Photos and caption contest: Today's Greensboro city budget meeting
None of these photos will be showing up in our next issue (which will feature a dirt article about the city's proposed 2013-14 FY budget), but these shots were too good to disappear into the abyss of my iPhoto not to share.
The city held its first of three budget meetings with council and city staff today, and it's a lot of material to go through. Sometimes the meetings are dry, boring or complex (above). Other times, you don't know what to think (below — also notice Chief Miller's expression).
And there are moments of what could best be described as frustration: 
Did you miss today's meeting? Not going to be at the next two? Feeling left out? Don't worry, I have an idea: how about a caption contest for these photos (including the one below)? I didn't mean for any of these shots to be entertaining, but too many of them are and I'm curious what our readers can come up with. Council members and city staff are allowed to participate. GO!

PHOTOS: Guilford College dean takes a dive
Guilford College Dean of Students Aaron Fetrow kept his promise today, jumping into the college's "lake" after the senior class reached 50 percent participation for its senior gift campaign. Students, faculty and staff packed the hill by the campus lake — which, I should add, has a reputation for being pretty disgusting — to watch Fetrow face-plant out of a row boat wearing a suit and then swim back to shore. In the final photo, Fetrow hugged professor Maia Dery. Photos by Eric Ginsburg.
