 | Tig Notaro w/ Left Right Tim (Multi-Day Event)
End Time 12:00 AM
Program Council (http://www.programcouncil.com) is proud to host stand-up comedian Tig Notaro in Old Main on Wednesday, Feb. 23. Notaro is best known for her featured performance on Comedy Central and for her character on The Sarah Silverman Program, and will be bringing her notoriously deadpan humor to the intimate setting of Old Main.
“Tig Notaro seems poised for a breakout in 2011. She’s not a young comic, but she’s been getting more and more exposure recently on shows like The Benson Interruption, Community and the Sarah Silverman Program, not to mention some of the best comedy podcasts around: Comedy Death Ray, Doug Loves Movies, WTF with Marc Maron,” said Jay Cridlin of the Tampa Bay Times.
It didn’t take long for this alternative comedian’s career to develop. Born in Mississippi and later moving to Texas, a lot of Notaro’s comedy is about her family, which she refers to as a collection of “storybook-type characters”, as well as chance encounters she has around town. After dropping out of high school, she moved in with two friends who had decided to attend college. The trio moved to Denver, where Notaro became involved in the music industry as a band manager under the name “Tignation Promotions”. Her work promoting bands brought her to Los Angeles, where she tried stand-up for the first time.
Before long, Notaro became a hit around local open mic nights, and met fellow comedian, Sarah Silverman. Notaro was then cast as a gay police officer with the first name Tig on the Sarah Silverman Program, though the name Tig was originally bestowed upon her by her brother when they were both children. Notaro was recently signed to Secretely Canadian Records as the label’s first ever comedy signing, and is currently working on shows for Comedy Central and Logo.
Tig Notaro’s show at Old Main will be at 8:30 p.m. on Wednesday, Feb. 23. Tickets are $5 online for CU-Boulder students (with a current student ID) and $10 for the general public. Tickets at the door will go up to $10. Tickets can be found online at http://www.programcouncil.com.

 | Highlights of the Collection: Charles Partridge Adams Paintings
10:00 AM - 5:00 PM
The CU Art Museum presents two paintings by the noted Colorado landscape painter Charles Partridge Adams, including a never-before-shown, large-scale painting of Rocky Mountain scenery near Estes Park, titled Sunrise on the Mountains, circa 1920, recently conserved by the CU Art Museum, and gifted to the museum’s permanent collection by the artist’s sons. The exhibition will also feature the more intimate Untitled (Mountain Landscape), circa 1920, which likely depicts Moraine Park. Born in Massachusetts, Charles Partridge Adams moved to Denver at the age of 18 and eventually became perhaps the most prolific and well known of the turn-of-the-century Colorado painters. Receiving artistic encouragement from Helen Henderson Chain, herself a pupil of George Inness, Adams shied away from the grandiose style employed by his contemporaries, preferring to accentuate the emotive in his landscapes and ushering in a long tradition of modernist landscape painting in the Rocky Mountain region. |
 | Highlights of the Collection: Selections from the Andy Warhol Photographic Legacy Program Gift
10:00 AM - 5:00 PM
In 2008, the CU Art Museum received 156 photographs by Andy Warhol as a gift of the Andy Warhol Foundation for the Visual Arts as part of the Andy Warhol Photographic Legacy Program. The CU Art Museum will premier 112 of the gifted photographs which include Polaroids and gelatin silver prints featuring celebrities such as Martha Graham, Pelé, and John Denver, as well as portraits of patrons, friends, and anonymous models. Included among the gifted gelatin silver prints are also landscapes and interior settings, both rural and urban, which reveal an aesthetic of the banal as well as the transcendental. The photographs provide valuable insight into the artist’s blurring of the distinction between “life” and “art” and his construct of “the celebrity.” The exhibition includes 80 Polaroids and 32 gelatin silver prints taken by the Pop-Art master.
Concurrent Exhibition: Warhol In Colorado, an exhibition featuring screen prints, photographs, record album covers and other works by Andy Warhol, will be on view at The University of Denver’s Victoria H. Myhren Gallery from January 20 to March 13, 2011. Also included are 55 Polaroids and silver prints gifted to the university by the Andy Warhol Photographic Legacy Program in 2008.

Finding Structure in the Muck: Bayesian Models of How Kids Learn to Use Verbs
Chris Parisien -University of Toronto
In this talk, he will present a series of hierarchical Bayesian models to explain how children can acquire and generalize abstract knowledge of verbs from the language they would naturally hear. Using a large, messy corpus of child-directed speech, these models can discover a broad range of abstractions governing verb argument structure, verb classes, and alternation patterns.

 | CAS Event: "Integrated Action of Counterinsurgency & Rural Economic Development for Stable Afghan"
5:00 PM - 6:30 PM
Afghanistan faces enormous challenges due to more than 30 years of war, civil unrest and recurring natural disasters. This rugged, landlocked and mountainous country remains one of the poorest in the world, with more than half the population living below the poverty line. So, what are the alternative solutions to bring this unproductive population in an economic mainstream of the society?
Dr. Jha is trying hard to create an innovative model, which can be sustainable and techno-economically feasible and replicable for bringing faster economic development in Afghanistan. He has closely watched Afghan people, their culture, governance, infrastructure and various USAID and other donors programs. For the implementation of USG program and strategy, there is a need to provide capacity building training to Afghan extension personnel's who can learn and disseminate appropriate knowledge, skills and technology in fast pace across the country. |
