[GSBN] Pete Walker, BRE Centre for Innovative Construction Materials

[Tim Owen-Kennedy]

Is it possible that it only takes two seconds to secure a nomination?  
Less is more in email as well.

Also, are there gaps in our globalness that we should be seeking to  
fill? How about any gaps in our intelectual globalness? Do I know that  
this message will lead to more not less?

Just a thought from California whine country,

Tim
