Lisa Solberg's performance installation art, which clearly is not boring, is a natural evolution. Art is actually life, and I think most people are yearning for a change in perspective, a jolt of inspiration, a fresh breath of air.

Roman Yavich had accepted an offer to work for an investment bank after graduating from CU-Boulder with degrees in economics and business. But he won a Fulbright Fellowship to study the effect of tourism on the Nicaraguan community, economy and environment.

Pretty good for a guy who doesnt think of himself as a cyclist.
