There are those funny-looking red and blue glasses. There are the
books full of images that become three-dimensional if looked at cross
eyed. And don’t forget the View Master, the circa 1980s toy that
allowed children to view slides of their favorite cartoon characters.
They all exist due to the magic of stereoscopy (the act of seeing
something in 3-D), which requires that a left-eye view and a right-eye
view of an object be perceived from different angles.
Stereoscopy.com explains the science behind the apparent magic
and even teaches visitors how to make their own stereoscopic images.
The comprehensive Web site has links to other sites, a frequently-
asked questions page, gallery and downloads. It gives recommenda
tions on the best cameras to use when creating these special images
and includes a forum to discuss stereoscopy with others interested in
the art.
The site is updated regularly and is associated with others in the
field of stereoscopy. The only downside to the site is that most links
on the main page open a new browser window, and visitors may
become frustrated.
Nonetheless, the site is fascinating. It’s a place to leam a little bit
about science and.art at the same time.

drive.co.uk is the place to turn.
Through his commentary, Wragg lists drivers who heconsii*
to be “useless drivers.” Wragg also keeps a driving diary and
gallery, where he places stories and images of bad drivers he
encounters. Youcantdrive.co.uk is meant to be entertaining and
bring a little levity to the frustrations that driving often causes,
However, the site does not encourage others to instigate drivins
problems and contains a disclaimer which states that roadragei
not endorsed.
Although youcantdrive.co.uk allows visitors to share theii
own driving experiences at the site’s discussion forum, the silt
has not been updated in almost a year. However, humor is tin;
less, as are bad drivers. It’s a fun site to get a chuckle or two,

With thousands on the highway at any given time, it’s
inevitable that anyone with a driver license has either experi
enced bad drivers or has unintentionally been one.

Robinson to be nominated
for Congressional Gold Medal
BOSTON (AP) — Jackie Robinson will be
nominated for the Congressional Gold
Medal in recognition of his achievements as
the first black player in Major League
Baseball, the Boston Red Sox said.
The announcement that the nomination
will be filed this week in Congress came at
a symposium Friday on what would have
been Robinson's 84th birthday.
The Red Sox, the last big league team to
integrate, gave Robinson a tryout but chose
not to sign him. Robinson went on to break
baseball's color barrier with the Brooklyn
Dodgers in 1947.
"Jackie Robinson was more than a sports
hero, he was an American hero. He tran
scended sports and helped transform the
battle for civil rights," said Sen. John F. Kerry,
D-Mass., a co-sponsor of the nomination.
"While we celebrate his birthday it is only
appropriate that we honor this man who
did so much to make our nation a better
place to live for all our citizens."
Robinson, who died in 1972, was induct
ed into the Baseball Hall of Fame in 1962.
In 1997, baseball celebrated the 50th
anniversary of his rookie season by retiring
his No. 42 on all teams.
Since 1776, there have been approximate
ly 300 recipients of Congressional Gold
PEOPLE IN THE NEWS
Medals, including George Washington, Joe
Louis, Robert Frost, and Mother Teresa.
judge eases comedian
Poundstone's probation terms
SANTA MONICA, Calif. (AP) - A judge has
eased terms of probation for comedian
Paula Poundstone, who in December
regained full custody of three adopted chil
dren she lost after pleading no contest to
child endangerment.
Superior Court Judge
Bernard Kamins reduced
Poundstone's psychologi
cal counseling sessions
from four to two a month
and her Alcoholics
Anonymous meetings
from three to two a week.
"Everything went really
well," said Rich Pfeiffer,
Poundstone's attorney.
Poundstone, 43, pleaded no contest in
September 2001 to one felony count of child
endangerment and misdemeanor infliction of
injury on a child. The endangerment charge
involved driving drunk with children in her car.
Poundstone was sentenced to 180 days at
a drug and alcohol rehabilitation center, plus
five years of probation.
Her children, ages 4 to 11, were placed with
a court-approved foster parent, a friend of the
POUNDSTONE
comedian. Poundstone was allowed
monitored visits.
