Hoberman interviews the indie filmmaker http://www.cornell.edu/video/details.cfm?vidID=232 Todd Haynes broke onto the film scene in 1987 with Superstar: The Karen Carpenter Story, a biopic of the anorexic 70s singer acted out by Barbie and Ken dolls. His breakthrough work was the Oscar-nominated, Douglas Sirk-inspired melodrama Far From Heaven, the story of a 50s-era housewife who begins an affair with her black gardener after discovering her husband is gay. In 2007 he released the Bob Dylan biopic I'm Not There. Known for making provocative films that subvert narrative structure and resound with transgressive, complex eroticism, Haynes' work has helped to expose and redefine the contours of queer culture in America and beyond. This Cornell Cinema event was made possible with the generous support of the Atkinson Forum in American Studies. 01:01:46 http://www.cornell.edu/img/video/thumbs/2008/05/haynesTodd-96x80.jpg arts,lgbt Cornell University Tue, 06 May 2008 00:00:00 -0500 http://www.cornell.edu/mediavolume/events/2008/20080325_haynesTodd.m4v Bob Gravani explains how preservation technology can change the form and nutritional value of food products http://www.cornell.edu/video/details.cfm?vidID=231 Sit in on FD SC 150, Food Choices and Issues.

His allegiance is to Liverpool Football Club (L.F.C.)—with 18 league championships and five European Cup titles, the most successful club in English football history. Wearing an L.F.C.-worthy red shirt, Farred—a professor of English and Africana studies who joined the Cornell faculty last fall—shared his lifelong love of his team at the Cornell Store March 28, reading from his recent memoir, "Long Distance Love: A Passion for Football" (Temple University Press). 01:01:01 http://www.cornell.edu/img/video/thumbs/2008/04/farredGrant-96x80.jpg writers,faculty Cornell University Tue, 29 Apr 2008 00:00:00 -0500 http://www.cornell.edu/mediavolume/events/2008/20080328_farredGrant.m4v Lecture by Ken Mayhew, a Luigi Einaudi Scholar http://www.cornell.edu/video/details.cfm?vidID=229 Ken Mayhew is a fellow and tutor in economics at Pembroke College, Oxford University, and a Luigi Einaudi Scholar. 01:27:30 http://www.cornell.edu/img/video/thumbs/2008/04/mayhewKen-96x80.jpg international Cornell University Tue, 29 Apr 2008 00:00:00 -0500 http://www.cornell.edu/mediavolume/events/2008/20080331_mayhewKen.m4v Sparks fly—literally—as CU physicist Bob Richardson lectures on the propagation of electromagnetic radiation (1981) http://www.cornell.edu/video/details.cfm?vidID=228 Sparks fly—literally—as CU physicist Bob Richardson lectures on the propagation of electromagnetic radiation for PHYS 101/102 (1981). Richardson is the Floyd R. Newman Professor of Physics, senior science advisor to the President and Provost, and director of the Kavli Institute at Cornell. His collaborative research with David M. Lee and Douglas D. Osheroff led in 1971 to the discovery that helium-3, a rare isotope of helium, can be made a superfluid, that is, flow without resistance at temperatures close to absolute zero. The importance of this discovery, which has transformed research in low-temperature physics, was recognized in 1976 with the awarding of the Sir Francis Simon Memorial Prize in Low-Temperature Physics by Britain's Institute of Physics, and in 1981 with the Oliver E. Buckley Solid State Physics Prize from the American Physical Society. In 1996 Richardson, Lee, and Osheroff shared the Nobel Prize in Physics. Richardson's 30 years of teaching college physics culminated in his co-authoring of College Physics with Alan Giambattista and Betty Richardson (McGraw-Hill, 2003). 00:36:42 http://www.cornell.edu/img/video/thumbs/2008/04/itc-richardson-96x80.jpg in the classroom,cals Cornell University Mon, 28 Apr 2008 00:00:00 -0500 http://www.cornell.edu/mediavolume/itc/PHYS101-102_richardson.m4v Skorton outlines Cornell's efforts to be a 'green' neighbor http://www.cornell.edu/video/details.cfm?vidID=227 Cornell University President David Skorton spoke to an audience of almost 70 community members April 22 about how the university he heads is trying to be a good neighbor--and a good steward of the planet.

At this point of time, he is our best hope." She was speaking on a panel of five Cornell professors and administrators before several hundred people in Sage Chapel, March 27.

Brunetto Latino (1220-1295) was a Florentine politician and diplomat who sided with the democratically inclined Guelph faction against the Ghibellines. He is famous for his brief poem Tesoretto (of which Cornell University Library possesses a fifteenth-century manuscript copy) and Li Livres dou Tresor, a philosophical compendium under considerable influence from Antiquity, written during his exile in France between 1260 and 1266. Both the Tesoretto and Li Livres dou Tresor (translated into Italian) were significant influences on Dante Alighieri in his composition of the Commedia, and scholars view the older writer as an important mentor of the great poet. Nonetheless, Dante encounters Brunetto in the fifteenth canto of the Inferno. 01:02:42 http://www.cornell.edu/img/video/thumbs/2008/04/brunettoLatino-96x80.jpg lecture Cornell University Fri, 11 Apr 2008 00:00:00 -0500 http://www.cornell.edu/mediavolume/events/2008/20080310_brunettoLatino.m4v #4 of 7 readings in celebration of Poem in Your Pocket Day 2008 http://www.cornell.edu/video/details.cfm?vidID=212 In honor of April's National Poetry Month, New York City is hosting the 6th annual Poem in Your Pocket (PIYP) Day on Thursday, April 17, 2008.
