livo..my point is it should be announced before hand or it smacks of being underhand..it should be clearly stated to all that a director is going to be elected (as it was with the season ticket holders) and invites to any interested party given. if it ends up with one candidate then thats fine but we will now never know if someone was interested in standing. Its not that it was held at the AGM its the FACT that it was never announced that the board were looking for another director.
We shouldnt have to go cap in hand to the directors for information they should be laying out the information infront of us..Honesty and clarity...thats what we wanted.
Mike - I will find out if there was an advert placed to invite applications for the BoD and also look into why the fact that an election was taking place wasn't known to all members, thus allowing proxy votes to be cast. When I know exactly what the situation was I will make it public.
What I can say for certain is that there was NOT an attempt to get anybody onto the board in an underhand manner. If this had been the case then we could have just co-opted a twelfth member on at anytime. This is allowed under the A of A - although not something I personally agree with as i believe all directors should be endorsed by the membership (whether that be debenture holders or season ticket holders). All the current directors have been endorsed by the membership, as your were when you held office.

Cold light beer can be refreshing, especially during these hot days of summer, but the best, most flavorful stuff is usually served at (sometimes significantly) warmer temperatures. So, if you're looking for the best craft beers, here are a few good places to start. And because many of these places offer a ton of beers (both on tap and in bottles/cans), some recommendations are included.
Bob's Bar
4961 N. High St., Clintonville
The most hardcore beer fans instinctively flock like to salmon of Capistrano to Bob's. Follow the bar on Twitter to keep up with the latest tappings and events — for instance, a Chimay/Duval event celebrating Belgium's Independence Day happened Wednesday, and Hoppin' Frog Brewery and Three Floyds Brewing Co. will be featured Thursday.
Three suggestions: Three Floyds Blackheart (English IPA), Hoppin' Frog Hop Heathen Imperial Black Ale, Harpoon Summer Beer (Kolsch)
1044 N. High St., Short North
There are many reasons why this is one of the Short North's most popular bars, and the epic beer selection (50 drafts, one cask) is at the top of that list.
Three suggestions: North Peak Diabolical IPA, Founders All Day IPA, Brooklyn Sorachi Ace (farmhouse ale)
Local Bar
913 N. High St., Short North
The awesome '70s decor (furry walls!) and best-decorated bathrooms in the city are nothing compared to the excellent draft list and some rare selections in bottles and cans.
Three suggestions: Dogfish Head Theobroma (ancient ale), Great Divide Hades (Belgian strong ale), Mendocino White Hawk Select IPA
Lounge 62
953 E. Johnstown Rd., Gahanna
This spot tucked away in strip mall in Gahanna features 62 — yep, 62 — beers on tap. Multiple taps from standout craft breweries like Southern Tier, Founders and Avery share the tap space with some rarities in the semi-swanky lounge setting.
Three suggestions: Ballast Point Sculpin IPA, Young's Double Chocolate Stout, Avery Hog Heaven (barley wine)
Matt the Miller's
1400 Grandview Ave., Grandview
The 26 taps that rotate selections regularly always offer great pairings with Matt the Miller's hearty comfort food menu. Just check out the Belgian beer dinner ($45, five courses) on July 23 to see.
Three suggestions: Columbus Brewing Co.'s Bodhi (Imperial IPA), 21st Amendment Monk's Blood (Belgian dark ale), Green Flash Saison Diego

Desiato Cider
Autumn is heaven for cider lovers, and cider-making partners Rich Smithson and Luigi Desiato have several treats in store for those who love these kinds of nectars. In a rustic barn deep in the woods outside Pipersville, Pa., the two are in their second year of turning an autumn apple crop into a retro hard cider that has developed a following in both the suburbs and in several of Philadelphia's best beer bars.
Desiato Double Barrel Hard Apple Cider was first served on tap at Mamma D's, chef Desiato's popular Pipersville restaurant. Positive reaction from patrons at the bar encouraged the fledgling cider makers to begin selling it to other venues. It debuted in Philadelphia at a 2011 summer beer festival at the quirky Grey Lodge Pub in Northeast Philly, among an assembly of firkins — 5.5 gallon mini-kegs — of craft beer from across the region. It was the first time that the bar had served anything other than beer at its annual Friday the 13th event.
Some drinkers pass over hard cider, saying it's too sweet and sticky. But fans of Desiato Cider insist it has an effervescent, silken texture and a dry, almost nutty finish.
Smithson blends up to four different varieties of apples for their brew, most recently Golden, Red Delicious, Winesap and Fuji, adding Bosc pears when the crush of apples needs flavor balance. Champagne yeast is added and the juice and pulp ferment and aged in Laird applejack barrels. Depending on the mix of fruit, it can take from six to nine months to produce the cider.
Desiato Cider can be found at Mamma D's Restaurant & Winery, Pipersville; Tohickon Pub, Pipersville; Gravel Pike Inn, Collegeville; Iron Abbey, Horsham; Grey Lodge Pub, Mayfair; Hop Angel Brauhaus, Fox Chase; McCoole's Red Lion Tavern, Quakertown; London Grill, Fairmount.
Still not sold on straight-up cider? Try it in one of Smithson's cocktail recipes:
4 oz. hard cider
1 oz. Drambuie (a sweet Scotch whisky liqueur)
Pour Drambuie in a martini glass and top with cider. Stir gently.
4-6 oz. hard cider
1 sugar cube
Angostura bitters
Strawberry, sliced for garnish
Soak sugar cube in 3-4 drops of the bitters. Place sugar in the bottom of a champagne flute. Top gently with cider. Garnish with strawberry slice.
32 oz. hard cider
I orange, sliced
1 apple, cored and sliced
1 pear, cored and sliced
Pour cider into a large pitcher or wide-mouthed jug. Add sliced fruit. Gently stir. Refrigerate for at least an hour, up to eight hours. Strain into white wine glasses. Garnish with additional orange slices, if desired.

Sals' Reeder - WDEL Male HS Athlete of the Week
By Sean Greene Thursday, October 18, 2012 - 6:12pm
VIDEO: Interview with Salesianum's Troy Reeder
Salesianum running back and linebacker Troy Reeder is this week's WDEL Male High School Athlete of the Week.
Reeder scored 3 touchdowns in the Sals' 42-14 victory over East Orange High School of New Jersey last Friday.
Troy transitioned from quarterback to running back this year and says it helped make his team better.
"One of our greatest strengths is getting to run behind our big, strong offensive line. Having me back there to follow them through the hole in one of our greatest strengths."
Troy is being looked at by several Division I schools, and his future could be at linebacker, a position he says he prefers over offense.
"Since I was younger I always liked being the hitter, not the guy getting hit. It even carried over to high school."
Being a popular recruiting target has its downfalls, as Troy says he has to carefully balance academics, football, and recruiting, but says it's an honor.
"A lot of the guys I've looked up that have moved on from different programs that I've watched since I was a kid. Now those programs are coming to look at me, it's really fun."
Troy says his favorite class at Salesianum is world history, which just happens to be the only class taught by football coach Bill DiNardo.
"It's a lot of fun and he gets to put all of his effort into our class and he makes our class entertaining."

Dow nears record, fueled by strong housingBy STEVE ROTHWELL
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS | February 28,2013AP PHOTO
Traders work on the floor at the New York Stock Exchange in New York on Wednesday.NEW YORK The Dow came within 60 points of its all-time high Wednesday as it rose sharply for a second straight day.
The market surged following more evidence that the Fed will keep interest rates low, housing will keep recovering and shoppers arent pulling back on spending, though theyre paying more in Social Security taxes this year.
The gains were broad: Twenty-nine of 30 stocks in the Dow Jones industrial average rose. All 10 industries in the Standard and Poors 500 index climbed.
The Dow Jones industrial average closed up 175.24 points, or 1.2 percent, to 14,075.37. The index is now 89 points from its record close of 14,164.53 reached in October 2007. It rose steadily from the opening bell, then peaked near the record at 3:26 p.m. Eastern Time, before easing slightly in the last half hour of trade.
The Dow has surged 290 points in the past two days, erasing its drop of 216 points Monday when inconclusive results from an election in Italy renewed worries that Europes fiscal crisis could flare up again.
The market psychology has clearly shifted. Its no longer sell the rally, its buy the dips, said Dan Veru, chief investment officer of Palisade Capital Management. The economic data continues to be strong.
The Standard and Poors 500 index gained 19.05 points, or 1.3 percent, to 1,515.99. That put it within 49 points of its record close of 1,565, also in October of 2007.
The Nasdaq composite rose 32.61 points, or 1.3 percent, to 3,162.26.
Investors were also encouraged Wednesday that Federal Reserve Chairman Ben Bernanke stood behind the central banks low-interest-rate policies as he faced the House Financial Services Committee.
His comments dissipated worries about the banks resolve to keep up the program. Those worries sprang up last week when minutes from the banks last policy meeting revealed disagreement among Fed officials.
Also, the number of Americans who signed contracts to buy homes rose in January from December to the highest level in almost three years.
The report continued a string of positive housing news. Sales of new homes jumped 16 percent last month to the highest level since July 2008, the government reported Tuesday.
Home builder stocks rose for the second day in a row. PulteGroup climbed 25 cents, or 1.3 percent, to $19.30, after rising 5.7 percent the day before.
Some encouraging news for the bulls has been the housing data that has come out over the past couple of days, said Todd Salamone, director of research at Schaeffers Investment Research.
The analyst said he remained extremely bullish, on stocks in the medium and long-term, but cautioned that a pullback may lie ahead in coming days after the years strong gains.
Stocks have surged since the start of the year. The Dow is up 7.4 percent and the S&P 500 has climbed 6.3 percent.
But rising even more is the Dow Jones transportation average, which is up 13 percent for the year to 5,989.37. Airlines like Delta and Alaska Air are powering the gains.
If the economy is doing well youve got to be moving stuff around, said Phil Orlando, chief equity strategists at Federated Investors. Youve got to be moving people on airplanes, youve got to be moving cargo with trains or trucks, or UPS.
Discount retailers rose Wednesday. Dollar Tree jumped $4.31, or 11 percent, to $45.39 after reporting a 22 percent profit increase. Dollar General rose $1.61, or 3.6 percent, to $46.56. Family Dollar Stores rose $1.39, or 2.5 percent, to $57.68.
Earnings for S&P 500 companies will climb 7.8 percent in the fourth quarter, the third straight quarter of growth, according to data from S&P Capital IQ.MORE IN National / World BusinessNEW YORK Its not just the musical Hairspray that will air live on NBC tonight.

dear friends,

2012 & zero point consiousness
chaos, conciousness, 2012a journey into fundamental reality
in the field of 2012 research, a common territory to encounter is the idea of transformation, or evolution, of consciousness. that our very base consciousness might be somehow changing is of course quite extraordinary to consider. problematic though is setting the initial scene for this; after all, in many areas of mainstream physical science consciousness isnt understood. rarely is it even given a meaningful and informative description. what then is it that we call consciousness, and how might it evolve?
the best description i have heard for this ethereal element within all living is the one it is given by a group of advanced research scientists.
consciousness, at its most basic, is coherent light.
to take a step toward this amazing arena of knowledge, let us first consider the physical human being. one of the challenges for us is to think about non-physical forces when we are geared up to think about, and interact with, a very physical world. correct?
well the problem with this supposition is the fact that we are ourselves made up of physical building blocks named, atoms. under scientific investigation, it was found that over 99% of an atom is actually empty space. therefore, as you are yourself over 99% empty space, non-physical, it rather flies in the face of the idea that we are primarily physical beings who benefit by focussing on that element exclusively. what of the other 99%, surely that must be important to look at.

I love the New York Knicks with a passion ! I have since the early 90's where our team took it right up to the Bulls more often than not ! They played with so much Heart, Passion and Determination !
Jeremy Lin is the best thing that has happened at this club in a long long time ! I would have Jeremy Lin on this side before Mello any day ! This bloke busts his arse off for this team night in night out and sadly he isn't getting the support from most of his peers and The Coach obviously isn't doing his job either !
I would build a team around Lin over Mello any day !
But knowing Jeremy and his attitude and his belief in his team mates, I believe if we give him time, he will make it work in the long run ! Maybe not going all the way this year, but in the years to come LOOK OUT !!! I think it will take time, but eventually it will CLICK all of a sudden

Noted Lemon Law Attorney Vince Megna of Milwaukee says he is running for the Wisconsin Supreme Court.
Megan tells The Associated Press on Friday that he made up his mind within the past 24 hours and he's committed to making a serious run for the office no matter how many other candidates get in the race.
Two others have said they are considering running against Justice Patience Roggensack. But Dane County Circuit Judge Maryann Sumi and Marquette University law professor Ed Fallone say they are still making up their minds.
In recent months Megna has become a vocal critic of Governor Scott Walker and posted numerous satirical videos online attacking Walker's policies.
Despite the videos, Megna says he is serious about the Supreme Court race.

By Rep. Maurice Hinchey
Serving Sullivan County in the United States House of Representatives has been the greatest privilege of my life. As I prepare to leave office, I want to sincerely thank the people of Sullivan County who put their trust in me to serve their interests in Washington. In the most basic sense, that is what I have worked to do over the past 20 years.
To be honest, when I was growing up in a working-class family in Saugerties, NY, I didn't really see myself serving in public office for nearly four decades. When I graduated from high school, I enlisted in the U.S. Navy and went to work in a cement factory upon my return. Knowing that an education would help me build a better life, I enrolled at SUNY-New Paltz and worked the night shift at a toll booth on the New York State Thruway to pay for school. I never could have envisioned that I would have such an extraordinary opportunity to serve my community, my state and my country.
During the past two decades representing Sullivan County, I worked to protect our natural resources and environment, promote tourism and agriculture, and deliver millions in infrastructure and other federal investments, including my conversion of Route 17 to Interstate 86, which is literally helping to pave the way for a brighter future in Sullivan County.
I am proud of what we were able to accomplish, but of course, there is always more to do. As I near the end of my final term in Congress, I have spent a great deal of time reflecting on the work that remains.
I firmly believe that Sullivan County's beautiful scenery and storied history is only exceeded by its future potential. As we work toward charting the region's economic course, it is my hope that the focus will be on long-term, sustainable development.
With the future of hydraulic fracturing in New York still uncertain, we must make sure that we remain vigilant in our efforts to protect our water supplies from the dangers that this method of drilling for natural gas poses. Despite what those who stand to directly benefit may claim, fracking for natural gas is not the answer to the region's struggling economic conditions. In fact, it could do more harm than good by undermining property values, hurting the region's tourism industry and damaging the region's incredible beauty and natural resources. If we take the long view, economic revitalization can only be achieved by building upon the area's existing strengths and assets, protecting the region's water and other natural resources and cultivating a more diversified and sustainable economy.
That's why we must focus attention on attracting New York City residents to the region. With 10 million people living within a few hours' drive, we need to continue to promote tourism. As air and car travel becomes more expensive, we have a chance for new generations to discover the fantastic beauty of the region from the Delaware River to the peaks of the Catskills.
To be successful, we must continue protecting key assets, such as the area's world-class fisheries. To maximize the benefits of tourism, we also need to develop strategic economic plans that incorporate ways to tap the economic potential of our unique institutions. If a visitor to our region attends a concert at Bethel Woods, they should have access to quality hotels and be given reasons to extend a day's visit into many days.
We should also build public-private partnerships to redevelop the region's capacity to produce, process and distribute agricultural products to New York's restaurants and green markets. With our urban neighbors seeking fresh, local, and healthy food, Sullivan County has just begun to tap the economic potential of a revitalized farm sector.
We must also continue seeking the federal and state investments necessary to upgrade and repair the county's aging infrastructure. I am proud to have secured a Rural Area Economic Partnership designation for Sullivan County to help give the area a leg up in securing federal funds for this purpose. I hope that will carry on and that Sullivan will continue receiving the benefit of badly needed federal investments that will allow the region to grow into what we all know it can become.
While the region has seen its share of development proposals come and go, I strongly believe that the future of the Catskills and Sullivan County can only be understood by reflecting on its past. We know what our strengths are and we should work to build on those strengths.
As I look back, I hope that my story inspires others to build on what we accomplished together. Despite all the turmoil, rancor and pettiness we see in politics today, I still believe in public service. To me there are few things nobler than a person who chooses to serve their community, whether it is in public office, at a public agency or school, the military, or even volunteering through a local charity. We need more people to choose those paths and become strong, effective voices for the middle class.
I leave Congress with few regrets, but with a strong appreciation and love for this extraordinary institution, our democracy, and the people of our nation, particularly the people of this great district who I love dearly.

The Second Annual Freedom Seder Revisited on April 2 included musicians, performers and speakers commemorating the original seder, which happened one week after the assassination of Martin Luther King, Jr., in 1969. The founder and leader of that seder, Rabbi Arthur Waskow, director of The Shalom Center, was also in attendance.

Photo: © Skistar Sälen
Sälen is five winter resorts in the mountains of Dalarna offering every imaginable activity on snow.
There is something for everyone at Sälen with first rate accommodation, restaurants, pubs, nightlife and off-piste leisure activities.
Lindvallen is a family resort with great skiing and activities for kids. Högfjället meanwhile, is the quieter part of Sälen with wide ski runs and a first class choice of accommodation including hotel and mountain cabins.
You'll find Scandinavia's best half-pipe at Tandådalen, as well as after-ski activities for the kids. If the little ones have energy left after skiing all day take them to the children's party, go on the Viking Adventure or enter them for the Knatte Ski Cross cup.
Hundfjället offers some fabulously challenging runs, especially Väggen (the Wall) and you'll find out why if you dare to tackle it.

- Title
- Affordable broadband for all Australians
- Author(s)
- Morsillo, Robert
- Abstract
- This paper focuses on the issue of broadband affordability for residential consumers in Australia, specifically those 20% of households with very low income. Using new survey data with analyses of market prices, customer segments and the relative prices and capabilities of fixed and wireless broadband, the paper argues that affordability is still a significant issue that needs to be discussed more openly in the public policy domain. Specifically, policies and programs that enable people on a low income to experience high capacity broadband services for themselves at home would help secure the considerable investment in the National Broadband Network and ensure that the benefits of the growing digital economy are equitably distributed to all Australians.

Board of Governors
February 28, 2002
Members Present: Mr. Norris Kantor, Chair, Mr. John Barnes, Co-Chair, Mr. Jack Caffrey, Dr. Steve Bourne, Ms. Carol Baldwin, Mr. Frank Wilkinson
Members Absent: Reverend Garry Moore, Mr. Aaron Judy, Ms. Anne Crowe, Dr. Lyn Guy, Mr. Burt Clark, Ms. Ruth Payne Brown
Guests: Dr. Robert Moore, Mr. Jim Nelson, Ms. Vivian Sidote
Mr. Kantor brought the meeting to order.
Mr. Kantor asked for approval of minutes of January 17. A motion was made and seconded (Caffrey/Bourne)approve the minutes. Hearing no corrections, the minutes stood approved as distributed. Motion carried.
President's Update
Side by Side Comparison of SCR 32 and HB 4562 and the Senate Concurrent Resolution No. 32.
Dr. Moore said what the oversight committee of the legislature in their resolution wants is to have the Higher Education Policy Commission do a number of studies.
Listed in the resolution itself it states:
They are looking at the future role and mission of Bluefield State College and its component community college, including, but not limited to, the appropriate relationship to the Greenbrier Community College Center; Development of an effective and efficient plan to deliver post-secondary education in the Beckley area. Dr. Moore said this refers to the independent accreditation of the Beckley Center. It also refers to the Higher Education Center in Beckley.
Develop a specific implementation plan, with timelines to meet the essential conditions for community and technical college education in every region of the state. The central office did an analysis of conditions that are in the bill. We met every one of the conditions except the core faculty and the president for the independent accredited site.
Develop a plan for expanding access to dual-credit courses by high school students and a determination of the feasibility of providing financial aid opportunities for those students. Dr. Moore said this could in the future cause some financial monies being shifted to high school students with dual credit.
The Resolution has a lot of potential implications for BSC but at this point we really do not know in which direction this is going or what is driving the request. This does follow the bill and what as been moving in the past.
Radiologic Technology
Raleigh General Hospital will no longer do our clinicals for radiologic technology students. They will give us one more year to allow the second year students to complete their clinicals. Dr. Moore said Mountain State is going to start a radiologic technology program and will put an amount in excess of one million dollars.
Our Director of Radiologic Technology is looking at other sites so that we can get some clinicals. We may drop down to ten students.
Dr. Moore said BSC's fear is losing nursing clinicals. The new Higher Education Center in Beckley is tire directly to medical education.
Bluefield State College's radiologic technology program is accredited, however when Mountain State starts their program it will not be accredited until they finish the program.
The applicants for the Radiologic Technology and nursing have improved significantly in the selection process for the program.
The latest from Central Office is that Bluefield State College will receive $112,000 of new monies next year. The good news is there is potential for southern states looking at 10%-15% increase in tuition and fees because of the economic downturn in the southern states. Their colleges and universities are looking at 10%-15% increase in tuition and fees.
In West Virginia, the Policy Commission is looking at less than 10%. There was discussion of cutting tuition and fees in the community and technical college by $200 and is being reconsidered. There is also discussion about dropping the tuition and giving BSC the monies out of general funds.
The 3% cut in the base budget shows the community & technical college would lose 1 ½% and baccalaureate college would lose 2% in tuition and fees.
There are also discussion about peers as they look at education in the general funds category for determining the cost of FTE. The cost of FTE has to be appropriate to the tuition and fees we charge.
Dr. Moore said we have got to look at splitting the faculty into the community and technical college and the baccalaureate college. He said he is working on a study of what the faculty taught for the last six semesters. There was much discussion concerning this. This is something that the Board will have to look at.
Series Nine
Series Nine use to be Policy 36. This is the policy that guides the faculty. Dr. Moore asks that they look over this policy.
Default Rate
The Default rate for BSC went into double digits last year and now it has gone down to 9.6%.
Student Government Resolution
Dr. Moore said he would make a recommendation at the next meeting for this board to vote on the resolution from the Student Government to name a mascot the "Blue Devil."
Policy Review
Mr. Jack Caffrey asked why the last policy was not included with BSC policy. He said this policy is a good policy. Mr. Kantor asks that this be placed on the agenda for the next meeting.
Mr. Kantor mentioned that the Development and Research Corporation and the West Virginia Access Center for Higher Education corporation have been created and are moving on implementation.
Meeting Dates
A motion was made and second (Caffrey/Barnes) to approve the following meeting dates: March 21, April 18, May 16, and June 20.
Executive Session
A motion was made and second (Bourne/Wilkinson) to go into an executive session at 7:50 p.m. Motion carried.
A motion was made and second (Wilkinson/Caffrey) to go back into regular session at 9:00 p.m. Motion carried.
With no further business to transact, the meeting adjourned at 9:05 p.m.
Respectfully submitted,
Norris Kantor

I would be the happiest man in the world if we could beat them. Phil Jackson vs. Don ....that is the problem....but anyway go Knicks!!!
lakers are 8-2, knicks are 3-7
that would IMO be another problem
van horn sprained his ankle
the lakers have payton and kobe, they'll trash our defence, it would be very difficult to win this one, and will happen only if houston scores 50+
the lakers just lost with the pistons.. very unlikely to lose 2 in a row
lakers 113 - knicks 89
It is time that the guys from the bench prove that they are Knicks players and help the team beat the Lakers.I don`t see no optimism in you guys.What kind of NYK fans are you??? I now that all of you would be happy to see the big Lakers players whit their had down. Go Knicks go!!!
of course i would, but just being realistic doesn't hurt to much. personal, i don't like to put to much hopes into these games, i always get dissapointed.
maybe next time in L.A. whit McDyess!!!

Authorities in Simsbury, Conn., are trying to unravel the mystery of who left four pygmy goats on the roof of the local high school on one of the last days of classes.
Police and firefighters said they were called out to Simsbury High School on Wednesday morning after a custodian heard some strange noises coming the roof of the school and then spotted the goats walking around the overhang above the school's entrance about 10 feet up, WVIT-TV reported.
Investigators told the TV station that they believe the incident is a senior prank and are working to match a tag on one of the goats to an area farm.
The goats were found unharmed.
According to WVIT, authorities aren't sure whether charges will be filed in case -- it's up to school officials and the owner of the goats.
However, officers said they have no suspects in the case.
After the goats were rescued, classes continued on as planned.

Goodbye Philly (For Now)Saturday, July 30th, 2011
After two months, my internship at the Women's Law Project has finally drawn to a close. Yesterday was my last day and today I moved out of our apartment and drove home.
I had a wonderful time this summer and I'm sad it is over. I will be back in Philly soon, however, as Customs Week is just around the corner!

Kendrick Lamar may be a red-carpet regular and GQ's reigning Rapper of the Year, but it turns out he's a pretty humble guy in spite of it all. Proof? The 26-year-old rap star recently bought a house in Eastvale, California, which is an hour north of Los Angeles, to the very reasonable tune (in the rap world, anyway) of $523,500.
Lamar's purchase of the relatively modest, four-bedroom abode flies in the face of the lavishness that's come to represent mainstream rap, but it's completely in character for the Compton native. He has talked openly about growing up on welfare, the dangers of materialism, the importance of smart money management, and a rejection of indulgences stereotypical of his industry peers. If the budding superstar's refreshing message is as well received as his work has been, we likely haven't seen anything yet. And when it comes to Lamar's riches, that's just how he wants it.

Found Downtown: For the love of local bookstoresJanuary 28,2013
Editor's note: Montpelier resident Marija Zagarins will be writing about Central Vermont's independent businesses every other week.
I have a confession.
Even though I live within a two-minute walk of three of Montpelier's independent bookstores, I've bought most of the books I own through major online sellers.
The process of Internet shopping has become so convenient that I often do it when I only have a free minute or two, which is time enough to purchase something, but not to reflect on whether I really need it.
Often, as in the case of a 2-inch thick manual called "Building Construction" that I recently bought online for my infant nephew, I come to see these compulsive orders as mistakes and expensive flower presses.
Recently I had an opportunity to speak with Claire Benedict of Montpelier's Bear Pond Books. Unaware of my secret, she said, "This is a community that understands that if you're going to have a store in your downtown, you have to go to the store in your downtown. You can't just say that you value it and then buy online."
Then Benedict defined a major difference between her shop and online sellers: "We're nice to you when you come in. We chat with you. We spend a lot of time researching, finding, tracking down and ordering books for you if we don't already have what you're looking for. It's personalized service."
With her words weighing on my conscience, I made a resolution to atone for my previous crimes against local booksellers and start shopping for good reads downtown. In so doing, not only would I reduce my chances of making ill-informed decisions and give myself something to feel good about, but I'd also put an end to shipping fees.
I set out to visit five local bookstores and make at least one purchase at each.
Bear Pond Books
Reading mystery books is one of my greatest pleasures, but finding good ones can be difficult. Fortunately, Bear Pond keeps a secret weapon to help match almost any reader with a good mystery, and his name is George Spaulding.
Spaulding hosts monthly Mystery Book Club meetings at Bear Pond and lists the club's book recommendations in a regular email newsletter. He divides his working hours between Bear Pond and Kellogg-Hubbard Library, and quite possibly knows every Central Vermonter who reads.
Each month, the club selects two books on a unifying theme or topic to discuss. When I mentioned that I enjoy nonfiction as well as mystery, Spaulding recommended "Nothing to Envy," about the lives of six North Koreans over a period of 15 years; and James Church's "A Corpse in the Koryo," the first in the Inspector O series about a North Korean policeman. Not only were these both page-turners, but as staff picks I got them for a 15 percent discount.
The Book Garden
Also in downtown Montpelier, The Book Garden is reputed to offer one of the largest and finest selections of sci-fi and graphic novels in the area. I visited the shop with the goal of finding a book for my boyfriend, Kurt, who brags that he hasn't read anything since college.
The shopkeeper, Randy, asked a few basic questions about Kurt's age and hobbies, ruled out Manga and fan fiction, and finally directed me to a display table with literature about home-building. Kurt dreams of building his own house, and so I chose a colorful volume called "Home Work: Handbuilt Shelter" by Lloyd Kahn. He says he likes it.
Next Chapter
With its wall-to-wall carpeting, cushioned chairs and abundance of aisle space, Barre's Next Chapter offers one of the calmest and most comfortable environments for book-browsing of the five shops I visited.
I was looking for a book for my toddler nephew, and all I had to do was mention to the shopkeeper that Charlie loves trucks and singing. Without hesitating, he directed me to Boni Ashburn's "Builder Goose," a book of rhymes about construction vehicles. Perfect.
Country Bookshop
Plainfield's Country Bookshop is housed on the first floor of a lopsided wooden building which, barring a horse in the yard, could be mistaken for Pippi Longstocking's Villa Villekulla.
The dusty shop offers used books in every genre from fiction to folklore, and specializes in sheet music, first editions and autographed books. While its endless supply could fill a wing at the Library of Congress, the staff is efficient at guiding customers to the books they need.
I mentioned that I wanted something to inspire my green thumb, and within minutes I was handed a tattered volume called "Onward and Upward in the Garden." This collection of gardening essays, written by Katharine S. White (wife of E.B.) for The New Yorker in the 1950s and 1960s, would delight growers and non-growers alike.
Rivendell Books
I was running out of cash by the time I visited Rivendell in Montpelier. But since the shop accepts used books for store credit, I brought along a bag filled with old paperbacks I was willing to part with. (For the ruthless downsizer, Rivendell accepts up to two boxes or two bags per person.)
The shopkeeper who took my bag told me I'd be contacted when my books had sold, and at that point I'd have the option of taking half their selling price in store credit or 25 percent in cash.
Rivendell offers an ever-changing selection of new, used and collectible books, including a complete first-edition set of Mark Twain's works.
It's the sort of store that encourages browsing, and I was pleased to rediscover Sue Grafton, a mystery writer I enjoyed in high school. Having only made it through "J is for Justice" in her alphabet detective series, I picked up a $4 copy of "S is for Silence."
In the process of leaving my computer and getting access to personalized service at each bookstore, I was able to make choices that I doubt I'll regret. That's more than I can say for that construction tome I bought online.
As for that, I'll keep my fingers crossed that my nephew doesn't move on to other interests (except maybe flower-pressing) before he's ready to read it.MORE IN World/National BusinessWASHINGTON Long-term U.S. Full StoryNEW YORK Its not just the musical Hairspray that will air live on NBC tonight.

More development planned in Transit Village Area
- published_in
- Today's News
Southern Land Co. based in Franklin, Tenn., wants to build 285 apartment units in four, four- and five-story buildings, plus 98,000 square feet of office space and 24,000 square feet of retail/restaurant space in a four-story building.
The project would be directly west and south of the 319-unit 3100 Pearl Solana Apartments that are under construction. Southern Land Co.'s apartments would range in size from 400-square-foot "micro" studios to 1,600-square-foot three-bedroom units.
The land is within the Boulder Valley Regional Center and Transit Village Area Plan. That area is undergoing a significant transformation.
Across Pearl Parkway to the north of Solana is Depot Square, which is under construction. It consists of a mixed-use transit center to include a 150-room Hyatt hotel, 71 affordable apartment units, a below grade bus facility and a public plaza surrounding the restored historic depot building.
On the southwest corner of 30th Street and Pearl Parkway is Pearl Place, a project for 300,000 square feet of office space that is in the site review process.
Southern Land's project would be on land that is occupied by several businesses – a 13,000-square-foot private office building owned Bridge Partners IV that houses several businesses, the 2,700-square foot Gene's Auto Repair shop owned by Alvin Baker, and two buildings totaling 23,100 square feet and 4.5 acres of land owned by Hollister Properties LLLP that house the Valley Chrysler auto dealership. Southern Land Co. said it has the parcels either under contract or is in negotiations to buy. In 2012, Southern Land began searching for property to develop in Boulder and in 2013 decided on the location.
The Boulder Planning Board pointed out in a meeting June 5 that the northern portion of the project would need to be rezoned to mixed use, and the proposed density for apartments exceeds current limits. Changes would need to be made to the plan to accommodate the current plan, or the plan would need to be revised.
The planning board is looking closely to see if the project is consistent with the Boulder Valley Regional Center Design Guidelines and has questions about motor and foot traffic connections. Lacking from the current plan are how a new street and bridge connections over the North Boulder Farmers Ditch would be incorporated into the project, according to public documents prepared by the planning department.

After sack lunches and socializing, President Judy Weber held a short meeting. Meeting highlights are as follows:
Members brought pumpkins for our yearly pumpkin painting project, which was held the next day, Oct. 29, at the Three Rivers Nursing Home. Members, Dorene Elliott and Della Hicks, guided nursing home residents in decorating pumpkins for a little Halloween fun and fellowship. The afternoon was enjoyed by all.

All individuals, groups, businesses, schools and Garden Club members are encouraged to participate by bringing a decorated Christmas tree to be displayed at the First State Bank in Three Rivers, during the Christmas holiday season. Participants may bring in their trees, starting the day after Thanksgiving, on Nov. 29, and will accept entries no later than Dec. 13.
Cans will be placed in front of each tree for the public to 'vote' on their favorite tree by monetary donations. The winner will be announced in The Progress. All donations will go to the Boys and Girls Club.
After the meeting, members were treated to a tour of the beautiful new Three Rivers High School, led by School Principal, Mr. Charles Odem.
For our November meeting, the Garden Club will have a very special speaker, Mrs. Betty Awbrey, from Fair Oaks Ranch.
Awbrey is the author of Why Stop? – A Guide to Texas Historical Roadside Markers, and she will present her recently updated edition of the book.
This meeting is open to anyone interested in attending on Nov. 18 at 6 p.m., at the Our Savior Lutheran Church in Three Rivers.

China: Landslide buries 83 in Tibet gold mine areaTHE Associated Press | March 30,2013BEIJING A massive landslide engulfed a gold mining area in mountainous Tibet, burying 83 workers believed to have been asleep early Friday morning, Chinese state media said.
About 2 million cubic meters of mud, rock and debris swept through the area as the workers were resting and covered an area measuring around 4 square kilometers, China Central Television said.
The official Xinhua News Agency said the workers in Lhasas Maizhokunggar county worked for a subsidiary of the China National Gold Group Corp., a state-owned enterprise and the countrys largest gold producer.
The disaster is likely to inflame critics of Chinese rule in Tibet who say Beijings interests are driven by the regions mineral wealth and strategic position and come at the expense of the regions delicate ecosystem and Tibetans Buddhist culture and traditional way of life.
The reports said at least two of the buried workers were Tibetan while most of the workers were believed to be ethnic Han Chinese, a reflection of how such large projects often create an influx of the majority ethnic group into the region.
More than 1,000 police, firefighters, soldiers and medics have been deployed to the site, about 70 kilometers east of Lhasa, the regional capital. They conducted searches armed with devices to detect signs of life and accompanied by sniffer dogs, reports said.
Around 30 excavators were also digging away at the site late Friday as temperatures fell to just below freezing.
The reports said the landslide was caused by a natural disaster but did not provide specifics. It was unclear why the first news reports of the landslide came out several hours after it occurred.
Chinas recently appointed President Xi Jinping and Premier Li Keqiang ordered authorities to spare no efforts in their rescue work, Xinhua said.
County officials reached by phone confirmed the landslide but had no further details, saying that information reaching the main office was limited due to poor cellphone coverage at the site. Calls to the companys general phone line rang unanswered.
Doctors at the local county hospital said they had been told to prepare to receive survivors but none had arrived. We were ordered to make all efforts to receive the injured, said a doctor who gave only her surname, Ge, in the hospitals emergency section.
Ge said the hospital transferred some of its patients to other facilities to increase the number of beds available and that 16 doctors were on duty.MORE IN Wire NewsUNIVERSAL CITY, Calif.

(Bluefield)—Dr. Carol Easley Allen, a nationally known speaker on the subject of diversity in health care, was the featured presenter during a "Cultural Competence for Health Care Professionals" program at Bluefield State College. Dr. Allen addressed an audience comprised of students and faculty in the BSC Associate Degree Nursing, Baccalaureate Nursing, and Radiologic Technology programs, as well as health care professionals from the region.
The Chair/Department of Nursing at Oakwood (AL) University, Dr. Allen detailed cultural stumbling blocks that included a lack of understanding of ethnic groups other than one's own. "Too often, we stereotype members of ethnic groups without consideration of individual differences within the group," she noted. "Stereotyping is the most common cultural stumbling block."
She encouraged BSC faculty to integrate an appreciation of diversity into their personal, educational, and professional philosophies. After her morning presentation, Dr. Allen met with BSC School of Nursing and Allied Health faculty to consider ways to further incorporate diversity into the curriculum. Her appearance at BSC was sponsored by the Tau Delta Chapter of Sigma Theta Tau International, the Honor Society of Nursing.

These newcomers to the 2013 Second 100 roster reflect a broad range of segments, cuisines, price points and growth strategies. While some changes to the census proved beneficial in opening spots for upwardly mobile brands — this year, hotel chains were removed from the ranking — robust sales or unit growth, and sometimes both, boosted these 10 newcomers into the Second 100 echelon. Among them are four casual-dining concepts, two pizza players, two beverage-snack brands, one better-burger purveyor and one convenience-store concept offering fresh Tex-Mex fare at low prices. Each is poised to race up the list in coming years. They are ranked here by Latest-Year U.S. systemwide sales, in millions.

It's that time of year again, folks. The time when everyone's kitchen is caked in flour and sugar, love is expressed through the creation of tasty treats, and generous, giving spirits abound. Sounds like the perfect time for a vegan bake sale, wouldn't you say?
Vegan Haven (formerly Sidecar for Pigs Peace) is holding their Holiday Bake Sale this weekend, Dec. 15-16 to benefit the wonderful Pigs Peace Sanctuary. I'm going to be whipping up some savory treats for the event, know a few other local vegan friends will be doing the same, and know that friend Helen of Vegtastic is helping to plan it. The sale is still seeking more bakers to donate goods vegan baked goods for this very worthy cause. Have some free time and want to help bake for the piggies? Here's more info:
Baker guidelines:
- Please drop off your baked goods at Vegan Haven during this time frame: Friday, December 14th after 6pm through Saturday, December 15 at 8pm. If this doesn't fit in your schedule or you would like to bring in your items on Sunday morning so we have fresh goodies, please contact Helen at firstname.lastname@example.com to work out arrangements.
- All items must be vegan (no honey)
- All items must be cooked/baked. Dehydrated food is A-OK to bring to the sale.
- Avoid potentially hazardous foods that spoil easily without refrigeration. For example, pudding, cheesecake, a whipped cream filling or topping, etc.
- Wrap all of your items at home in individual sized servings. For example, if you¹re baking cookies, wrap them individually or 2 or 3 together in saran wrap or a sandwich bag. The reason behind this is to minimize direct hand to food contact at the sale.
- Follow hygienic practices when preparing and wrapping food–wash your hands frequently, keep a clean working environment, etc.
- Please bring a list of ingredients that you used in your baked goods. People might have questions at the sale regarding allergies, etc. You can put the list of ingredients on each item or bring one list, it's up to you.
Just a general bake sale FYI: individual-sized portions tend to sell better than large items. This way, people can pick and choose from a variety of treats, (I know this is my strategy). Also, you don't have to be vegan to contribute, just your baked goods!
If you are unable to bake, eaters are always welcome too! The bake sale usually features a variety of types of brownies, cookies, savory treats, cakes, etc., so there's something for every vegan baked good lover. You can also check out the wonderful Vegan Haven for holiday gifts if you're one of those people who have yet to start their shopping (aka, me). Win-win!
I plan on attending the bake sale on Sunday, and I hope to see some of your lovely faces there!
Event deets:
- What: the Vegan Haven Holiday Bake Sale
- Where: Vegan Haven, 5270 B University Way NE, Seattle, WA 98105
- When: Saturday, Dec. 15 from noon to 8 p.m. and Sunday, Dec. 16 from 10 a.m. to 7 p.m.

Search continues for girl reported lost - Updated 6:01 a.m.Staff Report | May 10,2013Vyto Starinskas / Staff Photo
A helicopter lights up the former WHWB radio tower on the West Proctor Road in Rutland Town at 11 p.m. Thursday.The Vermont State Police issued a press release late last night about the search for the possible missing girl in the Center Rutland-West Rutland area.
Searchers combed the area around West Proctor Road in West Rutland and Center Rutland through the night, according to another press release released early this morning, without locating any girl.
Members of the Vermont State Police Search and Rescue Team, the Rutland County Sheriff's Department, Vermont Fish and Game, the Vermont National Guard and New England K9 have continued their search efforts through the early morning hours of May 10.
State Police Investigators, Troopers from the Rutland Barracks and members of the Rutland County Sheriff's Department have also canvassed the area and checked local residences and schools as well as conducted interviews of residents in the area.
At the time of this release, no juvenile female has been located in the search area nor has the Vermont State Police received any reports of a missing 6 or 7 year old female.
Search efforts in this area are expected to continue during the day today .
This remains an active and ongoing investigation.
According to the first release, State Police received a report at about 5:15 p.m. Thursday of a "possible endangered female juvenile" on the West Proctor Road in West Rutland.
According to the caller, "a female juvenile approached their car, indicated that she had been hurt, and exhibited physical injuries. The reporting party was unable to keep the child at the vehicle and the female juvenile was last seen running into the woods."
Police said the caller said the girl said her name was "Angel" or "Angela." She appeared to be approximately 6 years old and was described as a white female, with dark brown, straight, shoulder length hair, and was missing her left front tooth. She was last seen wearing a red skirt, white t-shirt, white flip flops, and a mood ring.
A hasty search including a police dog was conducted without finding anyone.
Since then the search has been expanded to include members with the Rutland County Sheriff's Department, Vermont Fish and Wildlife Department, Vermont National Guard, Rutland Town Fire Department, and New England K9.
A National Guard helicopter is overhead searching in the area of the Otter Creek between Route 3 and West Proctor Road near Route 4.
A witnesses said police have combed the area along Route 4 from Route 3 to the Sunoco station, including the falls in Center Rutland. Most of the more recent activity was in the fields and woods north of Route 4, and attention was being paid to the area around Wilson Castle as of 11 p.m.
Many area residents have taken to Facebook and other social media channels to swap information, but that has been extremely limited.
A State Police detective at the State Police Barracks in Rutland said all available personnel were out searching for the girl and that no comment would be made on the search until at a later date. An officer with the State Police on the scene said a news release would be issued but no further details were available.
A command post has been established at the Rutland Town Fire Department on Route 4.
Vermont State Police say they have no reports of a missing 6- or 7-year-old girl, and no AMBER Alert has been issued because it does not meet the criteria for an alert, but the case is actively being investigated.
Anyone with any information should call the Rutland Barracks at 802-773-9101 or submit an anonymous tip to www.vtips.info. If you come into contact with a child matching this description, please call 911 immediately.

So, breastfeeding started off well in the first month, but after that my supply went down. I started having some post partum depression issues and it was difficult to get my son to stay on the breast long enough to eat/stimulate milk production, etc. and it became a vicious cycle. I thought my supply went up and we introduced a bottle of BM(because I am going back to work in a month) and the boy seemed to get nipple confusion and refused to nurse at the breast. I am assuming my supply was still low. I tried to get him back on the breast for over a week, supplementing with feeding him BM with a dropper, etc. I saw a lactation consultant and she said my supply was low. I started taking fenugreek and pumping 3 times a day. Things did not improve and I think my stress level went up because I was constantly worried if my son was getting enough to eat. Then yesterday, my supply really seemed to tank and I ended up taking my son to the doctor because he only had 2 barely wet diapers in a 15 hour time span and he would not eat at the breast. He had lost 10 ounces in a day and a half. The doctor stated that I needed to at least supplement with formula, which I really didn't want to do, but given the state of affairs and my mental state, I agreed. I am wanting to try and get him back on the breast, but It seems unlikely. I am seeing the lactation consultant tomorrow to see if anything can be done. My son is 8 weeks old tomorrow.
If I can't breastfeed, I would like to try and exclusively pump.My questions are about what type of pump is good to use if I end up pumping? I have an older model Medela pump in style that does not seem to do a good job.
Also, since my supply is low right now, how often would I need to pump to get my supply up to try and feed him exclusively with breastmilk?
I am trying to not feel horribly guilty about this. I felt so good about having a natural, drug free labor and breastfeeding my son... I guess you never know what sort of curveball life will throw you.

"An indispensable cookbook."
- Jeffrey Steingarten, Vogue
When Paula Wolfert's The Cooking of Southwest France was first published in 1983, it became an instant classic. This award-winning book was praised by critics, chefs, and home cooks alike as the ultimate source of recipes and information about a legendary style of cooking. Wolfert's recipes for cassoulet and confit literally changed the American culinary scene. Confit, now ubiquitous on restaurant menus, was rarely served in the United States before Wolfert presented it.
Now, twenty-plus years later, Wolfert has completely revised her groundbreaking book. In this new edition, you'll find sixty additional recipes - thirty totally new recipes, along with thirty updated recipes from Wolfert's other books. Recipes from the original edition have been revised to account for current tastes and newly available ingredients; some have been dropped.
You will find superb classic recipes for cassoulet, sauce perigueux, salmon rillettes, and beef daube; new and revised recipes for ragouts, soups, desserts, and more; and, of course, numerous recipes for the most exemplary of all southwest French ingredients - duck - including the traditional method for duck confit plus two new, easier variations.
Other recipes include such gems as Chestnut and Cepe Soup With Walnuts, magnificent lusty Oxtail Daube, mouthwatering Steamed Mussels With Ham, Shallots, and Garlic, as well as Poached Chicken Breast, Auvergne-Style, and the simple yet sublime Potatoes Baked in Sea Salt. You'll also find delicious desserts such as Batter Cake With Fresh Pears From the Correze, and Prune and Armagnac Ice Cream.
Each recipe incorporates what the French call a truc, a unique touch that makes the finished dish truly extraordinary. Evocative new food photographs, including sixteen pages in full color, now accompany the text.
Connecting the 200 great recipes is Wolfert's unique vision of Southwest France. In sharply etched scenes peopled by local characters ranging from canny peasant women to world-famous master chefs, she captures the region's living traditions and passion for good food.
Gascony, the Perigord, Bordeaux, and the Basque country all come alive in these pages. This revised edition of The Cooking of Southwest France is truly another Wolfert classic in its own right.

The culinary classic, now completely revised and enhanced with sixty new recipes
The Cooking of Southwest France
"A true culinary zealot, Paula Wolfert champions forgotten dishes, uncovers regional cooking in surprising places, and reminds us of our resources and roots. In writing about the earthy food of France's Southwest, she teaches us how to cook foods that are traditional, slow, and sustainable."
—Alice Waters, Chez Panisse
"No one has broadened our culinary horizons with more generosity, integrity, insight, and charm than Paula Wolfert. Her Southwest France is enchanting, irresistible. If you don't yet know the region, you are in for a treat, and if you thought you knew it, prepare yourself for the new vintage, the best ever from the region."
—Judy Rodgers, Zuni Cafe
"Americans have only recently come to know what the people of Southwest France have known for generations—that the key to great cooking is in its simplicity and depth of flavor. In this book, Paula has taught us to fully enjoy each bite, to share our joy through the food that we cook and serve."
—Thomas Keller, French Laundry, Per Se, Bouchon

In liver tranplant surgery the diseased liver is removed through an incision made in the upper abdomen. The new liver is put in place and attached to the patient's blood vessels and bile ducts. The healthy liver is obtained from a donor who has recently died but has not suffered liver injury. Liver transplants can save the lives of people who might otherwise die.

There is certainly no lack of fundamental changes impacting grain prices that will influence price swings this spring: worldwide economic turmoil, Egypt, Libya and the earthquake in Japan. All of these factors providing extreme unknowns not only to the energy markets, but also to the grain and livestock markets.
The nuclear crisis in Japan may be one of the biggest factors. Imagine what this is doing to economies throughout the world, such as the impact on Hawaiian tourism. Any business that does trade with Japan is making contingency plans.
If anyone tells you they know exactly what this means for commodity prices, they are either kidding themselves or trying to kid you. No one knows what the exact outcome of this volatility is going to be.
A few things we do know:
In times like this, it's best to think more in terms of profitability than it is in terms of price outlook. Whether you are a corn, soybean or cotton producer, in the face of this volatility you're still looking at record profits for this coming year's crop. At these levels, you should be locking in selling prices on 50% or more of production. Profits like this have historically been known to dissipate very quickly. Don't let them get away.
Specifically, new-crop December corn prices in the high $5 and low $6 are offers that should be well above the expected average for the whole crop year.
November soybeans approaching $13 also are at a level that should be substantially above the average price of the year. These are price levels that are also going to be very supportive to farmland values over the coming months and when you add the potential for increasing yields, farming incomes in 2011 will likely be at new, all-time record highs.

OK. Let's see. There are a few things you may want to know about me.
First, I am a professor here at University of Toronto, in the Department of Computer Science. I help to run dgp, the Dynamic Graphics Project. All three of these are great places in a great city.
I guess I have to admit that I am way way way Past Chair of the Department (1998-2004). I would like to announce that I have graduated from chair to stool.
Gord Kurtenbach of Autodesk and I won an NSERC Synergy Award in February 2012. We even let the Governor General of Canada, David Johnston pose with us. And then the Canadian Human Computer Communications Society had the questionable sense of awarding me an achievement award in June 2014. And then again Eurographics decided to elect me as fellow in July 2014. I've been elected as a Fellow of the Royal Society of Canada in September 2014. Someone in 2014 truly has mistaken me for a convincing impostor.
I am the inaugural Director of the professional master's programme in the Department of Computer Science called the "M.Sc. in Applied Computing (MScAC)". You should check it out if you would like a rigorous, research-internship alternative to our regular thesis M.Sc., or if you represent a company searching for terrific graduate student interns.
I am also Past Chair of the SIGGRAPH Awards Committee (2004-2008), and participatied in and chaired the ACM Paris Kanellakis Award selection committee (2009-2012). I co-chaired Symposium for Computer Animation 2008 with Jerry Tessendorf, and co-chaired Pacific Graphics 2011 with Ming Ouhyoung, who did all the work.
Lastly, a long time ago I had a blast as Papers Chair of SIGGRAPH 2001. Paul Debevec created an excellent composite image of the papers committee. A reduced version might be easier on your browser. The papers session included a dedication of the proceedings to my friend, mentor and former supervisor, Alain Fournier. How I still miss his awkward charm and brilliance. You might be interested in an almost surreal picture taken by Paul during the dedication.
And if for some crazy reason you really want to know more about me, you can go to my brief biography.
