	BERKLEE \| Berklee News \| Playing Ray
		Sobel, a Hollywood film music veteran who graduated from Berklee in 1978 with a diploma in composition and arranging, traveled from his home in Los Angeles for a two-day residency in late January hosted by the Film Scoring Department and its chair, Don Wilkins.
		Sobel used a digital video camera to chronicle numerous meetings between Charles and Foxx and burned them to DVD for the actor to study.
		Sobel said that Ray offered to rerecord any of his catalog for the film, but Hackford wanted to use the original mono and stereo recordings that the audience knew and loved.

	Feature Detectors - Sobel Edge Detector
		Sobel operator performs a 2-D spatial gradient measurement on an image and so emphasizes regions of high spatial frequency that correspond to edges.
		The Sobel operator is slower to compute than the Roberts Cross operator, but its larger convolution kernel smooths the input image to a greater extent and so makes the operator less sensitive to noise.
		Although the Sobel operator is not as sensitive to noise as the Roberts Cross operator, it still amplifies high frequencies.

	The long(itude) and short of Dava Sobel - Books - Entertainment - theage.com.au
		Sobel spent the next 10 years working as a freelance writer, working for whoever would have her, languishing on the women's pages, detouring into technical writing, holing up at Cornell where she worked in the university's news bureau.
		Sobel later translated a selection of these letters, donating the proceeds to an abbess she became close to in writing Galileo's Daughter.
		Sobel has begun her latest project, only it's not a book but a play based on Owen Gingerich's The Book Nobody Read, which chronicles the author's three-decade search for all the existing copies of Copernicus' De Revolutionibus, which placed the sun at the centre of the solar system.

	"Galileo's Daughter" by Dava Sobel - Salon
		It's built on Sobel's translation (the first into English) of 124 letters written to Galileo Galilei, the Renaissance Italian philosopher, mathematician and physicist, by his illegitimate daughter Virginia.
		But Sobel, author of the 1995 bestseller "Longitude," showing once again her keen eye for the compelling stories that simmer beneath great discoveries, turns this seemingly meager material into genuine historical drama.
		Sobel imbues this potentially dry, academic story with the language and cadence of oral storytelling, and she gives it all the dramatic suspense that narrative demands.

	UC Berkeley senior Deana Sobel competes for comic-strip glory
		Sobel is up against nine other cartoonists from public universities — four of them from Arizona schools — all with strips that, like Sobel's "Roomies," deal with the vagaries of college life.
		Sobel started "Roomies," the comic strip entered in the mtvU contest, this semester for the Daily Cal. It's directly based on life at a seven-person group house in North Berkeley that she has lived in since sophomore year.
		Sobel's current plan is to move to New York in January, following graduation, and try to work for national magazines and newspapers there as an editorial cartoonist and illustrator.

	Interview: Andrew Sobel on the State of Client Relationships
		Sobel: Each year, I interview quite a handful of C-level executives in corporations on this topic, and I would say that most of them are very interested in long-term relationships because they understand the potential benefits.
		Sobel: As I said, the typical corporate executive today is under relentless pressure to do more for less, and we consultants have to understand this.
		Sobel: I think there’s an opportunity for firms and individual consultants to take a fresh look at the total client experience—the end-to-end experience that a client has working with you, how it feels, and what the client remembers about that experience.

	Edge Detection Tutorial
		The Sobel edge detector uses a pair of 3x3 convolution masks, one estimating the gradient in the x-direction (columns) and the other estimating the gradient in the y-direction (rows).
		The 5x5 Laplacian used is a convoluted mask to approximate the second derivative, unlike the Sobel method which approximates the gradient.
		And instead of 2 3x3 Sobel masks, one for the x and y direction, Laplace uses 1 5x5 mask for the 2nd derivative in both the x and y directions.

	Powell's Books - The Planets by Dava Sobel
		Sobel explores the planets' origins and oddities through the lens of popular culture, from astrology, mythology, and science fiction to art, music, poetry, biography, and history.
		An essay that begins with the story of Sobel's grandmother coming to the United States as an immigrant, for example, sets up the author's musings on the odd nature of Pluto as somewhere in between 'planet' and 'other.' This resonant and eclectic collection — informative, entertaining and poetic — is a joy to read.
		Unfortunately, this is just sort of ill-conceived; Sobel makes use of some annoying conceits to impart information (the most annoying being the chapter on Mars, which is told from the viewpoint of a meteorite!) and really doesn't go in-depth at all.

	Haber's Art Reviews: Janet Sobel
		Sobel works mostly in oil, but she has a fondness for mixing in sand, and crucial drip paintings from 1946 use enamel.

	Review of Logic and Theism
		Sobel finds that although it is possible to define the given terms in intelligible ways, none of those ways correspond to what most theists would like for their concept of God.
		Sobel assumes the voluntarist outlook that it makes sense to speak literally of "choosing to believe or not to believe." I myself have strong misgivings about such an outlook.
		That is a point made by J. Mackie, and even agreed to by Sobel at the end of his chapter 1, yet Sobel appeals to the defective definitions anyway.

	Sobel
		Sobel ties belief in magic to the settler’s Christianity, with parishes “blessing trees and and physical locations with magical prayers (75).
		Sobel’s discussion of space extends to the architecture and physical layout of Virginia communities, finding African influence in the design of housing and arrangement villages.
		Causality for Sobel clearly refers primarily to religious belief, and it is this subject that perhaps provides the clearest “proof” of Sobel’s overall thesis.

		Sobel's purpose in this lovely and personal volume is to show us the planets as she sees them.
		Sobel gives an overview of basic facts and trivia about the Sun, while beginning and ending with invocations of creation and drawing a few parallels between the scientific and religious stories.
		But the greatest gift Sobel grants the reader is a small piece of her enthusiasm; The Planets makes you want to, if not become an astronomer, at least do more reading on the subject.

		We should note that there are three principal versions of the "Sobel test" - one that adds the third denominator term (Aroian, 1944/1947 - this is the version popularized by Baron & Kenny as the Sobel test), one that subtracts it (Goodman, 1960), and one that does not include it at all.
		The Sobel test equation omits the third term of the variance estimate in the denominator.
