All meetings are open to the public. The Board is composed of five members, each elected annually. Members of the Board of Selectmen are Harry C. Christensen, Jr., Judith R. Jacobi, Jackie Belf-Becker, James E. Nye and Jeffrey N. Shribman. Harry Christensen was elected chairman during the Board’s annual reorganization meeting in May. Following are some of the many matters that came before the Board during 2006: The municipal website www.marblehead.org was activated for public use. The website contains information on town government, public meetings and other municipal records. The five corners sidewalk improvement project which made the area wheelchair accessible was completed; this project is located at the intersection of Atlantic Avenue, Washington, School and Essex Streets and involved new sidewalks, accessible curb cuts and new signage. This year a limited edition reproduction of "The Spirit of 76" was created under the authority of the Board of Selectmen. The prints were available for sale with the proceeds being donated to the War Against Terror Memorial Fund to create a monument to honor the victims of the September 11th attack and the War on Terrorism. The monument was dedicated on Veterans Day in Memorial Park. This year the long term lease for the concession stand at Devereux Beach expired. In accordance with M.G.L. Chapter 30B, the town issued a request for proposals for the property. The lease was awarded to Paul and Louise Petersiel owners of the Red Rock Bistro in Swampscott. The Petersiels have named the concession stand Lime Rickey’s. The Board wishes the new lease holders the best of luck. Additionally the Board would like to thank Pam and Jeffrey Flynn of the years that they operated Flynnies at the Beach. 4 BOARD OF SELECTMEN Continued participation by the Town in the HOME Consortium Housing Program. In 2006, funds through this program were made available to low and moderate income first time homebuyers for down payment assistance. This program has worked in concert with the affordable housing which has been created through the two MA G.L. Chapter 40B housing developments: Oliver’s Pond and Marblehead Highlands. Winning the Energy Star 2006 Change a Light Change the World competition. Thanks to the efforts of its citizens Marblehead pledged to change 4,262 incandescent light bulbs to energy saving compact fluorescent bulbs. Marblehead won the competition against the Town of Swampscott. In preparation of the upcoming retirement of Marblehead Police Chief James Carney, the Board elected to hire a consultant to conduct sole assessment center as governed by Massachusetts Civil Service Commission. The Board wants to recognize and thank the countless volunteers throughout the Town government and local philanthropic organizations that spent substantial amounts of their personal free time working for the benefit of Marblehead as well as all of those who contributed financially to the various funds established for the benefit of the Town. Without the dedication, involvement and generosity of these volunteers and her citizens along with the efforts of our town employees, Marblehead (and its local government) certainly would not be as special and the wonderful place in which we currently live and are proud of. The Board thanks Dr. Raymond F. Cole, Jr. for his gift to the town of his collection of maritime memorabilia along with a $250,000 donation for the room’s upkeep. The Board also wishes to thank the Marblehead Harbor Rotary Club for the generous gift of a sound system for the Abbot Hall auditorium. Additionally, the Board appreciates the effort and dedication of the volunteers who established and maintain Hamond Park the birthplace of marine aviation. The Board of Selectmen and the staff extends their gratitude to Pat Charbonnier, who took a temporary leave from her retirement to assist us this summer. 5 MARBLEHEAD TOWN REPORT The Board also thanks Anthony M. Sasso, Town Administrator; Rebecca Curran, Town Planner; and the office staff: Ursula M. Kretschman, Patricia Cerrutti and Deborah Fadden for all their assistance this past year and extend our best wishes and thanks to the all of the citizens of the Town of Marblehead whom we faithfully and conscientiously strive to represent. Marblehead Forever! Faithfully yours, Harry C. Christensen, Jr., Chairman Jackie Belf-Becker Judith R. Jacobi James E. Nye Jeffrey N.

  • Image Enhancement in Digital X-Ray Angiography
    Image Enhancement in Digital X-Ray Angiography Erik Meijering Colophon This book was typeset by the author using LATEX2ε. The main body of the text was set using a 10-points Computer Modern Roman font. All graphics and images were included formatted as Encapsulated PostScript (TM Adobe Systems Incorporated). The final PostScript output was converted to Portable Document Format (PDF) and transferred to film for printing. Cover design by the author using CorelDRAW (TM Corel Corporation) version 8. The background is a colored fragment of a slice taken from a clinical 3DRA dataset. The graphics on the front cover symbolically represent the contents of the different chap- ters: the vector field (in red) refers to the problem of patient motion registration and correction in DSA, addressed in Chapters 2, 3, and 4; the circles and arrows (in green) represent the tasks of visualization and subsequent quantification of blood vessels and their anomalies in 3DRA images, which constitute the subject of Chapter 5; finally, the plot (in blue) portrays the realization of the sinc-like kernel implicitly used in cu- bic spline interpolation, which according to the results of the comparative evaluation study described in Chapter 6 is the method of choice for geometrical transformation of medical image data.
