It is with great sadness that I have to announce the sudden death of Paul Whiddett who collapsed and died of a brain hemorrhage on the 8th of May. He left four children, two boys and two girls; Paul’s wife had died some years ago. He was a keen collector & had a big collection of rare lamps; he also bought and sold lamps, keeping only the best. He worked mostly from home repairing and servicing cars. For many years he and I used to travel together to the French and Belgian meetings and he will be sorely missed by his many friends at home and abroad. (Keith attended the Thanksgiving Service at New Life Church, Biggin Hill, on April 23rd.) From Dr. Charles Smith: I’m so very sorry. Paul and I have known each other for many years, but like many European collectors, we never met personally. Still, he is regarded as one of my best friends. I’m sorry I wasn’t able to say “Goodbye” and that I cared about him. He knows however. Thanks for giving me this very sad news. -

Executive Committee Meeting 6:00 pm, November 22, 2008 Marriott Rivercenter Hotel Attendees: Steve Pope, Lex Smits, Phil Marcus, Ellen Longmire, Juan Lasheras, Anette Hosoi, Laurette Tuckerman, Jim Brasseur, Paul Steen, Minami Yoda, Martin Maxey, Jean Hertzberg, Monica Malouf, Ken Kiger, Sharath Girimaji, Krishnan Mahesh, Gary Leal, Bill Schultz, Andrea Prosperetti, Julian Domaradzki, Jim Duncan, John Foss, PK Yeung, Ann Karagozian, Lance Collins, Kimberly Hill, Peggy Holland, Jason Bardi (AIP) Note: Attachments related to agenda items follow the order of the agenda and are appended to this document. Key Decisions The ExCom voted to move $100k of operating funds to an endowment for a new award. The ExCom voted that a new name (not Otto Laporte) should be chosen for this award. In the coming year, the Award committee (currently the Fluid Dynamics Prize committee) should establish the award criteria, making sure to distinguish the criteria from those associated with the Batchelor prize. The committee should suggest appropriate wording for the award application and make a recommendation on the naming of the award. The ExCom voted to move Newsletter publication to the first weeks of June and December each year. The ExCom voted to continue the Ad Hoc Committee on Media and Public Relations for two more years (through 2010). The ExCom voted that $15,000 per year in 2009 and 2010 be allocated for Media and Public Relations activities. Most of these funds would be applied toward continuing to use AIP media services in support of news releases and Virtual Pressroom activities related to the annual DFD meeting.

Whether the can machines that make up part of Petitioner’s material handling and testing system constitute production equipment and are thus eligible for the exemption from sales tax provided by Section 1115(a)(12) of the Tax Law. 3. Whether Petitioner’s electrical transformer is also eligible for the exemption from sales tax as provided by Section 1115(a)(12), and if not, whether the transformer, as installed, is a capital improvement to real property, property or land within the meaning and intent of Section 1101(b)(9)(i) of the Tax Law.
