Master of Fine Arts in Visual Arts graduates to showcase their artwork in exhibition at The Art Institute of Boston at Lesley Galleries, January 7-12
Monday, December 17, 2012
The exhibition features painting, photography, sculpture, video, installation and more. The exhibition charts the many ways contemporary artists engage with the transforming landscape of the world today.
Seventeen graduates will display their artwork in two different locations: the Main Gallery at The Art Institute of Boston at Lesley University, 700 Beacon Street, Boston; and at AIB's University Hall Gallery, 1815 Massachusetts Avenue, Cambridge.
The January 2013 graduates, who represent the program's seventeenth graduating class, are: Casey Arbor, Nina Ata, Seth Boggs, Mary Crenshaw, Noelle Fiori, Jennifer Harriman, Flannon Jackson, Rita Koehler, Ya La'ford, Julie Lindell, Jennifer Longworth, Mandy Mahaffey, Jenna Powell, Shawn Saumell, Kristin Selesnick, Leigh Yardley, and MollyYergens.
The Master of Fine Arts (MFA) in Visual Arts is a low-residency program that attracts students from all over the country as well as internationally who want to earn a master's degree without relocating, giving up their day jobs, or taking classes online.
The residencies are intense – students spend ten days on campus each semester with fellow students and faculty advisors, who are working practitioners in the field. The students then return home to create their artwork, meet with their local mentors, and continue their dialogue with Faculty Advisors at The Art Institute of Boston.
"The interdisciplinary focus of the MFA program encourages the students to explore the integration of a variety of visual art media, while simultaneously encouraging the refinement of each artist's individual vision," says Judith Barry, director of the MFA program in Visual Arts.
Friday, January 11, from 8 to 9:30 p.m. at AIB's University Hall Gallery, 1815 Massachusetts Avenue, Cambridge.
Artists: Casey Arbor, Seth Boggs, Noelle Fiori, Jennifer Harriman, Flannon Jackson, Rita Koehler, Kristin Selesnick, and Leigh Yardley
Saturday, January 12, from 8 to 10 p.m. at AIB Main Gallery, 700 Beacon Street, Boston, near Kenmore Square.
Artists: Nina Ata, Mary Crenshaw,Ya La'ford, Julie Lindell, Jennifer E. Longworth, Mandy Mahaffey, Jenna Powell, Shawn Saumell, and Molly Yergens
All are invited to join in a celebratory toast to the entire graduating class at 8 p.m., at the start of the reception on Saturday, June 30 in Room 215 at 700 Beacon Street.
The AIB Main Gallery, 700 Beacon Street, Boston, is open Monday to Saturday, 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. For information, please call 617.585.6600.
The University Hall Gallery, 1815 Massachusetts Avenue, Cambridge, is open Monday to Friday 12 to 6 p.m., and Saturday 12 to 5 p.m. Gallery hours are subject to change; please call ahead: 617.585.6600.

Running off at the typewriter …
Shamefully, almost to a man, Magic players say they haven't played with enough "energy" in their playoff series against the Indiana Pacers. Did I miss something here? Are these guys 80-year-old senior citizens puttering into the local bingo hall or 26-year-old basketball players who make $5 million a year to perform in the NBA postseason?
Good grief, how can they not be energized? Memo to the Magic millionaires: Chug a liter of Red Bull if you have to; crack open a 5-hour Energy; stop at Starbucks on your way to the game for a triple shot Espresso Macchiato; do whatever it takes to come out with some the "energy" in Game 4 today.
For a group of NBA players to admit they aren't playing as hard as the other team is not only inexplicable; it's inexcusable.
As our old friend Jerry Greene said on the radio Friday: "Maybe Magic owner Rich DeVos should tell his players he doesn't have the energy to sign their paychecks."
Short stuff: Congratulations to Ryan Anderson for being named the NBA's MIP (Most Improved Player) on Friday. Now if he can just figure out a way to stop being the NBA's MIA during the playoffs. Ryno has gone from Most Improved Player during the regular season to Most Invisible Player during the postseason. … Coming soon: Orange County Mayor Teresa Jacobs puts renovation of Mystery Funhouse, Medieval Times and Mr. Toad's Wild Ride ahead of the Citrus Bowl refurbishing project. … In honor of the Kentucky Derby, I asked Twitter followers (@BianchiWrites) and radio show listeners to come up with some horse names that reflect the Magic's chances of winning the playoff series against the Pacers. Unfortunately for the Magic, it seems many believe they are headed for an early exit. Among some of the horse names: (1) Howard's End (2) Dwight's Flight. (3) False Start (4) Sir MissAlot (5) Blue Glue. …
Every year during the playoffs, the Magic trot out the old marketing slogan: "Blue and White Ignite." This year, they should change the slogan to "Blue and White — Where's Dwight?" … After the abysmal Game 3 performance against the Pacers, I think now we know why Dwight has chose to rehab his back in L.A. Would you want to watch this if you didn't have to? … What do Dwight and Tiger have in common? Dwight has a herniated disk and Tiger has a herniated swing. … FSU athletic director Randy Spetman announced a $2.5 million budget shortfall earlier this week because of lagging football ticket sales. Somewhere, Jeff Bowden is probably saying, "You can't blame this one on me!" … Hey, if Glen Davis keeps playing like he has in the first three games of the playoffs, he may have to change his nickname from "Big Baby" to "Big Time." …
Congratulations to Shaquille O'Neal, who will today earn his doctorate at Barry University in South Florida. "Kids can still call me Shaq, but adults should call me Dr. O'Neal," Shaq cracked to the Miami Herald. And we all thought Shaq was kidding when he started to referring to himself as "The Big Aristotle." Now he has the academic credentials to back it up. … Amar'e Stoudemire cuts his hand while punching a glass fire extinguisher casing in the Knicks' locker room. If Magic shooters had tried this, they would have missed. … Did you see where British lawmakers have said Rupert Murdoch is "unfit" to run a company? Aren't fans of the Charlotte Bobcats saying the same thing about Michael Jordan? … Speaking of the Bobcats, Paul Silas did not get fired as the coach, he got paroled. … Still can't believe the Jaguars used a third-round pick in the draft to take a punter named Bryan Anger. What next — Jags trading a second-round pick for long snapper Billy Annoyed? … Mariano Rivera, the greatest closer of all-time, blew out his knee and perhaps ended his career while shagging fly balls during batting practice in Kansas City. If this is it for Rivera, it will be the worst ending to greatness since the final episode of "Seinfeld." …
Last word: "Legendary poker player Amarillo Slim has passed away at the age of 83. His friends were stunned. They thought he was bluffing." — Jay Leno
Open Mike:
Most every weekday, you can click on OrlandoSentinel.com and read the wildly popular Open Mike blog and interactive extravaganza to get my freshest takes on what's happening in the world of sports. Here's an excerpt from a recent blog post about the suicide of NFL legend Junior Seau:
That didn't take long.
It was only hours after Junior Seau died of a self-inflicted gunshot wound that talking heads and pseudo psychologists on the Internet began speculating that the NFL ultimately caused Seau to pull the trigger and take his own life.
Analysts and bloggers everywhere now are theorizing that brain-related injuries and concussions Seau may (or may not) have sustained during his playing career might have been the reason he decided to commit suicide.
Such talk is irresponsible guesswork.
Why is it every time a professional football player commits suicide, it's the NFL's fault?
Tragically, tens of thousands of people commit suicide in this country every year and, believe it or not, most of them have never played a down of football. Rich people, poor people, black people, white people, young people and old people commit suicide not because they have suffered too many blows to the head but because, for some reason, they have lost hope.
Don't get me wrong, I'm not saying football had nothing to do with Seau's suicide; I'm just saying let's not recklessly rush to judgment here. Maybe he had personal problems. Maybe he had financial problems. Maybe he had other problems we will never know about. Maybe football was so important to him that once he retired he couldn't find anything in his life to replace it.
Maybe he had a broken heart instead of a broken head.
The fact is we'll never know why Junior Seau took his own life.
Only he knows for sure.
All of the neophyte psychologists and amateur concussion experts can try to make sense of it, but it is fruitless.
There is no making sense out of a senseless act like suicide.
Mail bonding
Most interesting reader retorts, tangy tweets and message-board mockery of the week:
•On Glen Davis coming up with the Magic's "We All We Got" playoff mantra: "The way the rest of the starters are playing, Davis should change the mantra to 'I'm All We Got.' "
•On the Tom Petty song that best describes Magic's Game 3 performance against Pacers: "Free Fallin' "
•On college football bigwigs announcing that a college football playoff is likely on the way: "Glad they finally came to the conclusion that everybody else came to 10 years ago."
Notable quotables
In honor of Dr. Shaq earning his PhD from Barry University, three of my favorite quotes from when Shaq wasn't "The Big Intellectual" he is today.
•"I can't really remember the name of all the clubs that we went to." — Shaq when asked if he had gone to the Parthenon during his visit to Greece.
•"My game is like the Pythagorean Theorem. Nobody has the answer." — Shaq failing to realize that everybody has the answer to the Pythagorean Theorem ( a2 + b2 = c2).
•"I've won at every level except college or pro." — Shaq before winning an NBA championship

As most of you know, I am in the Talented Mr. Roto's ICE experts league. Here is a brief summary:
Participants are Darryl Dobbs (The Hockey News), Scott Cullen (TSN), Jan Levine (Rotowire), Michael Finewax (Rotoworld), Gus Katsaros (McKeen's), Pete Becker (Rotopass.com), Eric Maltais (the Talented Mr. Roto), Christian Peterson (Fanball), Matt Romig (Yahoo), Dan Dobish (CBS Sportsline), Ray Flower (FantasyHockey.com), and Roy Aquino (Sportsblurb).Rules: Leader in a category (G, A, PPP, +/-, PIM, SV%, W, GAA) gets 12 points (bottom gets one point). 3C, 3RW, 3LW, 6D, 2G, 5 bench.
Anyway, I was first throughout October and two weeks of November. I was then slammed by injuries (Hemsky, Doan, Zubrus, Sopel, Van Ryn), but I made a nice recovery by plucking Brunette, Cleary, Recchi, and Koivu off waivers. Cleary was valuable because he could play LW and RW in Yahoo. Zubrus was similarly valuable because he could play RW and C. Because I had Zubrus, Koivu, H.Sedin, Savard and Yashin all at center, and was hurting on the point, I offered McKeen's Koivu for Boyle. He was weak at center. He wanted Yashin, so I did the deal.
We all know what happened to Boyle and Yashin after that. It launched me back into first place by mid-December and I stayed there until the beginning of February.
It has fallen apart and I have fallen to third. There is not a lot I can do. The waiver wire is plucked clean.
The reason for the drop? Marty Turco has hit the skids. Rick DiPietro has slipped as well - his team hasn't been getting him the W's. I owe much of my success to these two - absolute steals in the rounds that I got them in. I got them because I knew they would play 70 games, and whether they suck or not - 70 games from a goalie is good. I also have Martin Biron as my No. 3 goalie, waiting on a deal so I can make him my starter.
Anyway, that's the background. My goalie categories have cost me first and I am now third, yet my goaltending is solid and could get hot at any moment - so my hands are tied. Right?
Usually I would agree, but suddenly a goaltender has appeared that could save the day - Jaroslav Halak of Montreal. As you can imagine, a pool full of experts has sucked all the decent goalies off the waiver wire. Your choices are limited to J.S. Aubin, Mathieu Garon and the like. Hell, even Sean Burke is unavailable!
So Halak comes along and has won two in a row. He could be nothing, but Montreal is a team that seems to have a goalie pop up every 10 years and drive them forward. Some of them fizzle the next season (Steve Penney) and some of them push them into the playoffs (Cristobal Huet and Patrick Roy and Ken Dryden). Either way, it is only a one season pool so I don't care if they fizzle in the playoffs or in the following year.
I don't need a goalie, but Halak potentially could be the best commodity out there. I have to have him.
This is how our waiver system works. We have a $100 budget and you submit a blind bid to the commissioner. By January, I had spent $39 on Brunette, Recchi, Koivu, Cleary, Klesla, Giordano...and one or two others (can't remember). The $61 I had left put me about 8th in terms of budget. Since then, I haven't spent a cent (actually - Giordano cost me $1, but that's not the point - he's dropped now anyway).
I need defensemen. If I can get Halak, maybe I could trade TURCO. What would Turco bring me? A premium defenseman. What would I do about goaltending? Well, Halak could pan out, and if not maybe Biron will get moved. Either way, the only time to get Halak is NOW.
I bid $23 because the highest bid I had ever seen was $21. I overbid for him because goalies come along once every...well, never. I will drop Cleary. Zetterberg and Datsyuk are getting all the points now in Detroit, so Cleary is gone. He's still a 50-point guy I think, but that doesn't help me and he's on my bench anyway.
My defensemen - Van Ryn won't pull out of his funk, Bouwmeester is a little...so he's okay, Klesla is not doing THAT bad, but Pronger, Boyle and Sopel are carrying the D. Spacek is on IR. So I need to move Turco and pick up a top rearguard.
So I guess all this yacking tells you this - I grabbed the best player available, overpaid for him even though it is in a position that I am strong in, so I can leverage a trade to address my weakness. Hope this helps guys.

Boehner tells Leno life's too good to be president
McCaskill and Wagner pointing fingers after gov't shutdown
U.S. Senator Claire McCaskill (D) is chiding House Republicans for failing to allow an up-or-down vote on a so-called "clean funding" bill.
McCaskill released a statement as the midnight deadline passed in Washington, saying the government shutdown will upset economic recovery. She criticized House Speaker John Boehner (R), calling his handing of the budget process "irresponsible political posturing."
The St. Louis County Democrat says the federal government shutdown will hurt Missourians by delaying veterans' benefits, causing furloughs for 39,000 federal employees in Missouri, delaying loans for small businesses and Social Security checks for seniors enrolling in the program for the first time.
During an interview with CNN's Wolfe Blitzer Monday evening, 2nd District Congresswoman Ann Wagoner (R) said the House GOP were the only ones working to avoid the shutdown.
The St. Louis County Republican criticized Senate leadership and President Obama for failing to negotiate over the weekend.
Wagoner issued a statement after the midnight deadline saying that she has waived her salary for the duration of the government shutdown "because congress didn't get the job done." Wagoner blamed the deadlock on "partisan bickering."
Congress seeks answers from Obama on Syria
WASHINGTON (AP) — Wary of another war, congressional Republicans and Democrats pressed President Barack Obama to explain why the U.S. military should attack Syria and involve Americans in a deadly civil conflict that has roiled the Mideast.
"What is the intended effect of the potential military strikes?" House Speaker John Boehner, R-Ohio, wrote the president on Wednesday as the drumbeat of war grew louder.
Exasperated members of the House and Senate said the president has failed to make a case for U.S. military action against Syria despite the administration's conclusion that the Syrian government carried out a large-scale chemical weapons attack against civilians last week.
The administration signaled Wednesday that it would act against the Syrian government even without the backing of allies or the United Nations in response to the alleged chemical weapons attack outside the Syrian capital of Damascus on Aug. 21.
Some lawmakers insisted that Obama, despite his standing as commander in chief, cannot unilaterally order military action against Syria without congressional authorization.
The president said in a PBS interview Wednesday that he had not made a decision about how the United States would respond.
In his letter, Boehner underscored that he has been supportive of administration policy to date as Obama has called for Syrian President Bashar Assad to resign and insisted that the use of deadly chemical weapons would be a gross violation of international norms.
Boehner wrote that in light of the administration's contention that the Syrian government had used chemical weapons against its people, Obama should provide "a clear, unambiguous explanation of how military action — which is a means, not a policy — will secure U.S. objectives."
The administration was planning a teleconference briefing Thursday on Syria for leaders of the House and Senate and national security committees, U.S. officials and congressional aides said. Rep. Mike Rogers, R-Mich., chairman of the House Intelligence Committee, complained in a letter to Obama on Tuesday that informal briefings and conversations with administration officials have focused on the general situation in Syria and included no discussions of steps being considered or a comprehensive strategy.
Boehner asked Obama to "personally make the case to the American people and Congress for how potential military action will secure American national security interests, preserve American credibility, deter the future use of chemical weapons, and, critically, be a part of our broader policy and strategy."
The speaker also pressed the president to provide a legal justification for any U.S. military action.
There was no immediate reaction from the White House to Boehner's request.
In the House, 98 Republicans and 18 Democrats have signed a letter to Obama demanding that he seek congressional authorization for any military action against Syria. The letter written by Rep. Scott Rigell, R-Va., argues that intervention without a direct threat to the United States and without Congress' approval would be unconstitutional.
Washington Rep. Adam Smith, the top Democrat on the House Armed Services Committee, cautioned that an attack might be ineffective and draw the United States into the Syrian civil war, now in its third year.
"Simply lashing out with military force under the banner of 'doing something' will not secure our interests in Syria," Smith said in a statement.
Oklahoma Sen. Jim Inhofe, the top Republican on the Senate Armed Services Committee, said he informed the administration that he could not support any military strike against Syria unless Obama presents a detailed strategy to Congress and provides a defense budget to support any action.
An increasing number of lawmakers have asked what would be the end result of U.S. military intervention against a Mideast country where the Assad government and rebel forces have struggled for more than two years, with an estimated 100,000 killed and millions displaced.
"The war in Syria has no clear national security connection to the United States and victory by either side will not necessarily bring into power people friendly to the United States," Sen. Rand Paul, R-Ky., said.
In his letter, Boehner raised 14 questions that he asked Obama to answer, including what the administration would do if Syria retaliates against U.S. allies in the region, whether the administration would launch additional military strikes if the initial ones proved ineffective and what was the intended effect of such a step.
Boehner alluded to the 10-plus years of fighting in the aftermath of the Sept. 11, 2001, terror attacks and the need for the administration to have strong public and congressional support for U.S. involvement in a Mideast war.
"Our military, as well as their families, deserve to have the confidence that we collectively have their backs — and a thorough strategy in place," the speaker wrote.

text: Josh Flint Ag Desperataly Needs To Speak To Consumers With a Unified Voice Prairie Gleanings The anti-commercial ag sentiment continues to grow in this country. What are we doing to do about it? Published on: May 17, 2012 It seems my "Consumers Got Exactly What They Asked For" blog has sparked some conversation. While some agreed with my comments (actually they came primarily from Tyler Cowen), many were outraged that I would pit farmers vs. consumers. And, how dare I cast the blame on consumers? How dare I? Are you joking? These folks have been blaming farmers for everything from destroying the earth's atmosphere with animal farts to maliciously abusing every hog, cow and chicken that was ever raised for human consumption. Granted, it's a minority that goes so far to actually put all modern farmers on the naughty list. But, here's the scary thing, that minority is growing. A lot of folks who read this blog don't believe me. I would wager most of those folks live in rural areas, where folks still have their heads screwed on straight. I live in St. Clair County, just 15 miles from the St. Louis Arch. In urban areas, middle class (and up) families are starting to turn against mainstream farming. Last week, I saw a billboard attacking Monsanto as I crossed the Poplar Street Bridge over the Mississippi River. That's about 20 miles from their corporate headquarters. They employ numerous St. Louisans, and they never shy away from supporting the community and its sports teams. If that's not enough evidence for you, take a trip to a St. Louis farmer's market. Stroll around and take in the sights and sounds. Strike up a conversation or two. If you're a mainstream farmer, you'll notice folks won't have a great opinion of you. Oh, and these markets are booming. So much so, the St. Louis grocery stores want them shut down because they're losing out on produce sales in summer months. So, yeah, there is a war going on out there. My only question is when will that war start influencing public policy. Our various farmer groups already have a full time job putting out legislative fires on a state and federal level. We're at a crossroads here. To date, we've primarily employed one of two tactics in discussing food production with consumers. On one hand, we play up the economic efficiencies in today's food production system. On the other, we present food production in a light we think these consumers want to see. This includes playing up the environmentalism and family farm angles. Both of these approaches are correct. So what's the answer then? Better marketing. But, here's the problem. If farmers across the U.S. got behind a unified marketing effort, where's the payoff? Consumers are still going to buy the majority of their meat from the local grocery store, which got it from a major processor, which bought it from the farmer. So, marketing probably won't boost sales. However, it may help protect us against the rising consumer tide. If we can get consumers to understand production practices in the short-term, it could eliminate a lot of legislative/regulatory problems in the long-term. And, yes, it can be done. I've been part of an ongoing Facebook conversation on food production for about a month now. Slowly, I've been sending her articles that show her the fallacies inherent to being a locavore. The other day, she thanked me for showing her the truth. We've got to work together on this growing image problem. Farming has become so specialized. When HSUS attacked the Ohio hog industry that was either an Ohio problem or a pork problem. In all actuality, it was ag's problem.

Palm reading cash machines can not tell your fate, but, at least, remove some of them. Ogaki Kyoritsu Bank in Japan has announced that it will introduce its first ATM in the country that allow the withdrawal of money just by scanning the palm of the hand. ATM is not the first to use the additional testimony, but said it was the first to function without the need for your cash card. Customers need to stop by the branch to provide some validation of the manual – and of course palm scan – then you go. The bank is hoping it will help people to access their money in case your card is lost, or natural disasters. Great until you upgrade to one of them.

John & Michele in the Morning
After 15 years, we're down to the last week. July 12, 2013 will be the last show for John & Michele in the Morning. There's nothing scandalous to report...sorry!
John will continue his reign as Springfield's morning show king, but he'll just be doing it with someone new.
Michele is moving on to a new phase of her career in the radio business. She'll still be in Springfield and still with Neuhoff Media, however instead of being on the air she's going to be focusing on all things digital. It's been a great 15 years, and John & Michele plan to spend this last week reminiscing with guests and playing some of the best moments of the past.
Michele would LOVE to hear from you this week. Write on the

Actress Stacy Dash Experiences Backlash Over Romney Support
She should know by now that if you're an actress in Hollywood and a Republican it's better to keep your mouth shut. But Stacy Dash of "Clueless" decided she would tweet her support for Mitt Romney. Then the backlash started. Dash received a tweet saying, "You're an unemployed black woman endorsing @MittRomney. You're voting against yourself thrice. You poor beautiful idiot." Dash says she received a thank you call from Romney's running mate, Paul Ryan, who she said called her "brave."
Debut of "Nashville" Tonight on ABC
It's one of the most anticipated new shows of the fall season. Tonight Hayden Panettiere and Connie Britton star in the new drama "Nashville." Catch it at 9pm tonight. Here's a preview.
Ben Affleck is No Hit-and-Runner!
If only more people were like Ben Affleck. The actor accidentally side-swiped a car in Santa Monica recently while he was out shopping with his two daughters, and he left a nice note for the owner of the car with his information. Here's what it said according to JustJarded.com:
Hi, I knocked off your mirror! Very sorry! Will cover everything. - Ben.
Now isn't that nice?
"Peanuts" Film in the Works
Most of us have a favorite Peanuts TV special, but now the Peanuts gang is coming to the big screen. The new animated film featuring Charlie Brown and the rest of the gang is scheduled to hit theaters November 25, 2015. That times the movie perfectly with the 65th anniversary of the debut of the comic strip and the 50th anniversary of the first TV special, "A Very Charlie Brown Christmas."

October is a celebration of the national Adopt-A-Shelter Dog Month. There are about 3 to 4 million dogs living in animal shelters across the country. Many would make a great addition to anyone's family, but just need that second chance. Looking for a purebred? Twenty-five percent of the animals in shelters are purebred, so you don't have far to look.
Here are a few things to consider if you are looking to add a dog to your family. You could be considered the perfect dog owner if:
Believe caring for a dog for 15 years does not seem like a lifetime.
- Like sharing your house with someone who sheds, tracks dirt occasionally and possibly drools.
- Don't mind sharing a house with someone who will never clean up after themselves.
- Want to take care of someone every day.
- Love a playmate who likes to chase balls and drag off shoes.
- Want someone to adore you even on a bad hair day.
- Believe that spaying and neutering pets will help solve the pet overpopulation problem.
- Would like to spend your extra money on pet food, toys, and veterinary care.
- Can't imagine leaving your devoted pet behind when you move.
- Want to keep an ID tag on, or microchip, your pets so they can always get back to you no matter what.
- Enjoy unconditional love and constant companionship.
Recent research conducted by Edge Research found that, compared to the pet store (puppy mill) dogs, shelter dogs generally require less veterinary care. Even with that, still only 20-30 percent of dogs and cats are adopted from animal shelters and rescues across the country.
If you are not able to adopt a dog, help spread the word to family and friends about shelter animals. Animal shelters across the country have dogs of every type, size, age and personality waiting for loving homes. Visit your local animal shelter this October to find out what a shelter dog can bring to someone's life during Adopt-A-Shelter Dog Month.

The Brevard Alumni Mentoring Program (or BAM!) is a student-alumni mentoring program for first-year BC students with a primary focus on personal development. The goal of this mentoring experience is to provide incoming students with a successful transition to Brevard College, a positive first-year experience, and an opportunity for experiential learning.
Be A Superhero
As a BC alum, YOU can make a difference in the life of an incoming first-year student AND play a key role in boosting retention, with just two hours of your time per month! Register today to be assigned a student sidekick for the Fall 2013 pilot program! Fall 2013, will be a pilot year for the BAM! Program. Because it is a pilot program, both student and alumni participation will be limited. Improvements to BAM! for future years will be based upon feedback from student-alumni pairs. Participants will effectively be architects of the program.
Mentor Roles
As a mentor you play several roles, including:
- Motivator: Expresses belief and confidence in the sidekick's abilities, and encourages the sidekick to try new things.
- Resource: Teaches and advises the sidekick on how to make professional contacts, and introduces the student to new people, places or ideas.
- Supporter: Encourages open and honest dialogue, and listens to and responds to the needs of the student.
- Coach: Helps the student develop, and work to achieve realistic and meaningful goals.
Basic Expectations:
- Make the first contact with your student and respond to all communications in a timely manner.
- Spend at least two hours per month building the mentoring relationship.
- Set expectations with student for how and when you will contact each other.
- Help your student in identifying and setting goals, track progress and make changes.
- Approach the mentoring relationship with an open mind, professionalism and respect.
- Support your student's personal development.
- Maintain and model professional behavior. Define professional behavior if needed.
- Donations of any amount to the BAM! program are appreciated, but not expected. Funds will be used to fund events for BAM! participants on campus.
- Communicate problems with the mentoring relationship to BAM! program staff.
Aside from these basic expectations, student-alumni pairs are free to create their own experiences. For mentoring to be successful there must be a reciprocal, comfortable relationship between mentor and student. Both parties must work at the relationship to make it successful by being open-minded, respectful and keeping to the expectations they have set for the relationship. Ideally, the mentoring relationship will be mutually beneficial for both the mentor and sidekick.

This week I delivered the opening speech at the annual Spectrum 20/20 conference that focused on the state of Canadian wireless marketplace. As the title of this blog posts suggest, I believe that Canadian wireless is in a state of crisis, with limited competition and high data prices. The talk and slides have been posted to Blip.tv and are embedded below.
Note that I also covered the issue this week in my technology law column (Toronto Star version, Ottawa Citizen version, Vancouver Sun version, homepage version). I begin by noting that last week's announcement that the Apple iPhone will make its long awaited Canadian debut later this year generated considerable excitement. While analysts focused on the bottom line impact for Rogers Wireless, it may be that the most important effects have already been felt in Canada since more than any industry statistics or speeches, the iPhone's slow entry into Canada has crystallized the view that the Canadian wireless market is hopelessly behind the rest of the world with limited competition, higher prices, and less choice.
Several readers noted that the posting of my recent Osgoode Hall talk was in a limiting format. The organizers have now posted an embedded, flash version that should be more readily accessible.
Rudy Jahchan of Galacticast provides a creative take on the fight against the Canadian DMCA.
Last week's column on the Data Protection and Privacy Commissioner's conference has generated a fair amount of attention. As I noted in my blog posting, the column was based on my concluding remarks in the final plenary of that conference. The Office of the Privacy Commissioner of Canada has now posted a video of those remarks on YouTube.
Over the past year, Canadians have faced a barrage of claims painting Canada as a "piracy haven." This video - the second in my collaboration with Daniel Albahary - moves beyond the headlines to demonstrate how the claims do not tell the whole story.
Update: Source documents for the film posted here.

Follow along and go behind the scenes as the lead writer for the California Educator magazine, Sherry Posnick-Goodwin, visits schools across the state to bring you feature stories.
You may have seen him at a CTA conference. He's the tall, skinny guy with colorful ties and a camera who says "just one more, just one more" and then takes LOTS more photos. His name is Scott Buschman and he has been taking photos for the California Educator since 1996, when CTA traded a tabloid newsletter for a real magazine.

For the December issue, I needed a teacher for Point/Counterpoint who would defend parent donations to help cash-strapped school districts. My hometown, Brisbane, had an educational foundation of which I was once president, so I asked the Brisbane Teachers Association president if someone might be willing to speak on this topic. I was delighted when she said Steve Keener would fill in – and not only because I had found someone to fill a badly needed spot in the magazine.
Mr. Keener was the fifth-grade teacher for my daughter, Nicole, 20 years ago. He was her favorite teacher. When I walked into his classroom for the first time in two decades, I was struck by how much he looked the same, except for some gray hair. (Of course, thanks to Lady Clairol, he can't say the same for me.)
I pondered these questions as I interviewed Sunitha Gokavi, a Rialto Teachers Association member who donated a kidney to save the life of fellow RTA member Keith Shattuck, who also teaches at Casey Elementary School.
Their story appears in the November issue of the California Educator. What amazed me the most is that they were not close friends. They were acquaintances who said "hello" and nodded to each other in the hallway. Yet she gave him a kidney.
At least six teachers and their spouses at Casey Elementary School attempted to donate a kidney for Keith. That amazed me even more. All of them were ruled out for health reasons, so Sunitha stepped up, even though she barely knew him. Teachers, indeed, are givers in the truest sense of the word.
Sunitha donated a kidney as part of a "paired exchange" donor program. Under this kind of "pay it forward" plan, a donor who is incompatible with a designated recipient agrees to donate their kidney to a stranger, in exchange for the designated recipient receiving a kidney from another stranger. Keith's kidney came from an altruistic college student in St. Louis, who started the chain. Sunitha doesn't know who got her kidney, but she knows it saved that person's life as well as Keith's life.
Right before my eyes, I could see these students developing into future success stories, if only they'd try just a little bit harder.
The It's My Life class is a staple at Pacific High, a continuation school in Ventura for students who could not succeed in a regular school environment. Ventura Unified Education Association President Chip Fraser describes it as a "blueprint for adulthood" to help students make better choices. Topics include: Knowing your own potential; asking the right questions; understanding the problem and exploring potential solutions; creating a life plan; and overcoming obstacles. Fraser and former teacher Brian Jaramillo started the program in 2007 with the help of an NEA grant, and CTA's Institute for Teaching has provided grant money over the past three years.
Fraser says it was necessary because he saw students on a daily basis who were lacking important information to succeed in life. Someone has to provide it, he says, and it might as well be him. Good for Chip! It wasn't easy to get this course past administrators, but he did it. He has grit: This guy once walked 500 miles to talk to Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger about public school funding.
We looked right and left before photographing Patrick Tierney pushing open the bathroom door of the women's restroom and then the men's restroom at a hotel in Ontario. Just to be safe, I checked both restrooms first to make sure they were vacant. If staff saw us, we might be accused of weirdness, voyeurism or even worse – been asked to leave the premises before obtaining the photo we needed!
Why, you might ask, were we photographing the president of the Arcadia Teachers Association alongside restroom doors? It was to go with this month's California Educator story about the new law granting transgender students the right to use facilities for the gender they "identify" with.
Transgender students are often excluded from physical education classes, sports teams and restroom facilities of the gender they identify with, which violates their civil rights, jeopardizes their psychological wellbeing and makes it difficult to focus on learning. The new law, which CTA and the state PTA supported, will change that.
How do you prevent maggots from infesting a corpse? What happens if gangrene begins to set in? What's wrong with only preserving the visible parts of a corpse – the hands and face – instead of the entire body?*
As the students in Embalming 101 heard answers to these important questions from Cypress College Mortuary Science Department instructor Glenn Bower, I felt slightly queasy. We'd come to the school straight after landing in Orange County in the early morning. Fortunately I was on an empty stomach. I put my queasiness aside and took copious notes.
We only had two hours, but in the end, I was so fascinated that I wished I could have stayed all day at the unique mortuary science program (See October's California Educator).
After years of seeing what No Child Left Behind has done, it was downright refreshing to visit 10 classrooms that were piloting the Common Core State Standards (CCSS) for a story appearing in the June issue of the California Educator.
Instead of just being the "sage on the stage," I saw teachers acting as "facilitators" for students taking responsibility for their own learning. Rather than being spoon-fed information in the traditional "front-loading" way, students had to tell the teacher what they didn't understand and then fill in the missing puzzle pieces themselves.
Every child deserves a chance to learn and no child succeeds alone.

Commentary: David Beckham was worth it for MLS
|Los Angeles Galaxy's David Beckham, center, of England, talks with reporters during a news conference in Carson, Calif., Tuesday, Nov. 20, 2012. Beckham will play his final soccer game for the Galaxy in the MLS Cup next month. (AP Photo/Alex Gallardo)
So, was David Beckham worth it? Did Major League Soccer and the Los Angeles Galaxy get their $32.5 million worth when they signed the global icon away from Real Madrid in January 2007? Upon his arrival, he appeared on a Sports Illustrated cover, standing on a red carpet, with the words: David Beckham, Will He Change the Fate of American Soccer?
Did he? Did he have a $32.5 million impact on MLS and soccer in this country?

text: I have a strange, leaky setup in my laundry room that I would like to repair and update. Looking for advice on the best way to address it. Here is my setup: There is a hot and cold line running out of the wall, with pipes running from them directly to a leaky old faucet. The faucet is attached to my utility sink. Also running from the hot and cold lines is a second set of pipes that have shut off valves and lines running to my washing machine. To make this a little more complicated, my washing machine drains into the utility sink. The pipes and handles for the washing machine are directly above the faucet, which (a) makes it hard to access the faucet and (b) causes confusion as to which handle to turn when turning on the water for the sink. Is there a standard setup that I could follow when I replace all of the old piping and leaky items? See attached photo. Thank you!

Friday, April 25, 2014
By Nancy Armour / The Associated Press
The Chicago Blackhawks headed for the East Coast, one win between them and the Stanley Cup title. The Boston Bruins, meanwhile, went home knowing they had to win the next game to avoid elimination, not to mention the bitter experience of watching someone else celebrate winning the Stanley Cup on their ice.
Boston Bruins goalie Tuukka Rask skates back to the crease after a goal by the Chicago Blackhawks in the second period of Game 5 of the Stanley Cup Finals on Saturday in Chicago. The Blackhawks won 3-1.
Sound familiar? It should.
Not only were those the scenarios for the Blackhawks and Bruins as they made their way to Boston for Game 6 on Monday night, they were the exact situations each team faced the last time they were in the Stanley Cup finals.
Chicago won Game 6 in Philadelphia in 2010 to give the Blackhawks their first Stanley Cup title since 1961. The Bruins won Game 6 at home in 2011, then beat the Canucks in Vancouver for their first Stanley Cup championship in 39 years.
"We could all take some experience from that and realize that, to win this game, we've got to make sure we leave everything on the ice," Boston forward Brad Marchand said, referring to the Bruins though his words could have applied to the Blackhawks, as well.
"We want to win the cup, and to do that, you've got to push to the last second of the last game," Marchand added. "We've learned that the hard way."
In 2011, the Bruins lost the first two games of their finals series with Vancouver. They evened it up with wins on their own ice, only to put themselves on the brink of elimination with a loss in Game 5.
The Bruins came out roaring in Game 6, scoring four goals in the first period on their way to a 5-2 win that forced a winner-take-all finale. Two days later, it was more of the same as Boston routed the Canucks 4-0 for the Stanley Cup title.
"You always have life until it's over," said Boston goalkeeper Tuukka Rask, who was Tim Thomas' backup in 2011. "This is a new season. Obviously, we know what we did in the past, but it's not going to help us (Monday) on the ice. We still have to go out there and make it happen."
But this current group has shown some resilience, too.
In the first round of the playoffs, the Bruins were down 4-1 to Toronto with 11 minutes left in Game 7. Nathan Horton, Milan Lucic and Patrice Bergeron scored to give Boston new life, then Bergeron scored in overtime to send the Bruins into the next round.
Not that Boston coach Claude Julien planned to remind his players of any of this.
"I don't need to go in there and give this big speech and get these guys riled up because they know what's at stake," Julien said. "We've proven it in the past, and now we have an opportunity to prove it again. That's up to us to show it on the ice versus talking a great game in the dressing room and not showing up on the ice."
The Blackhawks didn't see much point in reminiscing, either.
In 2010, they took a 3-2 lead to Philadelphia after beating up on the Flyers 7-4 in Game 5. They were four minutes from winning the cup in regulation when Philadelphia tied the game, but Patrick Kane won it in overtime. After the puck crossed the goal line, it got stuck beneath the padding in the net and no one could see it. It took a video review to uphold the goal — though Kane and Patrick Sharp didn't wait to start celebrating in front of the Philadelphia fans.

Both Sides of the Fence
A Tosa resident since 1991, Christine walks the dog, cooks but avoids housework, writes and reads, and enjoys the company of friends and strangers. Her job takes her around the state, learning about people's health. A Quaker (no, they don't wear blue hats or sell oatmeal or motor oil), she has been known to stand on both sides of the political and philosophic fence at the same time, which is very uncomfortable when you think about it. She writes about pretty much whatever stops in to visit her busy mind at the moment. One reader described her as "incredibly opinionated but not judgmental." That sounds like a good thing to strive for!
Why can't the chicken cross the road on a bike?
In the past, it was just, 'We're going to rebuild this road.' Now we're trying to pull in the ideas of, while we're doing this, can we lessen the stormwater impact? Can we improve bicycle, pedestrian, physically disabled accommodations? LaCrosse city planner Larry Kirsch
If the road we are talking about is Mayfair Road, and especially its juncture with Bluemound, the chicken can't cross the road because the chicken is too smart to take his life into his hands.
How not to succeed in business (or governance, love, or just about anything)
Last night I had the pleasure of being kicked out of a bar for the first time. I guess at 62, it's about time. But then, I've never much enjoyed bars or confrontation. It's no surprise it took this long.
The bar in question was Serb Hall's, one of the biggest bars around. I'd gone to meet a friend for a fish fry. If you're not a local reader, fish fries are a pragmatic Milwaukee sacrament started during Prohibition, when all the bars needed to find new ways to make money. The tradition is honored to this day, only with large quantities of beer and other adult beverages.
(Serb Hall is another Milwaukee institution, the site of weddings and union gatherings, presidential visits, and more. A vast building, it also holds a bowling alley and promises "extraordinary hospitality.")
I didn't know at the time that this wasn't any random gathering. Most of the others in the group of ten, people I didn't know, were union supporters and activists, and they were there to show support for the handful of union staff left in the organization. The idea was to go, ask to be seated at the server's tables, enjoy dinner, and leave a generous tip. You can read the backstory here.
But it was not to be. The host announced that we couldn't be seated, as the waitress already had a table of 15 (people I later learned were doing the same thing we were, supporting union employees). That made sense to me, although my daughter, a waitress, informs me that she'd be delighted to be given two big parties. We were offered other waitstaff's tables in the largely empty room but declined.
At which point the bartender, also a union employee, came up with a quick-minded pragmatic solution. "If you eat at the bar, I can write your tickets. You'd have to do the buffet: I can't serve tables while bartending." So we all said yes--good idea, paid our money, and started heading toward the buffet.
One or two of us actually made it. The food looked lackluster and smelled worse, but that seemed beside the point.
The rest of us were stopped before we made it to the dining room. The manager, sitting bulldoggedly at the bar between us and the buffet line, started yelling at the bartender and the one union waitress serving in the adjacent room, who, although we'd requested her, had just been "cut" (sent home early for lack of work in restaurant parlance).
"Come here when I call your name! Do you want me to write you up?!" the manager growled.
He told us it was against policy to serve food at the bar. Which seemed odd, one of the group mentioned, as the last time she was there she was told the only place she could order food was at the bar.
Heated discussion but no fisticuffs ensued. "Customers don't tell us how to do our business," the manager kept saying.
I was an interested but not involved party to the flurry of tweeting, recording, and filming going on throughout this encounter. Meanwhile, customers in the dining room watched or tried to avoid watching, looking miserable and uncomfortable.
Babies, buildings, and government size: Confused in the pursuit of happiness
The other day my daughter, her dear friend, and the dear friend's adorable baby, my pretend grandbaby, were in the kitchen talking and laughing. Buddha Baby grew restless so I handed him a whisk and metal bowl. Happy beyond expectation, he played for a very long time. No colorful expensive plastic products were involved, and I thought about all the time, energy, and money I had spent as a young mother obtaining stuff I believed would make my babies smarter and happier.
Do you know what makes you happy? Chances are you think you do, but you don't. The same is true of most of us, according to a growing body of fascinating research that says what we think we know about our own happiness is usually wrong. Researchers from the University of Chicago Center for Decision Research say we get stuck because we exaggerate the good features of what we prefer (or are being sold) and exaggerate the bad features of what we don't prefer (or have already decided not to buy). We remember the worst of an event disproportionately. And we rely on beliefs that just aren't true.

CLARKSVILLE, Tenn. – Crews repaired a sinkhole along the side of Interstate 24 in Clarksville Tuesday after a portion of the roadway had to be shutdown.
The sinkhole was reported around 6 a.m. in the eastbound lanes near the Rossview Road exit.
The left lane was blocked while the Tennessee Department of Transportation's geotechnical crews were on scene. They were working to fill the approximately 15 to 20 foot sinkhole with rocks.
Repair work was finished around 6 p.m.
