communiplexity » Brownbag Seminar 08 » discussion » Newton / New College renewal project in Sarasota: "-I wonder what it is about tutoring that appeals to those who suggested it, and I wonder if it appeals to the youth who are expected to benefit from it. I wonder where the assumption that tutoring would best be provided through programs came from, and whether that is an assumption worth questioning. And maybe relationships between Newtown teens and other Newtown residents would be preferred or most ideal, at least for some -- and if so, what are the implications given the active enthusiasm of NC students?"

Dear Eric,

On Thursday, April 17 at 7:30 PM, the Tampa Theatre will feature the premier showing of Seminole Heights: An Intimate Look at the Early Years, produced by the Old Seminole Heights Neighborhood Association. 
 
We wish to express our deep gratitude to our four major financial sponsors, without whose generous support this event still would be a wistful dream.
 
We also received donations from many loyal friends too numerous for mention here, but whose openhearted support of this event will be personally acknowledged.
 
See the development of this trolley car suburb of Tampa, Florida in the early decades of the 20th Century. Hear tales of growing up during the Great Depression when material goods were scarce, but backyard vegetable gardens and warm camaraderie kept bellies full and spirits high. Take a peek into the lives of the folks who made Seminole Heights the charming place it remains today.
 
Tickets are $5.00. Purchase tickets through April 15th at Sherry's YesterDaze Vintage Clothing and Antiques at 5207 N. Florida Avenue, and at Tampa Antiquarian Books, at 6116 N. Central Avenue, or online at  The Tampa Theatre.
 
If you lived in Seminole Heights prior to 1945, you get in for free and may sit, with your family of course, in a special seating area so you can visit with your old friends! Just go to the box office on the night of the event to be admitted.
 
For more information, call Suzanne Prieur at 813 610-5255.

Re: Complexity & Community Sustainability Brownbag/Seminar March 26

Hi Dr. Teague,
Thank you for the interesting discussion yesterday.  I was very tempted to bring this up then but decided we should meet privately instead.   Please schedule a time we can talk more.  I could really go on for days giving you background, but I will try to be brief.

I started at USF in 1983 developing my own Patents as student projects for the Engineering Expo.  Then started a student group to help others do the same thing.  This resulted in a serious conflict between Dr. Newkome and Walbolt in the President's Staff meeting as the new State mandates for faculty patents had just come through...  Subsequently the Research Foundation was started and STARS USA Inc.

I graduated and became a stormwater expert before returning to USF for an MBA in 2004.  My first MBA class was "Leadership and Teams."  The class project was a system redesign.  I lead a team to redesign USF's Patent Process....  and soon found out the professor was the President's Assistant during the 1983 conflicts.

Emergence and synchronicity is really my way of life.  I guess I am a "strange attractor" that helps bring new innovative emergence everywhere I go.  It's not always easy, but I seem to do it whether I want to or not.

More specifically I posted to the WIKI about a Phd I will start in the Fall 08:
http://communiplexity.wikispaces.com/message/view/Brownbag+Seminar+08/3110025

I would like to discuss this further with you.  Please send me a note about when we can meet.  Monday, Wednesday or Friday mornings are easiest for me, but I will certainly come visit whenever you have time. 

Thanks
eric

"interdisciplinary" the politically correct "buzz-words"

Yes Congratulations!!!!

The one thing I learned here more than anything is that it often can be more WHO you know more than WHAT you know... So I would highly recommend we all get linked up better: www.linkedin.com/in/stars2man

Look around Manny and Mark are linked already...

Even if we all go somewhere different our contacts and relationships make more of a difference than anything... course being at the right place at the right time can make everything too: http://www.ods.usf.edu/Plans/Strategic/goals-strategies.htm

Hey Barrett and Phil, glad to see you are sure about what's next, see below I'm still exploring... lol... hum "interdisciplinary" what's that all about... lol... I guess someone has to show them what the politically correct "buzz-words" mean..

Take Care

Fwd: RE: Friday-Monthly Meeting Reminder

Hi Dr. Gorski,

It was good to meet with you again on Wednesday at USF.

We will be reviewing the videos of Sunday's Science of Consciousness Seminar Monday so I might have something together for you within the week.

I know I also promised I would give you information about the next Urban Charrette meeting. I just received this reply, but am not sure when the next meeting is.

You might enjoy this too
Enjoy your weekend
eric
