Enjoy. April Results: We had 22 submissions for the April caption contest that featured a cartoon showing a large number of people being washed away on a rapid stream while helicopters worked to rescue some of them. The winning caption for the cartoon was “With only a limited number of helicopters, search and rescue had to randomly sample from a ‘pool’ of subjects,” written by Mickey Dunlap from University of Georgia. The caption was chosen for it’s clever pun and ability to begin a discussion on the importance of efficiency in sampling. A number of honorable mentions were also well received by the judges including: “Better to ask for help BEFORE you're drowning in data!,” written by Larry Lesser from University of Texas at El Paso; “I guess I should have asked for more details before signing up for this "Streaming Data" workshop,” written by Chris Lacke from Rowan University; “and “On reflection, random sampling WITH replacement might not have been appropriate in this scenario,” written by Aaron Profitt from God’s Bible School and College. Thanks to everyone who submitted a caption and congratulations to our Winners!
