                     CSGO Research Seminar
		     ---------------------	
CSGO, the Computer Science Graduate Organization, sponsors seminars to bring 
together students and researchers in the areas of Computer Science and 
Engineering, introducing the students to the researchers and providing a 
chance for the researchers to get to know the students.

Some of the talks during the semester will be given by senior Ph.D students.

There will be one seminar every week of approximately one hour duration 
followed by a question and answer session. 

The seminar is at 10:00 a.m. every Tuesday morning in SAL 324.
		  
Next week the seminar will be:

		ABSTRACT
		--------
Total automation of a wide range of design and manufacturing activities 
has proven more difficult than expected in the pioneering times of
solid modeling. Analytical applications have been tackled successfully, 
but applications that involve synthesis or planning have progressed slowly.

This talk describes recent research on spatial planning for machining and 
inspection. The key characteristic of this work is the use of a hybrid
approach that brings together concepts and techniques from computational
geometry and artificial intelligence. Two planners under development at USC 
are discussed. One extracts machining features from a solid model of a part,
and plans the removal of the associated volumes. The other produces a 
high-level plan for the dimensional inspection of a part with a coordinate
measuring machine. It selects part and probe orientations, and plans 
measurement operations for each setup.

In addition, proposed research on the automatic design and assembly of 
modular fixtures will be described briefly. This new research is a 
collaborative effort with Profs. Bekey and Goldberg, through a NSF 
Strategic Manufacturing  Initiative grant, which has been recommended 
for funding.

Last time I was there (a year or two ago, now), there were several good
Thai restaurants within a few blocks on Vermont.  I actually recall my
favorite being closer to 6th, but 8th or 9th could be right also.  (And
technically, that is in Koreatown, not downtown, but I digress).  Quite
convenient to downtown and USC, but lock your car doors.

One of the more interesting places I've been to is
the VP Cafe at 4814 Melrose in Hollywood (213 663-7079).
On their main menu they offer all the Thai restaurant
standards (pad Thai, mee krob, satay, hot-sour soup,
etc, etc), but they also offer a wide variety of
dishes from the northeast part of Thailand, which
are more rustic (and hotter!) than the standards.

If the experience fires up your enthusiasm for Thai
cooking, you can cross the street to the Bangkok
Market (4757 Melrose, (213 662-9705), where you can
get more Thai foodstuffs than you can shake a stick
of lemongrass at ...

Yikes!  This certainly shows the benefit of calling
ahead ...

It has indeed been a bit since I was there.  I just
called, and was told that the VP had moved or gone
out of business or otherwise endured an ambiguous
fate.  Whoever answers at 663-7079 says they are a
Thai restaurant, but it was unclear if it was in the
same place, and in any case the menu endorsement and
whatnot could not be construed as still applying ...

Try Ginger Brew, available in some Indian restaurants. This is a Jamaican (?) 
all-natural concoction that is pretty good, and the closest thing to ginger beer
I know of.

Two places where it is available: 

1. Mrs Winston's [Fruit & Veggie Store] @ Ocean Park Blvd & 29th St in Santa Monica

2. Chutneys [Indian Fast Food] @ Pico & Barrington in West L.A.

Zillions and zillions, Thai being a food fad that
came, took off its jacket and stuck around.

It would be helpful to know either what part of L.A.
you have in mind and/or what kind of restaurant you
are looking for.  There are a lot of what you might call
glossy Thai restaurants in the upscale parts of town,
whereas there are some very authentic places in the
areas where concentrations of Thai people are greater.

I think opinions would vary depending on what your favorite
Thai dishes are.  I noticed some places do good Pad Thai, some do
good mint leaves, some do good Tom Kah Kai, etc., etc.

My favorite is/was Erawan at Colfax and Magnolia in North
Hollywood area.  There is Erawan 2 on Ventura Blvd which is
supposed to be the same.  They have excellent Chicken curry 
(with eggplant).  Also we like their pad thai.  I've noticed
there are mainly 2 schools of Pad Thai ... reddish and whitish.  
This one is whitish.  Their Tom Kah Kai is not the best, though.
We've been to quite a few in the Valley, the West side, and
southern Orange County, (even Thousand Oaks area), but Erawan 
is still our favorite.

Some other favorites:
Star of Siam (I can't remember exactly... it's been a while) on
Lincoln (east side of street) in Venice or Santa Monica.  Good 
squid dishes.
Chan Dara (I think that was the name) near the Cineramadome in
Hollywood.

I saw an advertisement for Chevy's restaurants in Orange County
(Irvine and Fountain Valley?).  Has anyone tried them?

Chevy's is a popular chain in San Francisco (and perhaps elsewhere),
I think an offshoot of some Texas restaurants.  They sprung up all
over the SF bay area about 5 years ago.  I found them to be a cut
above the regular Mex chains:  high quality meats, fresh chiles in
the chile rellanos, a very nice ceviche salad, good margaritas (if
you like the out-of-the-slurpee-machine type).

I was glad to see that they've spread south, but haven't been able
to try them yet.

The best place I've eaten at is a real pokey place in downtown -- Its on
Vermont and 8th or 9th street and is called Vims (that's the name of a
scouring powder back in the UK, but thats the only similarity).  The
food is excellent and the prices are very good.
I've taken at least a dozen friends along.  Most of them give me funny
looks on the way and think about locking the car door, but everyone has
agreed that its worth the social and cultural vacation.  Even my wife
who was never keen on such food always suggests we pop by whenever we
head off in that direction.
It's not the place for romantic dining, as its more like a dingy cafe
than a restaurant, but its really worth seeking out.
I suggest that you try and find it.

I was thinking somewhere that takes less than 30 minutes of drive from Cerritos

When was the last time you were there, Frank? My sister and brother-in-law
ALSO raved a the VP Cafe.    At, alas, when I went by it was seemingly
defunct. I'll hope that they were only closed for remodeling...

And BTW, I'll second Frank's recommendation of the Bangkok Market--it's a
great place for Asian ingredients, including some decent produce.

Just right next door is another good Thai restaurant called "Ocha".  Their
food is delicious, fast service, and average price is $4.50.  It's usually
very, VERY crowded--seems like most of the patrons live in the neighborhood.
So, they would bring their whole family there, but you don't have a long
wait for the food once you are seated.

>looks on the way and think about locking the car door, but everyone has

I agree.  When I went there with 3 of my girlfriends, we were a bit nervous.
I mean we went there in June, and there were 3 burned buildings across the
street.  The neighborhood isn't that bad now, but go in a big group and try
to make a reservation if you want to go for dinner on Fri or Sat night.

>It's not the place for romantic dining, as its more like a dingy cafe
>than a restaurant, but its really worth seeking out.

"Ocha" is a big place--they got 2 huge dining areas, but it's always packed
when I'm there.  BTW, you can park in the back lot for a small fee.

I'd like to know the opinions of others who went there.  What do you all 
think?
