If successful, the measure would amend Nebraska\'s Constitution to limit annual increases in state spending to the rate of inflation, plus the growth of population. Analysis done by the Nebraska State Education Association indicates that if this measure had been in effect for the 2005-07 biennium, the University of Nebraska and the state colleges would have received $52 million less in appropriations.
Virtually all the money that is being spent to pay for the collection of signatures on this petition was contributed by an organization named America At Its Best, based in Kalispell, Montana. Similar petition efforts are taking place in several states and are being coordinated by an organization from Glenview, Illinois, named Americans for Limited Government.
The resolution of the University of Nebraska Board of Regents states:
"Whereas, a petition drive is aimed at amending the Constitution of Nebraska to cap state spending and suspend majority rule by requiring a two-thirds vote to pass certain budget and appropriations measures;
Whereas, if the proposed spending lid had been in place since 2005, it would have sharply reduced funding for the education of Nebraskans in primary and secondary schools, community colleges, state colleges and the University;
Whereas, the 21st century global economy is a knowledge based economy and the economic vitality of Nebraska depends on the strength of its educational institutions and the education of its people;
Whereas, the quality of the University is dependent on the excellence of its faculty and the adoption of the proposed amendment would severely hamper the University's ability to pay the competitive salaries required to attract and retain excellent faculty;
Whereas, the mission of the University is to make quality education accessible and affordable to all Nebraskans, and the University is committed to being cost effective and financially accountable to the citizens of the state, and adoption of the proposed amendment would reduce alternatives to tuition for funding the University;
Therefore, be it resolved that the University of Nebraska Board of Regents opposes the petition drive to cap state spending and urges all Nebraskans who care about education and the future of Nebraska to refuse to sign the petition."

text: I have been trying foundationless.. I have found one problem but it could be due to my inexperience with honey extraction methods. I finally got honey, and some of the frames are foundationless. I took a hot knife and uncapped them. one kind of bent because the comb is a bit wavy. Well I put it in my extractor and all the comb just spun out. it even broke the fishing wire. so all my honey had little pieces of wax in it and I sadly had to pasteurize it to get the wax to the top. but it still taste good. I will continue to use foundationless.. Why because it is cheap I did have an over abundance of drones. But I will deal with that. any suggestions on harvesting honey on natural comb? minus the idea of putting comb in the jars?

5 Tips for the Ultimate Miami Girls Getaway
As a long time South Florida local who likes to explore the scene and blog about the best Miami has to offer, one of the most frequent requests I get from my readers involves helping them coordinate an upcoming weekend trip to South Beach. (Guess I could give all the Miami party planners a run for their money.) The questions range from help with planning "my best friend's bachelorette party" or "the ultimate girl's weekend getaway" to smaller requests such as "what are the hottest lounges and restaurants to visit" or "best brunch spots on the beach".
Of course Miami is the perfect option for a quick weekend getaway, especially one with the girls, because this city offers everything you could want out of a fun-in-the-sun-filled weekend. Pool parties, endless miles of sunny beaches, foodie hotspots, stellar spas and so much more make Miami one of the best cities in the country.
Okay, so looking to plan your very own ultimate girl's weekend in Miami? Here are my top 5 recommendations:
1. Book your hotel at least 3-6 months in advance if possible; you'll get a better deal! Remember that the summer months are low season in Miami where as Nov. – April is high season.
2. Try to stay on Collins Ave anywhere between 14th - 24th streets; you'll be closer to all the hot spots and easy access to the beach.
3. Book a poolside cabana at any of the popular hotels for your own private pool party – its money well spent when you're looking to treat yourself to a nice, relaxing time.
4. It's all about the details: create a gift bag for all the girls in your group and fill them with fun, quirky gifts (nail polishes, picture frames, etc.) or make a fun music mix you can listen to during the trip.
5. Book a photographer to help capture you and your pals in funny poses and use the pool/beach as your backdrop. It'll be the perfect way to remember your vacation!
A few weeks ago I was able to put my party-planning hat on and take some of my own advice for a weekend trip I planned for eleven of my best friends. I'll walk you through some of the highlights from the weekend where I was able to put some of my best advice to the test.
This year, my friends and I all turn 30 and we wanted to celebrate. So, what better excuse than to celebrate such a big milestone together? Although most of us grew up partying in Miami, more than half of the crew has since moved to other cities all across the country so a weekend in Miami Beach was welcomed by everyone. At the end of the day, we wanted lots of pool/beach time, great foodie spots to eat at, a couple of cool lounges to let off some steam, and most importantly, spend lots of unforgettable moments together.
So what does such a weekend entail? Well, because we were such a big group it was decided early on that we would stay in the heart of South Beach so we could walk to places and have access to lots of venues without having to walk far or catch expensive cab rides. The Surf Comber was the perfect hotel because not only do they have the ideal location, they had all the amenities we needed to ensure a fab weekend; a pretty pool with beach access, nice, comfy rooms, great restaurant for meals and beautiful hotel bar for pre-dinner drinks.
Once we had our hotel picked out, the next step was to make meal reservations at various spots. This included a couple of dinner reservations at Haven, Lantao and Pubbelly and a special goodbye brunch at the ever-popular YardBird Southern Table & Bar. It's always good to call ahead for places on the beach, especially when you have a big group.
The highlight of the trip had to be the time we spent in our private poolside cabana that we rented for the day. The cabana came with our own cocktail waitress who ensured we always had plenty to eat and drink and we had plenty of private space to talk, catch up, lay out and even host our own dance off (thanks to a lively playlist created just for the occasion).
Each girl contributed to the weekend in their own unique way, bringing with them gifts, food and drinks, make-up tips, clothes to borrow, you name it. But one in particular came through with a marvelous idea. She booked a photographer to come out and capture the entire crew (all 12 of us, or how we called ourselves, the dirty dozen) in spontaneous fun poses so we would each have a memento of the weekend to keep (and post on Facebook, Twitter, etc.). This was by far, a fantastic idea and one I would recommend to anyone planning a vacation with friends or family.

A friend recently showed us a really nice hand cream which had simply 'beeswax and mineral oils' under the list of contents.
As we have a whole lot of beeswax at present we would like to make hand cream to sell to our holiday accommodation guests during the summer.
Does anyone have a simple recipe for how to make a good cream?

Thanks, kg. Enjoy the card today! Good times.....
VCU is now at -8 at The Greek. A definite pass for me now. Anybody know anything about this one? I initially foresaw this as a tight game. Now I am thinking I must have missed the boat entirely?
Best of luck today Buddy
Thanks, Casey. Hammer the book!
Looking at the Flashes 2nd half. The Owls can't keep shooting over 60%, can they? Kent has put up an extra 10 shots. Looks like second half success to me. Forced 10 TOs in the 1st....expecting more of the same.
Kent State +1 (-110) 2nd Half
BOL Bruno i took the under 73 2H for that same reasoning also expecting better defense from kent st.
Detroit Pistons Wins - Under 40.5 -125
Chicago Bulls Wins - Under 56.5 -115
Boston Celtics Wins - Over 28.5 105
LA Clippers Win NBA Championship 1000
That works, Raph....I only need 65.....LOL
hah looks like you had the right play. Kent State is giving the Owls the business right now
Evans single-handedly trying to give it up.....his 17 points don't look so good when you factor in his 6 turnovers and technical foul.....in the 2nd half alone....LOL
Good call on Temple, folks! Props to Scootie on a heckuva game.

Meet the Lord of the Dust–in fact the Da Vinci of Dust, the Michelangelo of Mud, the . . . well, meet the Dirty Car Artist.
Scott Wade has traveled to numerous places around the globe, from Istanbul to London, from Mexico to Toronto and more, and has been featured in or on multiple television shows, magazines and websites from around the world, including the History Channel's program, Modern Marvels. Plus, people from other parts of the planet are thrilled to travel where he is "painting" to get an interview, as this outtake of a German television show demonstrates.
Although we'll be happy to give more details later on, here is where the rubber meets the road. Scott is renowned for taking the ugly dust that layers itself on top of car windows in certain climates and conditions and turning this crud into remarkable pieces of art.
"It can take up to two weeks," he says, "for enough dust to collect to create a good canvas, and then I get to transform something that's usually perceived as ugly – a dirty car–into a thing of beauty."
"People's response to my art is almost universally positive," Scott says, "partly because it is so unexpected. Most peoples' reaction to dirt is to wash it off, to get everything clean, and I do something quite different. As time passed, Scott began diversifying, which includes painting storefront windows. Pretty amazing stuff, isn't it? Although Scott's art can be found online fairly easily, the information about him as an artist is limited. So, we decided to find out more…
Birth of an artist
When Scott was young–young enough that he can't pinpoint an exact age–he remembers using his finger to draw pictures on a dirty car window, something that plenty of other youngsters have done. "When I was a child," Scott says, "we lived in Colorado, so I had more opportunities to doodle on frosty windows than in dust, but I did both."
And, even though Scott didn't consciously begin enjoying artwork until the third grade, he was always surrounded by joyful art. His father was a talented amateur cartoonist in the "Dick Tracy style." And, every Christmas, Scott says, "my father would draw holiday images like Santa Claus, a wreath with candles, Rudolph and so forth. He'd copy his drawings at work and then make coloring books for all of the neighborhood kids."
Then, third grade hit. "Mom bought me a book about Frosty the Snowman," he explains. "I really liked the way the trees looked, so I got some paper and a pencil, and then I started to draw. I got a lot of encouragement from my mother and friends, while my father helped me with shading and perspective."
As a young adult, Scott pursued a degree in art from Texas State University. After graduation (in 1982), he began playing music for a living, drumming in a wide variety of genres: country western, rock and roll, reggae, the blues – wherever he was needed. He also took on temporary jobs and illustrated menus, signs, album covers, posters and flyers on a freelance basis.
"But," he says, "I resisted having a computer for a long time. I knew that, if I got one, it would take over everything. Then, one day, Mom showed up at my house with my sister's old Mac. My wife then got Photoshop 3 on 8 floppy disks, and that was that."
He then began transitioning into more traditional graphic designer jobs. Currently, he is the senior GUI designer for AirStrip in San Antonio, Texas.
Whoa, back up . . .
What about the dirty car art? How does that fit in?
Well, by that point in his life, Scott lived by a long dirt road in Texas, where the limestone and clay in the dust clung to car windows, making the glass nearly opaque. "Cars were always dirty," he says. "Washing them was futile, as they'd be dirty again the next day. And, thanks to the influence of my father, I would draw funny faces in the dirt with my finger. I'd try to shade parts of the drawings with the pads of my fingers and use my nails to create finer lines."
Then, about 10 years ago, Scott was gnawing on a Popsicle stick and, when he removed it from his mouth, he looked at the feathery texture and wondered what would happen if he brushed the chewed-up end of the stick against a dirty car window. What he saw intrigued him, and so he headed inside to get his brushes–and that changed his life dramatically. This was, in fact, step one of his becoming the Dirty Car Artist.
Although, at first glance, what Scott does seems like a quirky form of art, he says it isn't, not really. "This medium is almost like any other," he explains. "The shadow inside the car is dark, while the limestone and clay mixture is light. So, there is natural contrast between light and dark and I work off of that contrast."
Scott began attracting attention from other drivers as he drove in a vehicle featuring his art, causing his curiosity about dirty car art to grow. As a consequence, he began experimenting to see how far he could push this medium.
Media attention
Scott would photograph the windshield art that he'd created and then email those photos to friends, who would sometimes pass them onto other people. Through this form of communication, he attracted the attention of Austin American-Statesman writer John Kelso, who'd gotten a forwarded message from someone on Scott's email list. Kelso, a longstanding humorist for the publication, wanted to profile Scott and his art in one of his columns. "My mom lives in Austin," Scott tells Advance Auto Parts, "so I figured, great! Mom will like to read the article."
In conjunction with the publication of the article, several photos of Scott's art appeared on the Austin American-Statesman website. The next morning, he received a call from the publication's photo editor who told him that his photos were "going viral." Now, this was several years ago, remember. "I didn't even know what 'going viral' meant," Scott admits, with a laugh. "It ends up that 200,000 bloggers had linked to my photos in just one hour!"
Shortly after that, the National Enquirer contacted Scott and included a full-page spread of his art in their tabloid; Ripley's Believe it or Not topped that media attention with a two-page spread and the momentum just kept building.
He began appearing on television shows and participating in magazine and newspaper photo shoots, and they always wanted – naturally enough – to see him in action with a brush. Being a gracious guy, he always complied. When one particular television crew showed up, though, cameras in hand, it was raining.
A problem solver at heart, he quickly came up with Plan B. The system that he developed to solve this situation and other ones like it involves cleaning the dirt off of a piece of glass (ironic, isn't it?) and then coating the glass with almond oil; safflower oil, peanut oil and the like just didn't work as well as the almond. He then creates a canvas with a material used as dirt on television shows and in movies. To apply the material, he simply uses a blow dryer designed to dry hair, and then the dust-like particles stick to the oil.
How long does the dirt art last?
A piece of artwork created on a windshield only lasts until the vehicle is out in the rain. And, many times after Scott takes a photograph of a completed piece of art, he simply washes the decorated dust off, calling that one of his favorite parts of the process. Keep on reading to find out why.
Spiritual Connection
In more than one of Scott's interviews found online, he briefly mentions how the temporary nature of his art emphasizes the spiritual notion of enjoying today, as nothing lasts forever.
Wanting to know more, we asked Scott to elaborate on that idea. Did he hold that philosophy before he began his car art, or was it developed because of his car art? Scott pauses before responding with, "A little bit of both."
He continues with, "I've always been interested in spirituality, in philosophy, in examining religions and belief systems. What I've done with dirty cars has given me a much better understanding of the nature of the world, and how things that arise out of form are only temporary. Even the world's greatest monuments, as we speak, are crumbling and becoming dust again."
This knowledge has affected Scott in multiple ways. "First," he says, "I'm humbled. And, I don't take my art quite so seriously."
Other artists, he says, are puzzled by this attitude, wondering how he doesn't identify with his art more significantly and how he can comfortably watch the rain wash his art away – or even hose it off the glass himself! "I understand that point of view," Scott says, "and I can sympathize with it. But, there is so much more to be gained by simply allowing the art to be gone. Through my ephemeral art form, I have learned that very great lesson. I can now focus on opening my eyes to the beauty of the moment, allow that moment to pass – and then be completely open to the very next moment."
Editor's note: while we admire and appreciate Scott's work, we also offer a wide selection of car cleaning products to help you keep your ride looking right. Buy online, pick up in store.

Excerpt: "The morning after returning to practice is usually when a football player knows if an injury will persist. That was the case for Hakeem Nicks Friday.
For the first time in two weeks, Nicks had participated in practice Thursday. He didnt feel pain in his surgically repaired right foot or injured left knee.
But Nicks knew it wouldnt mean much if he woke up yesterday morning and his knee was swollen again, as it was the Friday after he practiced two weeks ago." Read more...

Best news all week. Glad we're looking so healthy. Wish Phillips, Bernard, and Brown were a go, but I'll take what we can get.
I'm super nervous for Sunday's game, but at the same time I'm expecting us to step it up more, especially on defense. If they can keep it close, I know Eli can win it for us.
i have learned to never bet against nicks,,the dude comes to play when he is on the field,,everything else is mute.
Great news. Any word on Bennett?
Hakeem Nicks proclaims himself pain free and ready to go!
GREAT ! We need him ! Run your A## OFF !
lol at the title then the more i read the more i think he still has pain and is not ready to go.

City outlines plans for Bozeman industrial park
BOZEMAN, Mont. - The property between I-90, the Frontage Road, North 7th and Mandeville Lane is mostly flat farmland. But a new plan hopes to change the landscape.
"The economic development strategy was to find something useful to do with that land that helped to create jobs and diversify the local economy" said Brit Fontenot, Bozeman's Economic Development Director.
He said Commissioners recently gave the green light to move forward on bringing in development to the former Mandeville farmland, and partner with the state- who owns adjacent school trust lands.
275 acres make up the North Park Properties. Fontenot said the city owns the north 85 acres, and the Department of Natural Resources owns the rest.
"The property is zoned M2 to the north and M1 to the south" Fontenot said, pointing to a map of the park. M1 and M2 zones mean the land can be developed for industrial use.
Fontenot went over the plans with us on Monday. He said they'll focus on attracting five main industries to the park.
"Manufacturing... biosciences, the high tech industry, the outdoor industry and photonics" he said.
They hope businesses already in Bozeman can build and grow here, and attract outside companies to relocate.
"There are several businesses both local and national that have expressed interest" Fontenot said.
He wasn't able to list the businesses at the time, but said about a half dozen are looking at building.
"It is really exciting to actually have a partner to work with on a project" said Craig Campbell with the DNRC. He said this is the first time the state's joined in a partnership like this, and he's excited at the possibilities.
The only issue? "The lack of infrastructure" Campbell said.
He and Fontenot said the next step is to look at road, sewer and water possibilities.
Fontenot also said "we need an anchor tenant- that's where my focus is at the moment."
They'll work hard to find the first business to take the leap, he said, and build in the park.
Once those industries spring up, Fontenot said it'll create more jobs and spur economic growth.
He hopes to lock down the first business in the next year. The long-term development goal is 25 to 30 years.

That is what the JO's of the "aft tool shed"-the not so affectionate name for the frame 154 eight man bunk room on America used to say when they wanted to get rid of us Department Heads who went there to hide out from the terror in the ready room.
They would say, "nude up" and just start stripping. That got anyone not actually living there out in a hurry.
Today, the S.O. and I went to the Therme Mineral Bad near our village. Its a pretty nice deal-albeit a little pricey. It is kind of like a Japanese onsen-without the same customs as a Japanese onsen.
You arrive and pay your fee. For the two of us it was 21 Euro which paid for 2.5 hours in the indoor and outdoor pool ( both are heated), access to the whirlpool baths, and access to the saunas. More on those later.
You go into a row of changing rooms. Using the arm band they give you-you can open up an empty locker and put your stuff in there once you have changed. They have individual stalls for changing-but they are not broken out by sex. So men and women are "suiting up" into their swimsuits in the same room. ( But you have privacy in the changing stall). once in your suit-you exit the stall and go down the row and find a locker. You put your stuff in the locker-use the arm band to lock it-its pretty cool how it works-and then head on out into the indoor pool area.
We went in the indoor pool-then slid on out in the water via "doggy door" of sorts to the outdoor pool. Given that it was 30 degrees out and snowy-any excursion out side the water ( such as getting out to go to the outdoor whirlpool bath) was "invigorating" to say the least. After trying all the whirlpools and sliding back into the outdoor pool after a couple of quick stints through the snow, we returned to the indoor pool.
After another 20 minutes of so-we worked up our courage and went down to the sauna.
Its actually a series of saunas, set to different temperatures and humidities. However the thing is-that down in the sauna area- the swimsuit comes off. And the changing room where you remove said suit is a mixed gender room. So imagine my surprise to walk in and see a 20 something girl pulling off her top to show me a rather exquisite set of breasts. ( At least they looked that way in the 2 seconds I saw them before turning my head away in order not to be assigned the nickname, gazer.) To say that this threw the S.O. for something of a loop is an understatement. She held back in the entry way-still in her suit-while I wrapped the towel round me and did a recce run to confirm that, yes Virginia, there really are naked women sitting next to naked men in the saunas. So I came back and explained the layout to her-and said that if she was uncomfortable with it, we could go back up to the pool and skip the sauna. Trouble was, she really wanted to get warm in the sauna, so she finally shed her Japanese reticence and disrobed from her suit. ( Personally, I think she makes an eye catching sight when she is naked-and recently opportunities to see her so have been nearly not enough, so I was more than happy she decided in the affirmative. I may be biased, but she still looks great for a woman in her mid 50's. )
So wrapped in our bath towels off we go to the Finnish sauna. Where I had expected to just sit wrapped in a towel-but quickly discovered that people remove said towel to cover the wood seats, leaving one to "hang out" so to speak.
With a moments hesitation, off came her towel and like an beautifully carved statue of Venus, there she sat in her naked glory. Since I was very conscious of not wanting to be branded as some kind of pervert, I quickly learned to keep my eyes averted, looking up ever so quickly and then back down to the floor-or over at the S.O. Who was sitting with her legs crossed.
So we then did the circuit, moving from the 70 degree C sauna up to the Roman Steam bath. ( Which is at 95 degrees and was one I could only stand for a short while-I am not a fan of steam baths finding it hard to breath in them.. Interestingly enough-they had a nice little bar down here-where one could sit in one's bath robe and / or towel and get a beer. ( For the next time-we are bringing bath robes, as many people did).
The S.O. was uncomfortable a bit-but she wanted to "try it all". Wonder if I could get her to try that attitude with other things in life.
After getting nicely warmed-we showered. These had separate stalls-but it was still like a middle aged version of the shower scene from "Starship Troopers". Back to the changing room-suit up and back up to the pool.
We made the circuit once more time-ending up in the indoor whirlpool. After which we decided to get dressed and head home for beer and dinner. The S.O. was actually quite happy with the experience, even the sauna part-and it was kind of nice to be able to sit with her. In a Japanese onsen, she would have been with just the girls and I with the men. Which would have meant no conversation while sitting there soaking up the heat.
Evidently the Germans are more used to this modus operandi. As we were standing in the entrance-a woman asked us if we needed help. We explained our confusion-and she explained how it all worked. Which was what led to my confirmatory recce run.
It was a good way to spend a cold and snowy afternoon. And I got the "Peter Sellers" check in the block.
In the car on the way home-the S.O. said something about "having seen more penis's in two hours at the Mineral Bad than she had seen in her entire life". ( We were talking about the sauna). I couldn't resist a response.
"Clearly you needed to get out more."
4 Responses to "Nude up!"
Skiing trip to Austria – small hotel, only a few people. Naked in the sauna with my male friend, his 70 year old mother and father and his very inquisitive 4 year old daughter. When his wife, one of my very best friends, was on her way down to join us in the sauna, I – won't say I threw the towel in, more that I girded myself more tightly – I excused myself. Altogether too weird. Austrians and Germans will nude up at the slightest opportunity!

Geology Instructor, Alvin Coleman, gave his students options this semester. Students were divided into groups and ask to research and present on a specific geologic/environmental disaster. The oral presentation did not have any specific visual requirements. Alvin left it up to the individuals groups to decide their presenting the material.  Coleman did, however, introduce a new visual tool to his students. Prezi, a free web-based presentation software.
Prezi is non-linear. Think of it as a concept map rather than a typical slide (Power Point) presentation.Â
Perks of Prezi
- Access anywhere, anytime. You don't have to worry about carrying around your flashdrive.
- Real time collaboration- can have up to 3 people working on a presentation at the same time.
- Presentations are stored "in the cloud". 500MB of storage if you join with an education license.
- Ability to download a flash copy of your presentation to your computer.
The design and specfications of the assignment were clear and provided to the students. Coleman also provided a detailed grading rubric in addition to the project requirements.Â
Here's a look at some of the Prezi's groups created….

Leonard Sweet
ChildrensSermons.com announces Rev. Sweet as Chief Writer. Part of our goal in bringing Leonard on is to provide sermon resources, insights, and commentary that are as current, relevant, and "ripped from the headlines" as possible. Leonard Sweet is one of the most prominent writers of our generation and his insights into Scripture and its relationship to current events will add credibility and spontaneity to the sermon writing process.
Leonard Sweet has been described as:
"One of the church's most important and provocative thinkers."
Voted "One of the 50 Most Influential Christians in America" (2006, 2007)
"No church leader understands better how to navigate the seas of the 21st century."
"A writer of vast imagination, poise and charm."
"I can't imagine a Christian leader in America who hasn't read one or more of Leonard Sweet's books."
"Some statistician-types will drown you in doom and gloom. Sweet's message is uplifting, hopeful and relevant."
A Short Bio
Currently the E. Stanley Jones Professor of Evangelism at Drew Theological School (Madison, NJ), and Visiting Distinguished Professor at George Fox University (Portland, OR), Leonard Sweet is the author of more than one hundred articles, 600 published sermons and thirty books, most recently The Gospel According to Starbucks (2007).
Sweet's web-based preaching resources have been used by thousands for 20 years. Founder and President of SpiritVenture Ministries, Sweet is a frequent speaker and conversation partner at conferences both in the US and around the globe. In both 2006 and 2007 he was voted "One of the 50 Most Influential Christians in America" (www.thechurchreport.com). His current projects include a preaching text entitled Giving Blood, The Leadership Myth (with Joe Myers), Pay Attention: Every Bush is Burning, and later in 2007, Outstorming The Perfect Storm.
More on Leonard:
These are but a sampling of responses to Len's three-ring mission: as a historian of American culture; as a futurist/semiotician who "sees things the rest of us do not see, and dreams possibilities that are beyond most of our imagining;" and as a preacher and writer who communicates the gospel powerfully to a postmodern age by bridging the worlds of academe and popular culture.
Currently the E. Stanley Jones Professor of Evangelism at Drew University, Madison, NJ and a Visiting Distinguished Professor at George Fox University, Portland, Oregon, Len has been Vice President of Academic Affairs and Dean of the Theological School at Drew University for five years, Previous to Drew Len served for eleven years as President and Professor of Church History at United Theological Seminary, Dayton, Ohio. Prior to 1985, Len was Provost of Colgate Rochester/Bexley Hall/Crozer Divinity School in Rochester, New York. Involved in leadership positions in the United Methodist Church, Len has been chosen to speak at various Jurisdictional and General Conferences as well as the 1996 World Methodist Congress in Rio de Janeiro. He also serves as a consultant to many of America's denominational leaders and agencies. He is a member of the West Virginia Annual Conference.
Author of more than one hundred articles, over six hundred published sermons, and dozens of books, Len was the primary contributor (along with his wife Karen Elizabeth Rennie) to another web based preaching resource called Preaching Plus. For nine years in the he and his wife wrote all content featured in Homiletics Magazine, which became, under their watch, the premier preaching resource in North America. His best-selling book FaithQuakes (1994), selected as one of the "10 best religion books" and "10 must-read books" of 1994 was succeeded by a new best-seller SoulTsunami: Sink or Swim in New Millennium Culture (1999).
Soul Tsunami was the first in a trilogy of third millennium resources to help leaders come to terms with postmodern culture. The second installment on how to "do church," AquaChurch, was published in 1999. How to "do life" is the focus of the third volume, SoulSalsa: 17 Surprising Steps to Godly Living, which hit the bookstores in 2000 at the same time an original theme song for the book "Soul Salsa" hit the charts (you had to be age six to like it). Each book in Len's postmodern trilogy has its own website and multi-medial components, some of which have already received national awards. One was even nominated for a Grammy.
In 2000 two more books appeared. Postmodern Pilgrims, and the first religion e-book on Amazon.com written as an e-book, The Dawn Mistaken for Dusk: If God So Loved the World, Why Can't We? The e-book came out in an expanded hardback version in the summer of 2001 under the title Carpe Manana: Is Your Church Ready to Seize Tomorrow? In the past two years, five books have been published: "A" is for Abductive: the Language of the Emerging Church (with Brian McLaren and Jerry Haselmeyer); Jesus Drives Me Crazy: Lose Your Mind, Find Your Soul; The Church in the Emerging Culture (with Michael Horton, Erwin McManus, Frederica Mathewes-Green, Andy Crouch, and Brian McLaren), Summoned to Lead, and his two most recent books, Out of the Question . . . Into the Mystery: Getting Lost in the God Life Relationship and The 3 Hardest Words in the World to Get Right. His most current book is The Gospel According to Starbucks (2007).
Founder and President of SpiritVenture Ministries (SVM), in 1995 Len launched Sweet's SoulCafe, a spirituality newsletter for post moderns that was purchased by Broadman & Holman Publishing. Current projects include a biography of Phoebe Palmer in the American religion biography series, a textbook on preaching entitled Giving Blood, The Leadership Myth (with Joseph R. Myers), and Pay Attention: Every Bush is Burning. Len is also working on his first novel (A Postmodern Pilgrim's Progress), and a multi-media leadership resource yet untitled.
Len has served a term on the council of the American Society of Church History, was an associate editor of the Journal of the American Academy of Religion for ten years, and is a member of numerous professional groups. An honors and Phi Beta Kappa graduate of the University of Richmond, he earned his Master of Divinity degree from Colgate Rochester Divinity School and Ph.D. from the University of Rochester. The recent recipient of honorary doctorates from the University of Richmond (Virginia), Baker University (Kansas), Otterbein College (Ohio), Coe College (Iowa), and Lebanon Valley College (Pennsylvania), Len has held distinguished lectureships at various colleges, universities and seminaries, and has presented academic papers before major professional societies. He is a frequent speaker at national conferences, state conventions, pastors' schools, retreats, and a featured columnist for REV magazine.
Len is increasingly being asked to lecture around the world, and has spoken in Taiwan, Hong Kong, Australia, New Zealand, Canada, Brazil, South Africa, Korea, Iceland, Scotland, and continues to speak around the globe.

I have been working on my MOW arena pack. As I have been searching colors and getting things together I have spent a lot of time looking at the pics in the gallery. Now all of the color recommendations have two colors listed (I am not counting the rub-n-buff). However, as I am looking at the pics there appears to be 3 colors to me. Now maybe I have just become punch drunk looking at these things and wanting to get the colors right, but it looks like you have a very light blue on the trim and the armor pieces of the fuel tanks. Then you have a royal/regal blue on the main body. There appears to be a darker blue on the cones and the thrusters.

Instead, you ended up with the Terrible Twosome in Tuck and Umenyiora. How would you have foreseen that? Given their veteran status, what would you have done to have them play up to their expectations? The CBA doesn't allow for a lot of contact practice, hell you can't wear pads most of the time now. I can buy that everyone has a hand in wins and losses, but to give those particular players a pass is really beyond logical.

Never argue with an idiot. They will only bring you down to their level and beat you with experience. MB Rule # 1
Yes player productivity can decline. When you have multiple players mysteriously "decline" in the same year, you have to look at the coach.
Notice that JPP was a force the first half of the season and almost non-existent the second half? Do you think he declined too? Same with Linval Joseph.
One player I can buy ... if it was just CWeb or just Tuck or just Osi or just JPP or just Joseph ... then anomaly. When it's all of them .... coaching.
And you know me ... I've never been one to bash coaches quickly. I've always been a KG supporter (and still am) and I've usually been a TC supporter.
I had to give PF credit for how 2011 ended, but let's face it ... the guy's laurels consists of four games over three years.

text: The .40 is a higher pressure round. It is moving a good bit faster than most 45's ever will so the muzzle flip can get a little...snappy. I like a 40 when it comes to steel frame guns. The lighter poly fame pistols usually have a harder recoil. I have one Browning that's a poly pistol chambered in .40 though and I like it a lot. I go back and forth between 40 and 45 a lot and I guess I'm just more used to it. I really don't notice the recoil much anymore.

Betsy Morgan, '03
Q. What are you currently working on?
I spent the summer of 2013 working on two totally different, amazing new musicals. Found, which was presented at New York Stage and Film, is Eli Bolin and Hunter Bell's new hilarious and touching show. Mrs. Hughes debuted at the Yale Institute for Music Theatre and is the first collaboration between the incredible playwright Janine Nabers and composer Sharon Kenny. I got to play Sylvia Plath—it was pretty awesome. Coming up in the spring of 2014, I will be back on Broadway, and happily not living in hotels!
Q. Could you describe an experience at Emerson that shifted the course of your career?
There has only been one time in my life when I wasn't positive that I wanted to move to New York City and pursue musical theater, and it came right around my senior year. Performing Arts Professor Melia Bensussen was my advisor, and she gave me the confidence to know that I am capable and free to choose any career. That freedom brought me right back to theater. I don't have to live it the way anyone else does. I am free to approach this insane business from my own perspective, and Melia gave me the freedom to not feel pigeonholed or limited in any way.
Q. Could you give an example of how a classmate aided you with your career?
As we were all stumbling (and sometimes falling) through college together, most of the inspiration and assistance that came from classmates was in the form of support, perspective, and friendship. I certainly would not be where I am today were it not for the love and integrity that I learned from my friends.
Q. Are you professionally connected to other Emersonians?
Emersonians are everywhere! Most of the alumni who I have worked with either graduated before or after I did, so the Emerson connection was always a welcome surprise.
Q. What's the single most important piece of advice you'd like to give to Emerson students?
Stay weird! At Emerson, I learned to be my crazy, high energy, unique self, and the more I stay true to that person, the more interesting I am in an audition room and hopefully onstage. Any time I try acting like anyone other than who I am, I end up blending into the crowd. But when I'm honest and open, I usually end up right where I should be: working on interesting pieces of art with intelligent and inspiring people.

Brain Tumor
Brain tumors and conventional medicine
The National Cancer Institute (NCI) and the American Cancer Society (ACS) estimate that 22,020 primary malignant brain tumors will be diagnosed in 2010 (Porter KR et al 2010). The American Brain Tumor Association, since they count both malignant and benign brain tumors, predicts twice as many cases (Jemel A et al 2008). Secondary brain tumors, which originate elsewhere in the body, outnumber primary tumors four-to-one, so add another 100,000 cases a year to get an idea of the total number of people who will be diagnosed with brain cancer each year (Davis FG et al 2001).
The medical treatment of primary brain tumors typically consists of two steps: surgical excision followed by combined radiation and chemotherapy. For advanced or high-grade tumors, the benefit of these therapies seems small. "After conventional treatments, the survival rate for patients with astrocytomas or glioblastomas is about 50% at 1 year, 25% at 2 years, and 10 to 15% at 5 years" (Online Merck Manual, accessed Oct, 2010). Thus, many patients wisely seek complementary therapies hoping to improve their odds.
The risk factors for brain tumor are almost unknown, though there are hints that suggest early exposure to certain chemicals might play a role.
In 2010, the Fred Hutchinson Cancer Research Center in Seattle reported that children who develop brain tumors are likely both to have been exposed to higher than average amounts of pesticides and to have been born with a reduced ability to detoxify these chemicals (Barrett JR 2010, Nielsen SS et al 2010).
Other studies also point to chemical exposure as a potential risk factor. The children of women who had high exposure to beauty-products are at increased risk for brain tumors (Efird JT et al 2005). Personal hair dye use increased risk in one study. Using brown hair dye for 20 years, for example, almost quadrupled risk of glioma in women (Bluhm EC et al 2007). Individuals who engage in a hobby that involves using glue are at 18 times the average risk (Spinelli V et al 2010).
A 2009 review found that people who used cell phones for at least 10 years had a 2.4-fold greater risk of developing an acoustic neuroma in the ear to which they routinely held their phone, but had no change in risk for other types of cancer (Han YY et al 2009).
The idea that nitrosamines in processed meats may increase the risk of glioma has been circulating for several decades (Michaud DS et al 2009), yet a July 2010 paper found only a modest increase in risk in people who ate large amounts of nitrosamines compared to those who ate very little (Dubrow R et al 2010).
There are no tests to predict risk of brain cancer, or steps we can take to prevent it. Our focus is on preventing recurrence, or at least slowing down the disease.
Brain Tumor Nutritional Protocol
Hormones and Brain Tumors
Vitamin D: Vitamin D deficiency that occurred before birth may have set the stage for brain tumor formation later in life. Vitamin D deficiency during gestation causes long-term effects on brain development (Levenson CW et al 2008).
Vitamin D remains important after birth, as it activates chemical pathways, in particular the sphingomyelin pathway, which kills glioblastoma cells (Magrassi L et al 1998). Vitamin D3, the chemical form of vitamin D made in the skin and sold as a nutritional supplement, calcitriol (1,25-dihydroxy vitamin D), the active form of vitamin D, and various chemical analogs and metabolites of vitamin D, have all been shown to inhibit growth and trigger apoptosis in neuroblastoma and glioma cells (Naveilhan P et al 1994, Baudet C et al 1996, Elias J et al 2003, van Ginkel PR et al 2007).
A 2009 report on brain tumor death statistics from Finland alludes to the benefit of vitamin D. Mortality from brain tumors is highest in patients who were diagnosed and underwent surgery during the late winter, particularly from February to March. This is the time of year when vitamin D levels are at their lowest (Hakko H et al 2009). Similar seasonal variations in cancer survival rates are seen for lung (Porojnicu AC et al 2007), breast (Stajner I et al 2010), and colon cancer (Robinson D 2010). The explanation tendered in all these studies is that in the winter people have lower vitamin D levels and are less capable of fighting the cancer.
Another data analysis from Spain revealed a direct correlation between latitude and brain cancer incidence. The higher the latitude, that is the further from the equator someone lives, the greater their risk for brain cancer (Grant WB et al 2007). The further people live from the equator, the lower their vitamin D levels (Genuis SJ et al 2009).
Melatonin: Melatonin is often suggested for treating various forms of cancer, particularly breast, lung and colorectal cancers. Lissoni has conducted repeated studies demonstrating that patients with advanced cancers given melatonin survive longer than patients receiving a placebo (Lissoni P et al 2007).
There is growing evidence suggesting melatonin may be useful in treating primary brain tumors. An in vitro experiment showed that melatonin, at physiologic concentrations, inhibits growth of neuroblastoma cells (Cos S et al 1996). A 2006 paper published in Cancer Research reported that melatonin stopped the growth of gliomas that had been implanted into rats (Martín V et al 2006). As a result, some researchers suggest melatonin might be useful in treating glioma (Wion D et al 2006).
The strongest evidence for the use of melatonin in brain cancer is in treating pituitary tumors. Melatonin given to rats inhibits the chemical-induced formation of pituitary tumors (Gao L 2001). Giving melatonin to rats with pituitary tumors halts tumor growth and triggers apoptosis, especially if the tumor secretes prolactin (Yang QH et al 2006).
Vitamins and Minerals
Folic Acid and 5-MTHF: To be of use in the body, natural folate from food and folic acid from supplements must be converted into the active form, 5-MTHF (5-methyltetrahydrofolate), by the enzyme 5,10-methylenetetrahydrofolate reductase (MTHFR). In certain people the gene that codes for this enzyme produces a less effective enzyme. In some studies, the risk for glioma in these people is increased by about 23% while meningioma risk is more than doubled (Sirachainan N et al 2008, Bethke L et al 2008, Kafadar AM et al 2006).
People can compensate for this genetic problem by taking a supplement of active 5-MTHF and bypassing the need for the MTHFR enzyme.
A German study compared survival times of patients with glioblastoma multiforme with their MTHFR gene variants. Those patients who were best able to convert folate into its active form survived for about 13 months. Those with the less effective MTHFR genes survived for only seven months (Linnebank M et al 2008). This suggests that supplementing with the active form of folate might be helpful.
Selenium: Selenium is another antioxidant that patients with brain tumors should consider. Many oncologists fear that any nutritional supplement classified as an antioxidant will interfere with the ability of radiation or chemotherapy to kill cancer cells. Though this theory sounds logical, there is little published evidence to support it.
In the case of selenium, a 2004 paper in the journal Anticancer Research, reports a "radiosensitizing effect" on glioma cells (Schueller P et al 2004). Exposing brain cancer cells to selenium makes them more sensitive to, and more likely to die after, radiation therapy.
Selenium also inhibits growth and invasion, and induces apoptosis in various types of brain tumor cells, including malignant cell lines (Sundaram N et al 2000, Rooprai HK et al 2007).
Vitamin E: Vitamin E is another antioxidant of particular interest in connection with brain cancer. According to a 2005 study, alpha-tocopherol-succinate enhances chemotherapy treatment of drug resistant glioblastoma cells, increasing effectiveness (Kang YH et al 2005).
A researcher from Tufts University described the use of vitamin E in treating glioblastoma multiforme in a 2004 article in the Journal of Nutrition. "Glioblastoma multiforme is the most common and aggressive brain cancer in humans and resists all forms of therapy. Vitamin E (succinate) induces apoptosis in glioblastoma cells in a dose-related manner; we find that a 48-h exposure to 50 micromol/L vitamin E results in a 15% increase in apoptosis in the glioblastoma cells over control. Pretreatment with vitamin E may have a potential role in sensitizing glioblastoma to radiotherapy" (Borek C 2004).

Starting Position: You and a training partner should have specialized resistance x-pattern resistance tubing with four handles so that two people can use it at the same time; or take 2 pieces of standard resistance tubing with handles and cross them to interlink them and create a 4-handled pattern. You and your training partner should stand facing each other with your feet hip-width apart and the right foot slightly in front of the left to create additional stability; your knees and hips should be slightly bent so that you each can sink into your hips and contract your abdominals (bracing) for additional stability. You and your partner should each position your body with the spine in neutral (normal-to-flat), shoulders blades pulling down and back toward the hips (no shrugging). You and your partner should each keep your chest held up and out, with your heads in line with your spine or slightly lifted. Hold the handles firmly in both hands, palms are facing the ground. Pull back slightly to create opposing lines of pull.
You and your partner should each maintain an abdominal contraction with your feet planted on the floor to create stability through the hips and core. Both you and your partner pull back on the handles, at the same time. The pulling motion should be initiated from the shoulder blades. Pull the handles toward your ribcage. Keeping the elbows wide, engage the upper back and shoulder muscles.
Once you and your partner have pulled the handles back, both partners should hold the shoulder blades back and down. Holding this engagement in the shoulder blades, each partner straightens his or her right arm, as though you are "punching" toward your partner. Keep the left arm pulling back.
Pull the right arm back. Hold the contraction once again. Without allowing any movement in the right shoulder, reach the left arm forward. Keep the abdominals braced and alternate the arm movements. You and your partner should work together to provide resistance to one another while simultaneously pulling back on the bands to maintain tension in the band.
Exercise Variation: Start with slow, steady consistent movements to become used to providing manual resistance through the tension of the rubber tubing. To increase the intensity you can either stand further away from one another to create additional tension on the rubber or increase the speed of the movement to make it more of a power-based exercise.Remember to keep your feet planted into the floor with your abdominals engaged and contracted (braced) to ensure spinal stability.

The College Success course encourages soldiers to enroll in college and to use their National Guard education benefits. The course covers the educational benefits available to soldiers, goal setting, time management, learning styles, memory improvement, study skills, reading skills and test-taking skills.
The recruits will be mustered for this course at one of four locations in the state: Oct. 13-14 at Camp Robinson, Nov. 3-4 at Jonesboro, Dec. 1-2 at Prescott and Jan. 5-6 at Ft. Chaffee. The schedule was developed by Drill Sergeant Robert Butler, who supervises all recruit training in Arkansas.
One hundred and thirty-one soldiers are scheduled for the course, which is taught by Dr. Gary Gaston, Pulaski Tech's military enrollment coordinator.

Bend council: Room tax, youth violence - and a tree
Variety of topics generate debate, but no final decisions
BEND, Ore. - Bend voters could be asked this November whether they want to raise the city's hotel-motel room tax by 2 percent, generating another $1 million-plus a year for police and fire needs, as well as tourism promotion in Seattle and Northern California, and also grants to arts programs through a "cultural tourism trust."
But several months after a sizable group of community leaders first made that pitch, councilors learned Wednesday night that the lodging industry remains sharply split between those who see such a move as positive and others, led by Wayne Purcell of The Riverhouse who oppose hiking the tax to 11 percent (plus the 1 percent state tax), saying they could lose business to other communities as a result.
Backers of the Bend Tourism, Arts & Public Safety Initiative (www.bendtaps.com) range from major developers like Bill Smith and Mike Hollern to former Bend mayor Bob Woodward, former Deschutes County Sheriff Les Stiles and many others. Several spoke to the council about the millions in tourism-generated revenue and thousands of jobs those visitors fund – but the emergency service needs they generate as well.
But that group's placement on the agenda bothered Purcell and several Third Street hotel operators who claimed earlier, during the visitor's portion of the agenda, that there's been no good-faith effort to promote dialogue on the thorny issues since the last discussion in February (indeed, a proposed committee failed to materialize).
Backers noted that cities from Portland (14.5 percent) to San Luis Obispo (12 percent) have a higher room tax, and argued that room rates, not taxes, are the prime motivating factor in where travelers decide to go.
In the end, at a plea from Councilor Sally Russell, the council agreed to do more than just hold a public hearing at their next meeting June 19 on a resolution to send the proposal to voters in November. First, two nights earlier, they will convene a moderated roundtable in an attempt to see if common ground or new ideas are achievable.
Earlier in the night, Bend Police Chief Jeff Sale offered what he called a "Proposal for the Prevention of Violent Incidents," sharing some frightening details about local school threats of youth violence, and the limits federal privacy laws put on authorities sharing information among agencies – coordination that just might prevent such attacks.
Sale, who responded to two mass shootings earlier in his career, is seeking "a proactive solution" to better identify and provide intervention to at-risk and high-risk youths prior to incidents of violence, with a goal to "reduce the risk of these individuals falling through the gaps, strengthen local partnerships, and keep our communities safer."
A tall order, for sure – but one that councilors and others would like to see happen, if federal grant and other funding can be achieved for the estimated two-year pilot project cost of $240,000.
Councilors also talked for an hour about a tree – yes, a tree – and whether a city arborist is right and a Ponderosa pine at a new community garden at NE Ninth Street and Franklin Avenue is a public safety hazard and should come down – or if arborist Wade Fagen (who ran for city council last fall) is right, and it should be saved.
After hearing plenty about it and viewing photos, the council was of a mixed opinion – and with one councilor absent (Mark Capell) and another joining the discussion midway through, the council, acting as the city's "tree board," will revisit the topic later on.

Honestly, I don't care what kind of QB the Giants pick up after Eli is gone, so long as he's good. However, I'm not a terribly big fan of having too many designed runs for the QB. It's just too much wear and tear, and if you're going to pay a guy big bucks I'd prefer that we'd do all that we could to keep him healthy.
Joe Montana brought up a very interesting point today on the radio about running QBs and why they might become less effective than traditional drop back passers: What do you often see a RB do after a big run? Check himself out of the game for a couple plays while he catches his breath. As a QB, you can't do that. You have to stay in the game even if you're winded. And if you're winded, you might not be able to throw the ball as well or possibly even read the defense as well.
I don't know. I just thought that that was an interesting tidbit that I don't think anyone has mentioned before.

I've pointed out product extensions before as a great way to increase AdWord effectiveness. Here's another example of how powerful they can appear in relation to a growing number of product photos in the limited ad space Google provides. U.S. School Supply not only gets the usual blurb with the usual link, but five additional links, photos of product and price listings… all for no difference in the CPC (cost per click).
You can read more about enabling Google Product Extensions here.
Oh, and did you notice the stars in the lower right corner, next to the Pottery Barn ad (PBTeen.com)? That's another neat little trick for increasing conversions from AdWords. It's called "Seller Rating Extensions" and Google claims they get an average 17% higher CTR (click through rate) than ads without them. You can read more about them here.

Lake Shore to seek more grants for County Road 77 trail
The Lake Shore City Council agreed Monday, Jan. 28, to apply for a couple of grants for the proposed trail along County Road 77.
Both grants are for $150,000, with a 25 percent match required from the city on each grant.
If the city received both grants it wouldn't have to fund the match because one grant could be used to offset the other, council member John Poston said.
If the council received one grant, it would be responsible for the 25 percent match. The city has $147,000 in a fund for this trail project. And the council could request Fund 73 dollars from Cass County to fund the match.
Council member Susan Amacher said entities the city has donated to could be approached to donate to the trail project.
Both grants would be through the DNR: the Local Trails Connection Program and the Federal Recreational Trail Program.
The council learned earlier this month that it didn't receive a DNR Parks and Trails Legacy fund grant it had sought.
Poston said the trail team has discussed the limited right-of-way through the middle portion of County Road 77 and the challenges for accommodating a detached trail. The team believes the best alternative would be to reconstruct this section of the road and to incorporate shoulders of adequate width.
Poston said Cass County is willing to add this work to its five-year road plan.
Poston said the road work and trail will create a safer, wider roadway with shoulders. But County Road 77 will maintain its character. The only place that may lose some character is the S curve near Bar Harbor, which would be good for safety, Poston said.
The Trail 77 Team talked about grants at its January meeting. In its last meeting last fall, it was learned the preliminary trail alignment for phase 1 would include some areas with curb and gutter as a vehicle barrier. Some potential easements may be needed, not for construction but for easier construction on side slopes.
The trail corridor will be 14 feet wide with a 10-foot trail and two-foot clear zone on each side. More discussion is needed with Minnesota Power regarding using the existing power line corridor for the trail.

Anne Tolbert has been named acting controller at the University of Colorado at Boulder, pending approval by the Board of Regents.
Tolbert has worked at CU-Boulder in various capacities since 1981, most recently as manager of plant fund accounting and payroll accounting. Her salary will be $73,000 and she is expected to assume the duties of controller on April 25, if the appointment is approved.
Bill Herbstreit, director of financial services and supervisor of the controllers position, said Tolberts appointment comes at a key time for the university because of the pending Administrative Streamlining Project, or ASP, recently begun by CUs central administration.
Because of ASP, I believe that the organization of many administrative units on the Boulder campus is going to change, Herbstreit said. Were looking for someone who can work closely with the ASP program while performing the duties of controller and preparing the accounting department for whatever cultural changes will be necessary in the future.
The controller is responsible for campus accounting and financial reporting in accordance with all state, federal and univerity rules. The position supervises a staff of 55, conducts financial reporting of contracts and grants, oversees accounts payable and campus audits and performs numerous other duties.
Tolbert, a certified public accountant, has an MBA from CU-Boulder, a masters in chemistry from the University of California, Berkeley and a bachelors degree in chemistry and education from Brooklyn College.

More than 100 Master of Fine Arts alumni were featured in January's exhibition on Lesley's Brattle Campus.
Thursday, January 24, 2013
This January, Lesley invited the public to experience the unique interpretations of more than 100 talented AIB MFA Alumni from across the United States and abroad.
"Objectified," the theme of this Biennial Exhibition, challenged the AIB artists to explore the dynamic range of power inherent in objectifying a subject, or conversely, by focusing intently and decisively on a single object.
A planning committee of AIB MFA Alumni orchestrated this group exhibition as a celebration of the diversity and strength of the creative bonds forged in AIB's intensive low-residency MFA in Visual Arts program.
The Art Institute of Boston at Lesley is planning to move to Porter Square in Cambridge, and this exhibit was held on Lesley's Brattle Campus in Cambridge as a way to showcase the work of AIB graduates in the school's future community.
"This exhibition reflects the talent and commitment of AIB MFA Alumni to their program, to artistic expression and creativity, and to their alma mater, Lesley University. AIB is celebrating its Centennial this year and we are very excited to be working with these dedicated and talented alumni on such an important project," said Randy Stabile, Vice President for Advancement at Lesley.
For more information, contact exhibit co-chair Keith MacLelland or call 617.585.6600.
