/ SuAsCo Watershed Dams
Plans have been proposed to upgrade six dams in the Sudbury-Assabet-Concord (SuAsCo) rivers watershed. Although the dams are still structurally sound and do not pose an imminent threat to public safety, today's increased land development has generated higher amounts of runoff than the dams were originally designed to handle.
The Massachusetts Department of Conservation and Recreation (DCR), which owns, operates and maintains the dams, has requested federal funding through the NRCS Watershed Rehabilitation Program to upgrade six of the nine SuAsCo dams. Another project to upgrade the George H. Nichols Dam in Westborough has already been completed.
Upgrading the dams will not only provide better flood protection, but will also maintain wetland and wildlife habitat and outdoor recreation such as nature and hiking trails. DCR and NRCS monitor the dams annually and after significant storms to ensure the safety of surrounding communities.
These dams, originally built between 1962 and 1987 by NRCS and DCR, provide an estimated $1.7 million in annual flood damage reduction benefits to the 36 towns within the SuAsCo rivers watershed.
The public is invited to review and provide comments on the following watershed plans and environmental assessments for the SuAsCo watershed dams. For more information or to provide comments, see the contact information at the bottom of this page.

Host Institutions
Universidad de Chile
Pontificia Universidad Catolica de Chile
Universidad Diego Portales
Council on International Educational Exchange (CIEE)
Program Dates
Fall semester: mid-July to mid-December. Spring semester: mid-February to early July.
CIEE: Liberal Arts
Located at the foot of the Andes mountain range, Santiago, a city of four million people, possesses a Mediterranean climate similar to Los Angeles. Santiago is Chile's political, economic and culture center and this modern, bustling city with European-style public transportation, contrasts sharply with many of the towns further outside of the capitol. Chile's relatively recent return to democracy and the legacy of Pinochet, as well as the ongoing efforts to maintain the nation's successful economic status while neighboring countries in South America face increasing difficulties, remain significant issues for Santiagueños.
The Liberal Arts Program in Santiago is administered by the Council on International Educational Exchange (CIEE). The program is designed for advanced students of Spanish and fully integrates participants into university life. Students select courses at the country's two foremost universities, the Universidad de Chile and the Pontificia Universidad Católica de Chile. CIEE also assists students interested in volunteering with local organizations while living in Santiago.
Academic Program
The program begins with the required CIEE course, Contemporary Chile. Following this course, students take an exam to determine whether they will continue with formal Spanish language study throughout the semester.
During the semester students will typically take one of two programs: 1) A Spanish language course (0.75 Pomona credits) plus three university courses (3.0 Pomona credits); or 2) four university courses (3.75 Pomona credits). CIEE also offers students the option to enroll in one of two optional elective courses taught in Spanish for students on the program: Human Rights in Chile or Language, Society, and Discourse in Chile.
Courses at Chilean universities carry varying amounts of credit. Pomona gives 1.0 Pomona course credit for 4.0 semester credits, so students should work closely with the CIEE on-site director to plan an academic program in keeping with the guidelines above. A maximum of 4.0 Pomona course credits will be granted for the semester. Normally, Pomona students may not enroll in university courses taught in English. Students enrolling in practical courses in dance, music or physical education should audit these courses.
Students are not permitted to take any courses taught by the CIEE study center on a P/NC basis, however, students may take direct enrollment university courses on a P/NC basis.
The program also includes visits to historical and cultural sites of Santiago and excursions to places of interest in Chile.
Living Arrangements
Students live and take their meals in Chilean homes.
Number of Students
CIEE enrolls between 35 – 50 students, selected from a national pool.
- Completion of an upper-division Spanish course (100 level or higher), or the equivalent.
- 8.25 GPA required.

The Cavaliers announced the TV schedule for Fox Sports Ohio today.
Here is the team's news release:
As the official TV home of the Cleveland Cavaliers, FOX Sports Ohio is pleased to announce it will carry the maximum number (70) of Cavs games eligible for local broadcast during the 2014-15 regular season.
Of the Cavs complete 82-game schedule, FOX Sports Ohio will NOT be able to televise 12 games due to national television exclusivity rights. See the complete schedule of FOX Sports Ohio's games below.To read more or comment...
The Cavaliers signed undrafted rookie center Alex Kirk on Monday. Kirk, the 7-foot, 245-pounder who played on the Cavs' summer league team, averaged 10 points and 6.8 rebounds during three seasons at New Mexico.
He averaged 13.3 points and 8.7 rebounds last season and was named to the Mountain West Conference's defense team.
Kirk averaged 5.2 points and 3.4 rebounds in five games with the Cavs' summer league team. After trading Tyler Zeller and losing Spencer Hawes in free agency, the Cavs have spent the last few weeks shopping for another big.
The Cavs now have 14 players under contract, but that number is likely to continue fluctuating in the coming weeks.To read more or comment...
AKRON: LeBron James insists he's home to stay.
"I don't plan on going anywhere," James said Friday night during the Welcome Home LeBron event at InfoCision Stadium. "I don't have the energy to do it again."
James structured his contract with the Cavs to allow him to again enter free agency after each of the next two seasons, but implied Friday that was a maneuver to take advantage of the league's next television contract, when max salaries could increase dramatically.
"At the end of the day I'm a businessman as well," James said, "and I know what's going on in our league."To read more or comment...
The new-look Cavaliers will open the preseason Oct. 5 against coach David Blatt's former team, Maccabi Tel Aviv, before departing for a highly anticipated reunion between LeBron James and the Miami Heat in Brazil.
The Cavs will play five of their seven preseason games in the state of Ohio, including stops in Cincinnati and Columbus, in the schedule released Friday. They will play seven preseason games and conclude the preseason Oct. 22 at the Memphis Grizzlies.
Sun., Oct. 5 vs. Maccabi Tel Aviv (Quicken Loans Arena), 6 p.m.To read more or comment...
The Minnesota Timberwolves have agreed on a trade that will send All-Star forward Kevin Love to the Cavs for Andrew Wiggins, Anthony Bennett and a protected 2015 first-round pick, Adrian Wojnarowski of Yahoo! Sports reported this morning.
The report says the Cavs have a "firm agreement" that Love will sign a five-year, $120 million contract extension to remain with Cleveland next summer.
The trade cannot be announced until Aug. 23, one month after Wiggins signed his rookie contract. Wiggins was the first overall pick in this year's NBA Draft.
In recent days, reports said the Cavs remained the lone team in the running to acquire Love, who will team with LeBron James to make the Cavs the favorite for the 2014-15 NBA title.To read more or comment...

Millcreek Township supervisors generally meet four times per month.
But that could change starting in 2015.
Millcreek Supervisor Richard Figaski voted with his colleagues to approve the 2014 schedule of supervisors' meetings, with a caveat.
"I would still like to see the board go to a two-meeting-a-month schedule," he said at the supervisors' annual reorganization meeting.
Figaski said he doesn't think the supervisors have the volume of votes to justify four meetings per month, but said he would see how the year plays out. Figaski would need a second vote from either Supervisor John Groh or Brian McGrath to make the change.
Supervisors meet once a week, with some exceptions for holidays, election days and township business that takes them out of town.

Not as advertised
Review submitted: October 24, 2012 Date of arrival: August 18, 2012
My family and my brother's family rented this property in August. We rented through vrbo,.com, but the owner removed the listing from the site, so I couldn't leave a review there.
We have rented in BP for 10 years and have never paid so much for so little. The house was as advertised from a space perspective, but in our opinion, the condition was not as expected. The house was not clean, and was in disrepair, according to our standards.
As always we had a wonderful time in BP, thank goodness, the weather was impeccable, so that we could be outdoors all the time.
We did contact the owner with our complaints, who said our opinion was subjective and promised a refund of some sort, which we never received. They say that they had surveyed the other summers' tenants who had great things to say about the property. Perhaps they didn't survey the person above.

Great Access, Easy Beach living
Review submitted: August 29, 2012 Date of arrival: July 1, 2012
Perfect beach house for me and my family this summer. Loved the location, especially the wooden walkway through the pines and over the dunes to get directly onto the beach in an easy 3-4 minute walk from the back door! Makes pushing a stroller or dragging a wagon with all the beach gear super easy, plus we could hop back for the bathroom, a snack, or to make a business call -- no car needed and we did not have to all leave the beach together, which is a rarity. Our tweens loved the freedom to sleep late & meet us on the beach later, lol. We brought our small dog (one end of this beach allows pets all day), and appreciate that although pets are welcome, the house was clean and showed no sign of other animals staying there (no "doggie" smells, no damaged furniture, pristine grass in yard for barefoot frisbee playing). The outdoor shower made it easy to clean dog & kids & keep all the sand out, too. The open plan kitchen/dining area is super - room for everyone to help out and eat meals together, with everything you could possibly need, dishwasher, blender, griddle, grill, lobster pot, even muffin tins -- also used extra kitchen w/ fridge in the adjacent apartment for overflow platters and back up provisions. When multi-generations and friends gathered it was nice being able to entertain just like we do at home, rather than having to get everyone off the beach early, showered, and in the car to go to a restaurant. House cleaners were super efficient - had a small issue with previous tenants leaving mess behind, but 1 call to owner and it was taken care of next day while we were enjoying stunning cliff walk at nature preserve a few blocks away. This is not what I would call a luxury rental, it's a classic Maine beach cottage that is inviting and comfy, where you can put your feet on the coffee table, play marathon Monopoly games for days at a time, cook up a huge clambake feast for 12 people, savor a glass of wine on the deck with friends, and the kids can safely play tag on the lawn, walk down to the rocky cove to look for sea glass, or ride bikes to the general store for ice cream. Wish we could stay all summer -- we will come back!

Lovely and very comfortable house
Review submitted: August 27, 2012 Date of arrival: August 11, 2012
House comfortably supported 6 people (4 adults, 2 children) -- very easy walk to the beach, fully furnished with usual amenities (including chairs/beach stuff) and a fully stocked kitchen with all working appliances (not always a given when we've rented). Bathrooms and kitchen were immaculate when we arrived and very easy for us to maintain. Nicely decorated, but not over the top -- all in all, exceedingly comfortable and an excellent value for what we received. Recommend this property highly.

Great location - loved Biddeford Pool
Review submitted: August 21, 2012 Date of arrival: July 21, 2012
This "welcoming family beach house " was well located and spacious. It was our 1st trip to Maine and we loved discovering all that Biddeford Pool had to offer. From the description of the house given by the homeowner we were expecting our accommodation to be comfortable and family oriented, certainly not 5 star as we were there for a simple family holiday with our children and grandchildren. Our excitment soon turned to disappointment when we entered the house. While it accommodated our family very well, we found it to be very dirty and in poor repair. There was food under the table from the previous tenants, the floors were in such bad shape that we hesitated to walk on them in our bare feet and the furniture was so stained that we were uncomfortable sitting on it. The kitchen cupboards were in complete disarray with everything just thrown in and disorganized. The outside shower was used quite a lot because the tub and shower in the main bathroom were disgusting. Thankfully the weather was good, the beach was beautiful and many happy memories were made dispite the poor accommodations.
Owners response:
We are puzzled and upset by this review. This is our family vacation home. We stayed there just a short time before these tenants and while the floors are old, neither the floors, bathrooms or furniture were stained or dirty. Furthermore, professional cleaners were there the day these renters moved in. Maybe the cupboards were organized differently than these renters might have liked. However, none of the other renters (neither this summer nor in prior years) have made remarks like this. It is possible that these renters had unrealistic expectations despite what they say. Or we suspect these renters are angry because we caught them doing something they shouldn't have. Notably they never complained during their stay.
We have years of rental history with happy renters returning year after year and writing wonderful comments to us. We have never solicited online reviews and thus the contented and positive comments sent directly to us are not reflected here to balance this one.

A deviant cg character, defying any laws of character animation.
Piece for Group exhibition 'Room with a Zoo' by iamstatic, Toronto, Canada @ Resistor Gallery. The concept was to create an animated character that shows behaviour not attributed to mimicking animals or people, or any traditional character animation technique (eg. disney) that is merely reiterated with cg. We were looking for methods that reflected the specific qualities of working with digital means. It features a technique where we connected polygon geometries to a bone system intentionally 'wrong' to distort them in a complex and dense manner. It also connects particles with spring dynamics and volumetrics.
Featured in the solo exhibition 'CONSTRUCTING' at fluctuating images in Stuttgart, Germany.

This Is East Van #Community #Art #YVR Comments Off
Summer is here in Canada. I've been spending lots of time fishing and gardening out on Galiano Island… but a big part of my heart (and my photography studio) still live at The Waldorf Hotel in East Vancouver, British Columbia Canada.
East Van is well known for it's rich cultural heritage including a rich homegrown DIY arts and activism scene that's taught me lots of what I know about the world. *points at Purple Thistle, Public Dreams, Culture Crawl, Tribal Harmonix*
One of the projects coming out of East Van I'm the most excited about these days is This Is East Van. This Is East Van is a community art project focused on photography and has involved hundreds of local artists lead up by Erin Sinclair and Rob Forbes. Erin & Rob are motivated, inclusive & FANCY! Their work is top-notch and everyone involved is very proud to be included in the project.
THIS IS EAST VAN 2: Mini-Doc #1 from THIS IS EAST VAN on Vimeo.
"Much like the progressive community that is East Vancouver, the photos demonstrated the diversity of its people, art, design, food and architecture. It soon became clear that the THIS IS EAST VAN project was going to be a candid snapshot, an authentic glimpse, of this diverse neighbourhood right now. Real images, by real people, in a very real, and vibrant community."
The first book came out last year and the second one comes out on Saturday and I can't wait to get my hands on it!

GOODYEAR, Ariz. (AP) - Three men are in custody in connection with a burglary and about $40,000 in damages at a Goodyear church.
Goodyear police say the suspects were arrested after officers responded to a separate 911 call Wednesday morning.
The men were seen running from an unoccupied home.
Police say they found property that had been stolen from nearby Desert Springs Community Church as well as graffiti similar to that found in the church.
Police say profanities and hate crime symbols were spray-painted at the church during the burglary which occurred sometime between Oct. 16 and 17.
They say the suspects also damaged walls and other property inside the building.
Authorities say Stevon Gonzales and Cody Heble were the men who broke into ghe church and vandalized it. Rodney Robinson was busted for possession of stolen property.
Detectives believe at least one additional suspect still is at large in the case.

Actually a pretty fun moderate route. Start under a tree around the corner to the right of the start of Isaiah and Jelly Roll. Climb up some blocky rock to a tiny roof (the start of Everyday Five Three.) Then traverse a couple feet right and go up a short corner (now you're on Head Cheese). Above this, climb a beautiful fingercrack up an off-vertical wall. Pull over some cool blocks and you're on top!

Is your bike in good working order? Too often athletes neglect the mechanical condition of their bike. They train and compete with low tire pressure, poor shifting, rubbing brakes, etc. These conditions cause flat tires, chain drops, inefficient pedaling and more.
Why not worry less and ride better by getting your bike tuned up? The cost… $60. The benefit… priceless. Make an appointment and we'll get your bike back to you overnight. To encourage you we'll give you a bottle of lube to take home and we'll answer any questions you have so you can keep your bike in peak condition.
Good luck at the Tri!

New EJB 3.1 Cookbook is Out!
EJB 3.1 CookBook is a new book from Packt that helps readers master EJB Web Services as well as manage transactions to secure EJB applications. Written by Richard Reese this book covers new EJB 3.1 features and brings the reader up to speed on how to use new techniques in EJB 3.1.
Enterprise JavaBeans (EJB) is a managed server-side component architecture for modular construction of enterprise applications on the Java platform. The EJB specification provides a standard way to implement the back-end business code found in enterprise applications. It also enables rapid and simplified development of distributed, transactional, secure and portable applications based on Java.
This book is part of Packt's Cookbook series and includes recipes ranging from building real world EJB solutions to the development of EJB applications. Packed with step-by-step examples, it starts with coverage of EJB clients and also discusses new technologies in EJB such as singleton beans that support application-wide needs, and aspect oriented features such as logging and data validation.
Recipes within this cookbook allow readers to use EJBs outside of the Java EE environment with the help of the embeddable container, and will teach developers to work with asynchronous session beans to complement message driven beans in support of message based applications. Each recipe throughout the book contains systematic instructions and is accompanied by an analysis of the proceedings carried out in each task.
Java EE and EJB developers interested in using servlets in the construction of a web application will find this book to be an interesting read. This book is out now and is available from Packt. For more information, please visit www.PacktPub.com/ejb-3-1-cookbook/book
Paul Shipley replied on Wed, 2011/07/27 - 6:54pm
This cookbook aims to address the challenge developers and programmers face in learning the EJB 3.1 technology, the chosen development environment and the testing of EJBs.
The writing style is concise and to the point with topics clearly illustrated by simple step by step
examples that are discussed in detail. Some of the topics covered include: Session Beans, Message-Driven Beans, EJB Persistence, security and deployment. Both Dependency Injection (DI) and the Java Naming and Directory Service (JNDI) is covered. While it could be read cover to cover to learn EJBs there is both an extensive table of contents and index which allows jumping directly to a topic of interest, and the eBook version is fully searchable. All of the code is available for download on the Packt website.
The examples are developed using NetBeans 6.9.1 and GlassFish Server Open Source Edition
v3.0.1 starting with simple EJB clients, which are then extended to cover each new topic. While no
prior knowledge of EJBs is required, some familiarity with EJB and Servlet concepts and
architecture would be helpful and a sound understanding of Java and XML concepts and practices
are essential. Annotations are used extensively and a basic understanding of these would be
This book would be an excellent resource for both intermediate developers looking to learn EJBs
and experienced developers wishing to dip into specific techniques. An ideal companion to EJB 3
Developer Guide (ISBN 978-1-847195-60-9).

I am looking for some GC controllers to play SSBB with. I saw these on Ebay, but I don't know what kind of quality they are. Does anyone have experience with them or would I be better off buying some used official GC controllers?
Also, I have heard that the Platinum colored official GC controllers are less responsive than the other colors. Is this true?
Thanks for the help.

As a clerk at a beverage store, Eduardo Eddie Gonzalez survived a robbery and shooting that inspired his decades-long career in law enforcement.
After a stint as an Air Force police officer, he went on to become deputy director the Metro Dade Police Department, moved on to become the Tampa Police Chief and was later tapped by former President Bill Clinton to lead the U.S. Marshals Service.
Gonzalez died Friday in Kendall of a heart attack. He was 73.
Though he was best-known for his professional career, Gonzalezs family remembers him as an avid traveler who considered Spain his second homeland, a food connoisseur with a soft spot for the Home Depot hotdog stands, and an irreverent comedian who would make you laugh and blush at the same time.
He was successful in his professional career. But as a man, as a husband, as a grandfather, as father, he was second to none, said David Calzadilla, Gonzalezs grandson.
Gonzalez was born in Tampa and moved to Miami after high school, earning a bachelors degree in criminal justice from Florida International University. He joined the Metro police department in 1965 and by 1986, Gonzalez was named deputy director.
It was there that he met his wife, Marina. The two wed in Las Vegas 33 years ago on Valentines Day. Together, they formed a blended family with children from previous relationships. Marina still remembers what attracted her to Eddie.
He had a great personality, always making me laugh at everything. And also his looks: He had a great mustache, Marina said.
Eddie Gonzalez retired from the Metro police force in 1992 and then went on the lead the Tampa Police Department as chief. He had a soft spot for his hometown, said one of his daughters, Sandy Perez-Alvarez.
He loved Tampa. Thats deep in his heart, she said.
While there, Perez-Alvarez said her dad was especially proud of a policy he implemented regarding when officers were allowed to engage in chases, reducing the number of dangerous pursuits.
He told the police, Dont do that anymore, because youre hurting innocent bystanders, she said.
Gonzalez was later picked to lead the U.S. Marshals Service and the family moved to Washington, D.C. His family said Gonzalez was responsible for preparing a government-wide plan to secure federal buildings after the Oklahoma City bombing. He served as director of the service from 1993-1999.
The Gonzalezs then made their way back to South Florida. Theyve bounced around Miami-Dade County Eddie Gonzalez liked to buy and sell properties living in Miami Beach, Coral Gables and, most recently, Kendall.
Eddie Gonzalez is survived by his wife; his daughters, Perez-Alvarez, Christy Kian and Julie Abbuhl; his grandchildren David Calzadilla, Jessica Kian, Emily Kian and Nathan Abbuhl; and his great-granddaughter Trinity Calzadilla.
A service will be held from 6 p.m. to midnight on Monday at Bernardo Garcia Funeral Home Kendall Chapel, 12050 SW 117th Ave. The interment will take place at 10 a.m. on Tuesday at Woodlawn Park Cemetery South, 11655 SW 117th Ave.
A previous version of this article misspelled Julie and Nathan Abbuhl's last name.

Rooster Rock Climb
Trip Reports
Upper School Climbs Rooster Rock
A bold party of Catlin Gabel Upper Schoolers set out on April 11th to ascend one of Oregons landmark pinnacles: Rooster Rock in the Columbia Gorge. After discussing the history and naming of the prominent landmark, the party of six made the hazardous approach to its objective.
|Early painting of Rooster Rock. The route takes the dihedral in the center, moving up and right.
|Approach Hike through the stinging nettles
|Oooh Ben, do you think shorts are best idea?
The climb of the spire itself involved two pitches of moderate rock climbing, up to 5.3. The rock is good in quality, since all the bad rock had been knocked off by earlier parties.
The team of six roped up at the base of the pillar. Olivia Miller led the first pitch to the two bolt anchor. The other five followed. It was a cramped belay ledge for six, but Olivia was soon on her way again, leading the second pitch.

|The views of the Columbia River are tremendous
|What, theres more to go?
The second pitch of Rooster Rock features fine climbing on easily protected rock. The exposure is a bit frightening, but the Catlin team made short work of it.
|Topping out! Interstate 84 in the distance

It's called Shake 'n Bacon Brew beer milkshake, and it's either going to be the best thing you've ever tasted, or a retch-inducing eye-roller.
If you're interested, the catch is, it's only available at the Texas Motor Speedway from October 31 to November 3 during the AAA Texas 500 NASCAR race weekend.
Levy Restaurants Executive Chef Joel Pena created the Shake 'n Bacon Brew which consists of six ounces of Rahr & Sons Ugly Pug Black Lager, six ounces of Blue Bell homemade vanilla ice cream, and two ounces of bacon-infused maple syrup topped with three ounces of whipped cream and bacon crumbles. Yum.
Mind you this milkshake is only available to those 21 and over. But for the kiddies, they'll whip up a non-alcoholic version using root been instead of the beer.
So proud of this concoction, the chef has actually created a YouTube video for those who want to try to make this at home.

Natural Tick Prevention For Your Yard And Dogs
There are a number of tick borne diseases that your dog can contract. Keeping your yard as tick free as possible can help.
If you drag a white sheet across your yard, if you have ticks they will stick to the sheet. You then put the sheet in the dryer for 10 minutes to kill the ticks.
This is a good way to check your yard.
You can hire a company to treat your property with all natural products.
For those of you that do not like to use topical preventions that you get from your vet; here are a few natural methods.
Garlic – Bug Off Garlic - www.springtimeinc.com
Brewers yeast http://www.vetinfo.com/natural-tick-prevention.html/
Apple cider vinegar http://www.vetinfo.com/natural-tick-prevention.html/
Diatomaceous earth http://www.lowchensaustralia.com/health/diatearth.htm
I have read that garlic and brewers yeast given in too high a dose can be harmful or deadly to your dog so be sure and do your research and check with your vet.

More "HP in the DarndestNews
More "HP in the Darndest Places," from our readers:
From Sejal:
The news about Harry Potter appearing in The Sopranos reminded me of something. A while ago, I was watching the movie Winning London. Harry Potter also had a little cameo in that. It was during a scene where the twins (Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen) were dressed as boys and pretending to be the children of a rich lord. Another boy's father asked them what their father's name was. The twins panicked and responded "Lord...Lord...Lord Voldemort!"
And from David:
I read your piece about an episode of The Sopranos mentioning HP. I wanted to tell you about another show on T.V. last night that mentioned Harry Potter. It was Gilmore Girls on the WB network. The scene was in a training school for child beauty pageant contestants. The teacher wanted them to walk with great balance so she put an HP book on all their heads and said, "Walk straight kids. You have Harry Potter on your head and if you trip, Harry will die and there won't be another book." [Note from Melissa: What a horrible, horrible thing to say to a child! :)]

"Myself, I Think We Should Keep Collecting Titles"
Exhibition of work by Dean of the Faculty David Dobkin
The Lewis Center for the Arts at Princeton University will present a unique exhibition of sculptures, photo-collages, and site-specific installations by Dean of the Faculty and professor of computer science David Dobkin, a self-identified amateur artist who collects and creatively repurposes a vast array of things from daily life. The exhibition is part of a graduate arts and humanities course, "Contemporary Art and the Amateur," and will open on Thursday, September 19 with a reception at 6:00 p.m. in the Lucas Gallery at 185 Nassau Street. The exhibition and reception are free and open to the public.
According to Joe Scanlan, professor and Director of the Program in Visual Arts at the Lewis Center, the exhibition will feature hundreds of objects including snow globes, popsicle sticks, water bottle caps, Snapple lids, compact discs, keyboards, mother boards, paper tubes, credit cards, safety rings, fasteners, postcards, and pennies, as well as hundreds of photographs of food items, menus, waiters, signs, phone booths, friends, and colleagues.
David Dobkin at home with some of his collected objects.
"The actual title of the show is itself a collection of prospective and cast off titles," notes Scanlan, "None of which seemed capable of capturing the spirit of the show on their own."
Dobkin, a resident of Princeton and on the faculty of the University since 1981, is the Phillip Y. Goldman '86 Professor of Computer Science at Princeton. In 2003 he was appointed Princeton's Dean of the Faculty. The focus of his research as a computer scientist is the application of theoretical tools to the understanding of the processes underlying computation particularly in the geometric/graphical realm. In addition, he has strong interests in the impact of information technology on society. Dobkin holds bachelors and masters degrees from Massachusetts Institute of Technology and a doctorate in applied mathematics from Harvard University. He has also taught at the University of Arizona and Yale University.
"From an early age, I was possessed by a compulsion to collect and organize objects," explains Dobkin, "and my art follows this compulsion." He notes he is a student of American kitsch with major collections of snow globes (more than 800), postcards (filling 11 shoeboxes and covering three full walls), pictures of people in phone booths from around the world, and sculptures devised from found objects. He has no formal training as an artist, perhaps aligning him with an eclectic group of "self-taught" or "visionary" artists, many of whose work, while outside the mainstream of the art world, has come to be viewed as significant. Examples of such artists include Henry Darger, James Castle, and Judith Scott. Castle and Scott's work were featured in a recent survey of German artist Rosemarie Tröckel's encyclopedic retrospective at the New Museum, New York, last spring, at Tröckel's request.
According to Scanlan, Dobkin's work also has affinities with trained or "professional" artists, particularly modern art's fascination with the idea of collection--as exemplified in the work of Arman, Louise Nevelson or Marcel Broodthaers--and contemporary art's interest in "anti-aesthetics," in which artists devise rules, systems, or other means for making art that defies traditional notions of composition and taste--as in the work of Sol LeWitt, Bernd & Hilla Becher or Tony Feher. "How David and his work relate to any of these artists is an open question," says Scanlan. "That was part of my inspiration for organizing the exhibition and seminar. The amateur, and amateurism, are hotly contested topics in contemporary art."
Among Dobkin's first works was a sculpture inspired by a childhood fascination with beaded curtains, which led him to make a set of curtains from Dannon yogurt lids and paperclips. Examples of other works include a collection of photographs he has taken of the menus and waiters at many of the places he has dined; indexical groupings of all manner of postcards by genre; and over 700 pounds of pennies sorted by year and mint stored in a system of custom-made acrylic towers.
The exhibition is cosponsored by the Program in Visual Arts in the Lewis Center and Princeton's Interdisciplinary Doctoral Program in the Humanities, with the support of The David A. Gardner '69 Magic Project Fund and the Lewis Center for the Arts and is an integral aspect of the graduate course being taught by Scanlan, developed in consultation with Jeff Dolven, director of the Interdisciplinary Doctoral Program in the Humanities. The course also involves faculty from the departments of Classics, English, Philosophy, and the Program in Theater, along with the Princeton University Art Museum and the Museum of Modern Art P.S. 1 Museum in Queens, New York.
"The course and the exhibition explore the concept of the amateur as a liberated novice, a non-professional, a 'lover of things,'" explains Scanlan. "David is a great example of a person whose proclivities are perfectly manifested as works of art, regardless of his formal training. Like many artists, David notices objects and material flows that most people don't, and he combines them in ways that not only reveal his aesthetics and thought processes, but also spark curiosity and visual delight in the people who see them.
While Scanlan and Dobkin want to keep some of the surprise factor for visitors to the exhibition, they revealed that one wall will be collaged with images from Dobkin's many photographic collections, and, according to Scanlan, "a specially constructed room--casually referred to as 'the brain'--that will be an exact replica of the room in Dobkin's house where he 'cooks up' many of his ideas."
The exhibition will run through Friday, October 4. The Lucas Gallery is open Monday through Friday from 10:00 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. Admission is free.

Topic: fellow breaks fans - your thoughts
I've been 'lurking' on here for a while now, on all the different forums, but my main interest is breakbeat music.
This forum seems a bit dead and I for one would be happy to contribute more to see it liven up a little. So my question to start the discussion is this - what would you want from your own breakbeat label if you could finance and run it ?
What sort of things would you do differently to what is already being done by the likes of TCR/Disuye/W9Y/MOB/etc/etc/etc ?
