson process] on top of it, and the rate of the process will depend on the behavior of the other nodes connected to it. An inhomogeneous Poisson process model is a common (though very rough) approximation of neural behavior. It captures the notion of 'completely random.'

Aram's model sets the instantaneous rate of each user to be a (constant) base rate, plus terms that depend on the behavior of the neighbors of a given user (if a neighbor has recently tweeted, and the user is dynamically connected to that user, they are more likely to tweet). The constant base rate is open to change.

==Community Detection==

A standard approach to finding communities within a network is to look at the network structure alone. We attempt to partition the nodes in the network such that there are many more edges within a community than between communities. A popular method for doing this is the [http://www.ece.unm.edu/ifis/papers/community-moore.pdf fast-greedy algorithm] developed by Clauset, Newman, and Moore.

[http://arxiv.org/pdf/cond-mat/0404652.pdf Another algorithm] developed by some colleagues from Granada.

==Toy Network==

One of our first tasks is to design a reasonable (small) network to run the toy model on top of. This network should presumably have apparent community structure, and then we can design on top of this a weighted network that incorporates the notion of dynamical community. These weights would essentially correspond to the weights in Equation 4 of Aram et al.' paper. One option for designing realistic network structure is to use a small network within the Twitter network I have available.
