CONTINUATIONS Febmaiy 27,20§8 Abroad cont. from pg. 1 works with new program proposals. She also lends her leadership to the UK program. Amanda Beasley is a Meredith graduate and a International Programs Advisor. During her time at Meredith, she participated in the UK/ Italy/Switzerland pro gram and the Borderlinks program between Tucson, Arizona and Nogales, Mexico. She also spent a year in New Zealand following graduation. However, one experience in par ticular impacted her: "I am still affected today by what I saw and did [in the Borderhnks] pro gram. The dynamics of the US/Mexico border, its politics, religion, economy and language were so unlike anything I had ever experienced before or since that time. It made me ques tion (and continues to make me question) what type of person I want to be and how I can posi tively impact the world." Among other responsibil ities, she advises students about study abroad, assists the returning stu dents to readjust in the US and helps internation al students in any way possible.

Star Tech Chelsea McGIaughlin Staff Writer With 8.1 Megapixels, 3x zoom and a generous 3" LCD screen, Nikon Coolpix S51c sounds like a nice, albeit not unique digital camera. What makes it unique is its built-in wireless email and storage capability. This means users can upload their pictures to an online photo-sharing site with the touch of a button as long as the camera is in range of a Wi-Fi hotspot. The feature, called Picturetown, with Wireless email and stor age, also allows users to email their photos to friends and family seconds after they were taken. I imagine this fea ture would be handy for travelers or beach-goers who don't have access to a computer while out of town but who still want to send photographic updates along the way. The feature eliminates the worry of running out of memory card space— users can simply upload the photos, delete them from the memory, card and get ready for more photo ops. Features like Image Stabilization (helps to avoid blurry pictures). Auto ISO Adjustment (allows low-light shoot ing) and Pictmotion (creates on-camera slide shows, complete with music) are also useful and cool. The camera comes in two color choices—sil ver or black—and costs less than $200. At under four inches in length and weighing only 4.4 ounces (without batteries and memory card), it's slim enough to slip comfort ably into a pocket or purse. Nikon Coolpix S51c ranks number two. on Time Magazine's Top 10 Gadgets of 2007, coming after only the awe-inspir ing iPhone. I presume the camera's innovative wireless features secured its spot among the gad- getry of 2007.
