Mayor Kruzan Felon
The original video regarding Mayor Mark Kruzan's shady past was removed from YouTube during the last elections, so here is another even more in depth video about Mayor Kruzan. Please like, comment, and make sure to share!
In October of 1993, Kruzan was arrested for theft and residential entry -- both Class D felonies -- after using a key to enter, without her consent, the apartment of a woman he had been dating, Debora Frazier. In a series of newspaper articles published in The Herald-Times from October 4, 1993, through October 6, 1993, Kruzan made numerous comments and statements to the paper attempting to explain his reasons for entering the apartment without permission from his former girlfriend and for stealing items he had previously given to her. According to a police affidavit, Kruzan also made a statement admitting to removing a screen from the former girlfriend's window "to make her feel 'uneasy and nervous.'" (The Herald-Times, Oct. 5, 1993.)
In a statement read to the editor of the The Herald-Times, Kruzan stated that: "'I deeply regret that it has gone this far. At no time was there intent on either party's part to hurt the other....This incident is the unfortunate product of a long and tumultuous relationship that has involved pain for everyone concerned....I'm embarrassed that an essentially private matter has escalated to this level. My great hope is that some sort of understanding can be achieved by all involved....I'm very aware the public perception will be bad. In my case it will be 'another politician in trouble.' But I have to put personal stakes above political to help both myself and her.'" (The Herald-Times, Oct. 4, 1993.)
Kruzan denied "having emotional problems" and stated that he was "not seeking psychological counseling." (The Herald-Times, Oct. 4, 1993.)
Subsequent to Kruzan's arrest, the Monroe County prosecutor decided to bring Kruzan's case before a grand jury. Shortly thereafter, Kruzan's former girlfriend approached the prosecutor "to ask for a solution that would avoid criminal prosecution of Kruzan." She stated that she had initially pressed charges "'in order to ensure my own safety and out of concern for Mark's mental health.'" Kruzan entered into an agreement, "titled Withheld Prosecution Agreement," which listed eight conditions with which Kruzan agreed to comply, including an acknowledgement of "responsibility" for his actions, an expression of "remorse for creating in her uneasiness, fear and anxiety," and an agreement to undergo counseling. (The Herald-Times, Oct. 6, 1998)
Kruzan did not publicly apologize for his behavior until ten years later, in October, 2003, while campaigning as a candidate for the Bloomington mayor's office.

B-town Bike Scene!
City of Bloomington officials announced a plan to make the city friendlier to bicyclists and pedestrians by 2016!
Image via Wikipedia 2016!? What the hell? Don't these Hoosiers know that the world is going to end next year in 2012? What the hell are improved bike conditions going to do after the apocalypse? Of course I am just joking (or am I?), but still, why will it take so long to improve roads to make them more bike friendly here in B-town? I mean, I am seeing tons of construction and millions of dollars being put into road renovations all over town, much of which I have to navigate through on my bicycle, and even more hoopla being raised about the B-line trail construction every day. So why not funnel some of those resources into improving existing bike lanes and adding more bike lanes NOW rather than years down the road? Why not make the streets and roads just as safe and accessible to those of us who choose not to roll around in steel boxes burning dead dinosaurs and polluting up our environment both locally and globally? I think that every damn street, road, highway and byway in Monroe County, hell on the entire planet, should be made more accessible to those who choose to bicycle or walk more so than those nasty and selfish fossil fuel burning behemoths! But that is just my humble opinion.On the brighter side, the bike scene is alive and thriving here in B-town. From the Bloomington Bike Project to the Little 500, B-towns bike scene is pedaling strong!

Serenade - Ringling School of Art and Design
Fireflies lead us into an enchanting forest, where a magnificant tree is hosting this evening's serenade. At the base, we find a composer adding the final notes to his midnight symphony. Amongst the branches, a worker is diligently carving an insturment from the woods around him. Beneath the moonlight, the piece intensifies as we join the conductor and his orchestra above the canopy of leaves.

Synthesizing Sounds from Physically Based Motion - James F. O'Brien
This video demonstrated our technique forapproximating the sounds that are generated by the motions of solid objects. As the motions of the objects are computed, theirsurfaces are analyzed to determine how the motion will induce acoustic pressure waves in the surrounding medium.
Director: James F. O'Brien
Producer: James F. O'Brien
Our technique computes the propagation of those wavesto the listener and then uses the resultsto generate sounds corresponding to the behavior of the simulated objects. Furtherdetails are provided in our paper in the SIGGRAPH 2001 proceedings.

A brief histiry of Thanksgiving...
A brief history of the REAL Thanksgiving presented from apposing points of views.
For some scholars, the jury is still out on whether the feast at Plymouth really constituted the first Thanksgiving in the United States. Indeed, historians have recorded other ceremonies of thanks among European settlers in North America that predate the Pilgrims’ celebration. In 1565, for instance, the Spanish explorer Pedro Menéndez de Avilé invited members of the local Timucua tribe to a dinner in St. Augustine, Florida, after holding a mass to thank God for his crew’s safe arrival. On December 4, 1619, when 38 British settlers reached a site known as Berkeley Hundred on the banks of Virginia’s James River, they read a proclamation designating the date as “a day of thanksgiving to Almighty God."
Image via WikipediaSome Native Americans and others take issue with how the Thanksgiving story is presented to the American public, and especially to schoolchildren. In their view, the traditional narrative paints a deceptively sunny portrait of relations between the Pilgrims and the Wampanoag people, masking the long and bloody history of conflict between Native Americans and European settlers that resulted in the deaths of millions. Since 1970, protesters have gathered on the day designated as Thanksgiving at the top of Cole’s Hill, which overlooks Plymouth Rock, to commemorate a “National Day of Mourning.” Similar events are held in other parts of the country.The American concept of Thanksgiving developed in the colonies of New England, its roots can be traced back to the other side of the Atlantic. Both the Separatists who came over on the Mayflower and the Puritans who arrived soon after brought with them a tradition of providential holidays—days of fasting during difficult or pivotal moments and days of feasting and celebration to thank God in times of plenty.
As an annual celebration of the harvest and its bounty, moreover, Thanksgiving falls under a category of festivals that spans cultures, continents and millennia. In ancient times, the Egyptians, Greeks and Romans feasted and paid tribute to their gods after the fall harvest. Thanksgiving also bears a resemblance to the ancient Jewish harvest festival of Sukkot. Finally, historians have noted that Native Americans had a rich tradition of commemorating the fall harvest with feasting and merrymaking long before Europeans set foot on their shore.
