Dr Fairclough was introduced to Chiropractic during his early teens, when he sought help for 'growing pains'. After experiencing first-hand the amazing benefits of treatment, he soon set his sights on becoming a Chiropractor himself! Ten years later, he graduated from the Welsh Institute of Chiropractic at the University of Glamorgan, where he excelled in his academic studies.
During his time at university, Dr Fairclough developed a special interest in the treatment and rehabilitation of sports injuries. In his first three years of practice, he grew a very successful Chiropractic practice near Birmingham. However, despite getting excellent results, he felt he could be doing more to improve the long term quality of life of his patients.
After a year-long sabbatical spent travelling around the world, he returned with a commitment to practice using a truly multidisciplinary approach. He has a passion for the Care for Health model - where Chiropractic and Physical Therapies are integrated to get the best and most lasting results for patients. He regularly receives Chiropractic wellness treatment to keep him performing optimally in the sports he loves - football and squash.
Dr Fairclough is a keen hiker and camper and has completed many world treks including a solo trek through the world's oldest rainforest, the world's deepest canyon, and the 4 day Inca trail. Other notable achievements include cycling through the world's driest desert, and down the world's most dangerous road!

The Dakine Stubby Driver Snowboard Tool is by far the smallest snowboard tool on the market today. It has a phillips and flathead screwdriver bit and a small ratcheting system to help with quick fixes on the hill. The only downfalls to it are that it is so small that it's often difficult to use with gloves or mittens on. Also, it's a unique small shape, so if you fall on it, you're going to get a bruise. I got a pretty gnarly Charlie horse from it, so I'd recommend putting it somewhere where you're not likely to fall (like lower on a pant leg. Even so, it's still worth having on the mountain for the odd time where a screw gets loose or you need to make a binding adjustment.
Stubby Driver
This tool is very handy, especially on the mountain. I carry it with me and use it just in case. It is small and weightless and allows me to skip the tool line on the mountain.
I love this driver, it's portable, and won't fail you like the cheaper dakines. I have found one thing that p***es me off. As a shop employee for years, I know that a very large percentage of binding bolts are a #3 philips and a few are #3 posi-drive, THERE IS NO #3 PHILIPS!!!!!! almost all bolts are 3# philips!!!!!!! so if you buy this driver, and don't want to strip your heads, buy the tech driver, and throw the #3philips on this driver for its portability.
I bought this in case I needed it on the mountain after reading reviews on stuff coming lose. I opened it tried it out, then realized its the same screw driver my girlfriend got from home depot for under ten with more bits and even sockets!
This tool is a good one to just have in the car for when ever you need to tighten the bindings or take them off for swithching boards. Overall a great buy.
I got this tool last year, and it has saved me a few times on the mountain. Nothing is worse than making all of your friends stop while you find a screwdriver somewhere. It is a little bulky in your pocket, but its really durable. I had a torque driver from another company, and it has fallen apart. You also get a lot of torque from this little guy, my bindings don't loosen up on me during the day.
This thing feels like it's been made well. It has a built in ratchet which is nice...it makes screwing things on with a glove alot nicer. The best part is you can carry this anywhere while boarding/skiing and not have to worry about getting stabbed in the leg because the screw bits are detachable and are stored in the butt of the handle.
I got tired of waiting to use the crappy tools at the lifts so I picked up one of these. definitely worth the investment. I even use it when I'm at home tuning my stuff since I keep it in my snowboarding jacket. its small enough to where I dont even notice it.
I like how small this thing is. It's pudgy and fits in your pocket. Longer drivers can pinch you if you bend. Works like any screwdriver and has extra drive bits. Another good DaKine product.
This tool is very handy to have, can easily be put in your pocket on the slopes. It has various attachments to fit any type of screw. Just make sure you use the longer phillips-head for your bindings or your bindings will come loose while riding
I have this tool and the dakine mega blaster. The built on this one is so much better! I leave the standard philips head out while on the mtns and it doesnt fall out, not even in my bag! on the other hand, all the screw drivers on the mega blaster falls out of its compartment when turning. with this tool, I never had to wait on line till other people finishes using the tools from the mtns.

The Montgomery County Council will soon consider whether to expand the county's ban on smoking. Proposed by Councilwoman Nancy Floreen—who battled breast cancer last year—the new legislation would outlaw smoking on all property owned or leased by county government.
Floreen (D-At large) of Garrett Park plans to submit the bill Nov. 27, and a public hearing has been tentatively set for Jan. 15.
Here's a look back at some of milestones in Montgomery County's crackdown on tobacco:
1986 - Smoking banned from Metro stations and most county government workplaces.
1988 - Smoking banned from rest rooms, auditoriums and the public areas of offices, retail stores, banks and other private businesses.
1992 - Tobacco products banned from most vending machines.
1999 - Smoking banned in all restaurants. The measure was declared invalid in 2003 because of a procedural issue, but quickly reinstated.
2011 - Smoking banned from playgrounds, hallways, laundry rooms and other shared areas in apartment complexes.

Duty to Consult: more BC legal folly
Bill Gallagher: Strategist / Lawyer / Author
Resource Rulers: Fortune and Folly on Canada's Road to Resources
A decade has passed since the Supreme Court of Canada first applied the Duty to Consult doctrine in a case that involved a Tree Farm License on Haida Gwaii. The failure to consult in that instance started the ball rolling on improving dialogue in the resources sector (or so one would assume) but recent rulings show otherwise.
Here's a snapshot of a cluster of BC rulings a decade later, in the span of less than one month, notable for more legal folly on BC's road to resources:
June 5 2014: The inadequacy of the Province's consultation with Fort Nelson First Nation (FNFN) created the potential for conflict between FNFN and the Province's licensees. When the Province failed to warn the plaintiff of Mr. Behn's expressed intention to stop logging, it put the plaintiff on a collision course with Mr. Behn and FNFN. (Moulton Contracting v B.C)
June 4 2014: While appearing to listen the Crown was, in my view, in fact locked into its position from the beginning and ultimately closed the door to further discussions, advising the Nations the OCP had to be approved before the election writ dropped, thus foreclosing any further consultation. (Squamish Nation v. BC)
May 14 2014: I am satisfied that the Crown had a duty to consult Ehattesaht prior to making the Decision to return 75% of the TFL 19 Undercut to the inventory of TFL 19. As the Minister did not consult Ehattesaht, the Decision is quashed. (Ehattesaht First Nation v. BC) (author's underlining)
Each ruling tells its own story of just how poorly the Provincial Crown is faring in the consultation department: from injunctions (Moulton) to land use plans (Squamish) to yet again, Tree Farm Licenses (Ehattesaht). Clearly there remain some serious chokepoints in the BC government's execution of its duty to consult.
Thus the stage is set for the Prime Minister to issue his career-defining decision on the Northern Gateway Pipeline Project, that has to happen by June 17 (rounding out the month) but these ill-timed legal lapses by the BC government certainly don't make his decision any easier. Indeed as a direct result, BC's legal incompetence should become part of that embattled project's decision-making matrix.
How could it have come to pass, that with all the priorities in play around this key federal infrastructure priority, that the BC government would be so caught-out in failing its duty to consult obligations to natives (and by direct implication to both industry and to the public)? Moreover how could a Tree Farm Licence be part of this testament to bureaucratic ineptitude a full decade after the Supreme Court of Canada's Haida clarifications?
Perversely the only good news in this cluster of legal folly is the duty-to-warn of blockades, because if BC keeps this up, there's going to be a lot more of them.

The American political atmosphere might be polarized when it comes to climate change, but new evidence suggests that the public is more passionate about energy's impact on the environment than one might think.
A new survey from the University of Michigan Energy Institute found that 60% of respondents worried "a great deal" or a "fair amount" about the environmental impact of energy use. By comparison, 55% worried a great deal or fair amount about energy affordability. The two concerns, researchers say, were basically equivalent.
"That was an eye opener for us," says professor John DeCicco. "I wouldn't have guessed that we would have gotten, statistically speaking, an equally strong response." More>

Montgomery County Animal Control is calling the living conditions of 15 pit bulls at a Clarksville home a clear case of abuse.
Michael Robinson, the man who owns the dogs, has been convicted of 15 counts of animal cruelty. Robinson has yet to give up the animals and even threatened to shoot our news crew.
Animal control officials said Robinson's Marla Circle home has been under investigation for the past year.
"They had the minimum amount of food, the minimum amount of water and the minimum amount of shelter," said Tim Clifton, director of Montgomery County Animal Control. "From what I could tell, it was very poor conditions."
Robinson's neighbors told Channel 4 they've long noticed the poor condition of the dogs and the animals bark all day and night. While speaking to those neighbors, Robinson and his wife began threatening one of our crew members standing across the street.
"Man, if you don't leave, I swear to God, I'm going to shoot at you," said Robinson.
Off-camera, Robinson told our crew member several more times to stand still so he could shoot him. Robinson did not bring a gun outside.
"Pit bulls get a bad reputation," said Clifton. "Unfortunately, unscrupulous people do unscrupulous things to animals, and they breed to them to fight and be mean and everything else."
The animals were still at Robinson's home Tuesday, with the court giving him time to turn the dogs over to animal control. Clifton said Robinson has not been cooperative, and if he doesn't turn over the pit bulls soon, police will be there to assist in bringing the dogs to animal control.
"We're looking forward to getting these animals back in here and getting them in some kind of health and try to get them adopted out to some homes," said Clifton.
Before making threats, Robinson's wife told Channel 4 the dogs are in fine condition and their problems are the result of one neighbor complaining.
Animal control told a very different story. Clifton said several of the dogs, including two very aggressive animals chained where they could be seen from the street, will be too vicious to be adopted out.

Distance Learning
Do I have to come to campus to take exams?
Some courses require proctored exams, while others utilize online exams. Exam specifications can be found in the course syllabus which is available on the course website the first day of the semester. Students wishing to obtain this information prior to the first day of class are advised to contact the instructor by phone or email or to contact Distance Learning by email at firstname.lastname@example.com or by calling 309/298-2496. The Distance Learning office maintains a list of approved proctors and can work with students seeking testing sites.
What is a "proctored" exam?
A proctored exam is one that is overseen by an impartial individual (called a proctor) who monitors or supervises a student while he or she is taking an exam. The proctor ensures the security and integrity of the exam process. The student must make arrangements with the proctor to have the exam administered.
Some online courses require a proctored exam. Review the course syllabus to determine if the course requires a proctored exam or an online exam.
Who is an acceptable proctor?
Students living near Macomb must take all examinations at the Distance Learning office, Horrabin Hall 10, WIU. Call 309/298-2496 to schedule a time for the examination. The Distance Learning office requires appointments for examinations to be scheduled at least 24-hours prior to taking the exam.
Students living in the Quad Cities area must take all examinations under the supervision of personnel at WIU-Quad Cities campus. Call to schedule a time for the examination. WIU-Quad Cities requires appointments for examinations to be scheduled at least 24-hours prior to taking the exam.
Western Illinois University's Quad Cities
3561 60th Street

crucial antiaging supplement.

Have to concur not only is it good for memory recall also good for energy/metabolism increase but also the symptoms associated with aging ie swelling and water retention for some reason this combats the aging symptoms that no other supplement can ever do. You get over 80 years and this still works miracles.
Better word recall

I'm on my 2nd or 3rd bottle. I'm kind of a supplement junkie, so if something works I keep re-ordering it. It works. I feel it definitely helps me with my mental focus, word recall, writing and organizational skills. It's pricey, but if I stop taking it I really notice. I'm in my 40's. The next thing is to give it to my 83 year old mother who I hope will really benefit from it as she is losing a little bit of mental sharpness.

My hair has been falling out for 2 years or more, with no new growth. I've tried everything. Recently learned that l-threonate is the only kind of magnesium to cross the blood brain barrier. My hair stopped falling out within 2 weeks of using this product. Hopefully, it will eventually help with my brain fog. I will not be without this stuff.
Memory Improvement

After pregnancy, my memory has deteriorated greatly and have affected my confidence as I forget almost everything quite instantly. Even an important message can be forgotten the minute I've heard it. After doing some search online on suitable vitamins to help improve memory and I narrowed down to try out Magnesium. Found this on iherb and decided to give it a try. The results were really fast. A few days into it I can better remember things and I stop having quarrels with my colleagues over things I have forgotten. Now I am reordering 2 bottles to have them ready once the current one runs out!

This product has additives and fillers but it seems to work despite that downside. It is mostly subjective but I feel I have seen improvements as I am able to do crossword puzzles more easily these days and my mind doesn't race like it used to. I will have to come up with a more conclusive test but for now this is good enough for me and I take three capsules every day.

ARCH 0220 Fake! History of the Inauthentic [CRN: 16487] [Course Website]
What is a fake? Who gets to decide what is authentic? Greek statues, Chinese bronzes, Maya glyphs. Have fraudulent objects always existed? Galileo's signature, a centaur's skeleton, Buddhas bearing swastikas. Are all fakes the same? If not, how are they different? Why do people make forgeries? This course revolves around the history of the inauthentic through a diachronic exploration of objects. WRIT. FYS. TTh 9:00-10:20. Instructor: Felipe Rojas.
ARCH 0338 An Archaeology of Native American Art (ANTH 0066U) [CRN: 16472]
Interested students must register for ANTH 0066U.
This seminar is an introduction to the art and material culture of the indigenous peoples of North America. The regional coverage includes the continental United States and Canada, focusing on the peoples of Northeast, Midwest, Southwest, Plains, Pacific Northwest, and the Arctic and Subarctic. Topics addressed include art and artifact, function and symbol, innovation and tradition, and museums and representational practices, ethics and repatriation. Special attention will be given to the changing relations between museums and contemporary Native peoples. The seminar will make extensive use of the archaeological and ethnographic collections of the Haffenreffer Museum of Anthropology. FYS LILE. F 9:00-11:30. Instructor: Robert Preucel.
ARCH 0351 Introduction to the Ancient Near East [CRN: 15154]
Interested students must register for AWAS 0800.
This course offers an introduction to the study of the political, social and cultural history of the ancient Near East, from prehistory to the end of the Iron age (ca. 330 BC). Both literary sources and archaeological evidence are examined as relevant. Near East is understood here in its widest geographic extent, including primarily the Mesopotamian lowlands, Iranian and Syro-Anatolian highlands, as well as the Levantine coast. The course not only offers a foundational survey of the historical developments in the region, but also addresses the broader methodological and historiographic problems involved in Near Eastern studies. State formation and the development of complex societies, cult practices and cuneiform literary traditions, art, architecture and material culture, issues of landscape and settlement systems, agricultural production, regional and interregional trade, and craft production will constitute the central issues in the course. WRIT. TTh 2:30-3:50. Instructor: Ann Shafer.
ARCH 0382 Pre-Islamic Empires of Iran (HIAA 0031) [CRN: 16909]
Interested students must register for HIAA 0031.
Introduction to art and architecture of the Ancient Near Eastern empires that flourished between the 6th century BCE and the Islamic conquests of c. 630 CE. We will consider the material culture of the Achaemenids, Seleucids, Parthians, and Sasanians, empires that inhabited primarily the areas of Mesopotamia and the Persian plateau, but spread at times as far afield as the Mediterranean coast, Egypt, the Caucasus, and the Indus Valley. Lectures will prioritize close analysis of the most illuminating art and architecture, so that you leave the course knowing not only the material evidence but also current approaches to interpreting it. WRIT. TTh 9:00-10:20. Instructor: Anne Hunnell Chen.
ARCH 0676 Pirates of the Caribbean:
Scalawags, Sailors, and Slaves [CRN: 16824] [Course Website]
Avast ye scurvy dogs! Come study the barbarous buccaneers that roved the high seas of the Caribbean from the sixteenth to the eighteenth century: their daily lives and plundered goods, their ships and hideaways. We will explore the havoc piracy caused, and the legends left behind -- Blackbeard, Captain Morgan, and even Captain Jack Sparrow. Just as importantly, we will investigate the economics and geopolitics behind the rise of piracy, with an emphasis on the trans-Atlantic slave trade. MWF 2:00-2:50. Instructor: Matt Reilly.
ARCH 0725 Great Migrations: Mobility, Displacement and Material Culture in the Ancient Mediterranean [CRN: 16330] [Course Website]
Migrations are the stuff that (pre)history was made of. This course will track some of the largest and most momentous displacements and movements around the Mediterranean, from earliest prehistory to the Middle Ages. Not all migrations consisted of marauding hordes, so this course will run the gamut from pastoral mobility to island colonization. MWF 10:00-10:50. Instructor: Peter van Dommelen.
ARCH 0801 Alexander the Great and the Alexander Tradition (CLAS 0810A) [CRN: 16676] [Course Website]
Interested students must register for CLAS 0810A.
This course focuses on a single historical figure, Alexander the Great, using him as a point of departure for exploring a wide range of problems and approaches that typify the field of Classical Studies. How knowledge of Alexander has been used and abused provides a fascinating case study in the formation and continuous reinterpretation of the western Classical tradition. MWF 11:00-11:50. Instructor: John Cherry.
For Undergraduates and Graduates
ARCH 1052 Global Historical Archaeology (ANTH 1620) [CRN: 16727]
Interested students must register for ANTH 1620.
The course examines historical archaeology as a multidisciplinary approach to the study of the historic past. Draws in recent research from different parts of the world, including North America, South Africa, Australia, the Caribbean, and South America, to illustrate historical archaeology's contributions to interpreting peoples' everyday lives and the diversity of their experiences in the post-1500 era. TTh 2:30-3:50. Instructor: Emily Button.
ARCH 1128 The Long Fall of the Roman Empire (HIST 1030) [CRN: 14867]
Interested students must register for HIST 1030.
Once thought of as the "Dark Ages," this period of western European history should instead be seen as a fascinating time in which late Roman culture fused with that of the Germanic tribes, a mixture tempered by a new religion, Christianity. Issues of particular concern include the symbolic construction of political authority, the role of religion, the nature of social loyalties, and gender roles. TTh 10:30-11:50. Instructor: Jonathan Conant.
ARCH 1170 Community Archaeology in Providence and Beyond [CRN:16580] [Course Website]
Modern archaeology is about far more than just digging in the dirt. During this seminar, we will discuss how archaeologists can engage with the public -- including collaborations with indigenous and local communities, increased multivocality in interpretations, the mass media, museums, educational outreach programs, and the use and abuse of the past by governments and others in power. The second half of this course will involve a hands-on project in the Providence public school system. Enrollment limited to 15. TTh 10:30-11:50. Instructor: Katherine Harrington.
ARCH 1212 Charlemagne: Conquest, Empire, and the Making of the Middle Ages (HIST 1976Z) [CRN: 14879]
Interested students must register for HIST 1976Z.
The age of Charlemagne sits at the nexus of antiquity and the middle ages. For two hundred years Charlemagne's family, the Carolingians, welded together fragments of the splintered Roman imperial tradition and elements from the Germanic world to forge a new, medieval European civilization. This seminar examines that process by exposing students to the primary sources, archaeological evidence, and modern scholarly debates surrounding the Carolingian age. Topics include the Carolingians' rise to power; Charlemagne's imperial coronation; interactions with the Islamic and Byzantine worlds; the revival of classical learning; the Church; warfare; the economy; Vikings; and the collapse of the Carolingian Empire. Enrollment limited to 20. Not open to first year students. Th 4:00-6:20. Instructor: Jonathan Conant.
ARCH 1283 Society and Population in Ancient Greece (CLAS 1130) [CRN: 16015]
Interested students must register for CLAS 1130.
This interdisciplinary course stresses the importance of social and demographic themes for our understanding of ancient Greek socio-economic history. The course addresses topics that are fundamental to historical demography (mortality, birth rates, and factors that affect them). It draws directly on primary sources (documentary, literary and archaeological) and readings of modern historians that allow us respectively to analyze evidence and contextualize the issues relating to social history and historical demography. The course takes a longue durée approach and incorporates ancient Greek communities in Greece, the Balkans, Asia Minor, and the Black Sea, from the Archaic, Classical, Hellenistic, and Roman periods. WRIT. TTh 10:30-11:50. Instructor: Graham Oliver.
ARCH 1441 Ancient Synagogues, Churches, and Mosques in Palestine (JUDS 1440) [CRN: 15104]
Interested students must register for JUDS 1440.
Reviews the discoveries and related scholarship of ancient synagogues, churches, and mosques in ancient Palestine.

T 4:00-6:30. Instructor: Katharina Galor.
ARCH 1475 Petra: Ancient Wonder, Modern Challenge [CRN: 16138] [Course Website]
The rose-red city of Petra in southern Jordan is a movie star (Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade). It is a tourist mega-hit (over half a million visitors annually). It was recently voted one of the New 7 Wonders of the World. This class will explore the history and archaeology of Petra and debate how best to present and preserve the site, as well as discussing (and planning!) Brown's ongoing fieldwork at this beautiful, but fragile, place. Th 4:00-6:30. Instructor: Susan Alcock.
ARCH 1536 Archeological Ethnographies: Heritage and Community in the Mediterranean (ANTH 1126) [CRN: 16442] [Course Website]
Interested students must register for ANTH 1126.
Archaeologists study objects and (socio-cultural) anthropologists investigate culture is how stereotype and conventions have long had it. As material culture studies have increasingly blurred these boundaries, the distinction is entirely meaningless when it comes to archaeological heritage. Taking its cue from material culture studies, this course explores how local communities experience the material remains from the past and (re)incorporate them into their contemporary lives. DPLL LILE. M 3:00-5:30. Instructor: Peter van Dommelen.
ARCH 1705 The Palaces of Ancient Rome (HIAA 1301) [CRN: 16848]
Interested students must register for HIAA 1301.
This seminar addresses the palatial art and architecture of the ancient Roman Empire. Key themes include the architectural articulation of political power; the role of international relations in expressing cultural power; the interplay of influence among palaces and villas; the art of adornment, luxury, and collecting; the interaction of architecture and landscape, including interior gardens and urban environments; the critical analysis of archaeological evidence, reconstruction, and legacy. WRIT. T 4:00-6:30. Instructor: Anne Hunnell Chen.
ARCH 1616 Between Sahara and Sea: North Africa from Human Origins to Islam [CRN: 16849] [Course Website]
From the early stages of human evolution to the present, this course explores the deep past of North Africa. Rejecting the colonialist perspectives typical of the study of the region, we will study its indigenous peoples and their long-term relationships with the Mediterranean, the Near East, the Sahara and Tropical Africa. Students are encouraged to bring their own interests (art, music, literature, technology) to their experience of the class. TTh 1:00-2:20. Instructor: Brett Kaufman.
ARCH 1840 Ceramic Analysis for Archaeology [CRN: 16293] [Course Website]
The analysis and the interpretation of ceramic remains allow archaeologists to accomplish varied ends: establish a time scale, document interconnections between different areas, and suggest what activities were carried out at particular sites. The techniques and theories used to bridge the gap between the recovery of ceramics and their interpretation within anthropological contexts are the focus of this seminar. Registration limited to Archaeology and Egyptology concentrators. Others can enroll with permission of instructor, given on the first day of class. F 3:00-5:30. Instructor: Laurel Bestock.
ARCH 1882 Introduction to Geographic Information Systems for Environmental Applications (GEOL 1320) [CRN: 16049]

GEOL 0230, PHYS 0060, or equivalent recommended. TTh 1:00-2:20. Instructor: Ralph E. Milliken.
ARCH 1900 The Archaeology of College Hill [CRN: 16134] [Course Website]
A training class in field and laboratory techniques. Topics include the nature of field archaeology, excavation and survey methodologies, archaeological ethics, computer technologies (such as GIS), and site and artifact analysis and conservation. Students will act as practicing archaeologists through the investigation of local historical and archaeological sites in the College Hill area (e.g. the First Baptist Church of America and the John Brown House). M 3:00-5:20. Instructor: Andrew Dufton.
Primarily for Graduates
ARCH 2010B Approaches to Archaeological Survey in the Old World [CRN: 16825] [Course Website]
Recent decades have witnessed a marked development of interest in regional approaches to the ancient world and its landscapes. This seminar will explore the history of this development, as well as survey's impact on the work of both ancient historians and archaeologists. Topics to be covered include survey design and methodology, and the wider implications and lessons of regional analysis. W 3:00-5:20. Instructor: John Cherry.
ARCH 2112 Roman Epigraphy (LATN 2120A) [CRN: 15493]

M 3:00-5:20. Instructor: John Bodel.
ARCH 2155 History, Anthropology, and Archaeology: Disciplinary Dialogues [CRN: 16929] [Course Website]
Archaeology has always occupied an uneasy space between the fields of anthropology and history. This seminar examines the interplay of theories and methods in all three spheres of scholarship, with an emphasis on current inter- and trans- disciplinary research. Several fundamental 20th century dialogues between anthropologists and historians will be reviewed, and key topics in contemporary archaeology explored in relation to those debates. Th 4:00-6:20. Instructor: James Osborne.
ARCH 2320 Household Archaeology in the Ancient Near East and Beyond [CRN: 16928] [Course Website]
House, home, household, family: defining these terms is not as easy as it might seem, especially across space and through time. After introducing the principles of household archaeology, this class will explore the state of this growing archaeological subfield in the Near East and eastern Mediterranean. We will also draw on developments in New World archaeology in analyzing the potential and problems of household archaeology and in articulating its future directions. T 4:00-6:20. Instructor: Miriam Müller.

Spring Term
(Jump to Fall Term)
Primarily for Undergraduates
ARCH 0030 Art in Antiquity: An Introduction [CRN: 25388]
What went into the creation of the Parthenon? Who lived in the Tower of Babel? Why do we still care? This course offers an introduction to the art, architecture, and material culture of the ancient world. Things of beauty and of power will be explored, from Egyptian pyramids and Near Eastern palaces, to the 'classical' art of Greece and Rome. MWF 12:00-12:50. Instructor: Anne Hunnell Chen.
ARCH 0033 Past Forward: Discovering Anthropological Archaeology (ANTH 0500) [CRN: 25479]
Interested students must register for ANTH 0500.
This course offers a broad journey through the human past, from material culture crafted by our evolutionary ancestors to the remnants of the recent historic past. To facilitate this journey, the class explores the methods, concepts, and theories that anthropologists employ in the study of past peoples, places, and things. Case studies stretch across the globe. As a hands-on endeavor, archaeology focuses on tangible evidence. In this course, small-group discussion, laboratory, and field exercises will complement lectures, leading to an understanding of how anthropologists study the past and how that knowledge affects the present. MWF 1:00-1:50. Instructor: Andrew Scherer.
ARCH 0201 Sport in the Ancient Greek World (CLAS 0210 O) [CRN: 25136]
Interested students must register for CLAS 0210O.
Athletics and sports were as popular and significant in the ancient Greek world as they are today, and so offer an excellent introduction to its archaeology and history. This class will discuss the development of Greek athletics, the nature of individual events, the social implications of athletic professionalism, women and athletics, and the role of sport in Greek education. MWF 2:00-2:50. Instructor: John Cherry.
ARCH 0203 Who Owns the Past? (ANTH 0066D) [CRN: 24422]
Interested students must register for ANTH 0066D.
Examines the role of the past in the present. Using examples from the U.S. and other parts of the world, we will look at how archaeological evidence is implicated in contemporary cultural and political issues. Students will learn that the past is not just the focus of archaeologists' interest and scientific inquiries, but is also a subject romanticized by antiquarians, mobilized in nation-building, marketed for profit, re-enacted as entertainment, consumed by tourists, and glorified in commemoration. Understanding these different and competing valuations, claims, and uses of the archaeological past will provide an introduction to why the past matters in the present and to the future. Enrollment limited to 20 first year students. FYS. M 3:00-5:20. Instructor: Patricia Rubertone.
ARCH 0520 Roman Archaeology and Art [CRN: 25378]
Anyone who has ever watched "Gladiator", "Spartacus", "Life of Brian", or "Bugs Bunny: Roman Legion Hare" has some image of Rome, the Romans and their empire. This course, while exploring and assessing these influential popular preconceptions, introduces a more balanced view of Roman archaeology and art, examining not only the "eternal city" of Rome, but its vast and diverse imperial domain. MWF 11:00-11:50. Instructor: Susan Alcock.
ARCH 0530 Hannibal ad Portas! Fact and Fiction on Carthage and the Punic World [CRN: 25452]
"Hannibal stands at the gates": Roman parents would terrify their children with these words. And many others have been haunted by Hannibal Barca: the Carthaginian general still fascinates the European imagination, not least his epic trek over the Alps with three dozen elephants. This course explores fact and fiction about Hannibal and his world, holding up historical and mythical records against hard archaeological evidence. MWF 10:00-10:50. Instructor: Peter van Dommelen.
For Undergraduates and Graduates
ARCH 1155 Cities, Colonies and Global Networks in the Western Mediterranean [CRN: 25134]
Urban life as we know it in the Mediterranean began in the Iron Age, a period that witnessed the rise of long-distance networks and the foundation of colonies by several Mediterranean powers. What happened when new settlers, visiting traders, and local inhabitants came into direct and unprecedented contact? This course will explore this and other transformations in the West Mediterranean during the first half of the first millennium BC. W 3:00-5:20. Instructor: Peter van Dommelen.
ARCH 1213 The Medieval Monastery (HIAA 1440B) [CRN: 25134]
Interested students must register for HIAA 1440B.
The seminar examines the medieval and early modern monastery as a research problem. The course examines the development of the monastery, and investigates the religious and functional aspects of monastic architecture. We will explore historical, art historical and archaeological approaches to monasticism. Instructor permission required. Enrollment limited to 20. W 3:00-5:20. Instructor: Sheila Bonde.
ARCH 1214 The Viking Age (HIST 1031) [CRN: 24188]
Interested students must register for HIST 1031.
For two centuries, Viking marauders struck terror into the hearts of European Christians. Feared as raiders, Norsemen were also traders and explorers who maintained a network of connections that stretched from North America to Baghdad and who developed a complex civilization that was deeply concerned with power and its abuses, the role of law in society, and the corrosive power of violence. This class examines the tensions and transformations within Norse society between AD 750 and 1100 and how people living in the Viking world sought to devise solutions to the challenges that confronted them as their world expanded and changed. MWF 1:00-1:50. Instructor: Jonathan Conant.
ARCH 1236 Maize Gods and Feathered Serpents: Mexico and Central America in Antiquity (ANTH 1640)
Interested students must register for ANTH 1640.
Mexico and Central America are the cradles of one of the world's most enduring cultural traditions. The modern identity of the region was forged in these ancient traditions and their influence is apparent the world over, particularly in the area of agricultural domesticates (corn, chocolate, and chilies). Their cities (Teotihuacan, Monte Alban, Chichen Itza, etc.) rank among the greatest of the ancient world. This course offers a survey of Pre-Columbian Mexico and Central America, from the early monumental centers of the Olmec to the great Aztec city of Tenochtitlan, and explores how anthropologists and archaeologists investigate Middle America's indigenous past. MWF 10-10:50. Instructor: Nicholas P. Carter.
ARCH 1437 The Archaeology of Palestine (JUDS 1400)
Interested students must register for JUDS 1400.

Surveys history of archaeological research in this area, emphasizing significant excavations and their artifacts. Develops an understanding of the art, architecture, and modes of life of humankind from age to age, the changes introduced from one period to another, and causes and effects of those changes. T 4:00-6:20. Instructor: Katharina Galor.
ARCH 1606 Imagining the Gods: Myths and Myth-making in Ancient Mesopotamia (AWAS 1100) [CRN: 25595]
Interested students must register for AWAS 1100.
Creation, the Flood, the Tower of Babel--well-known myths such as these have their origins in ancient Mesopotamia, the land between the Tigris and Euphrates Rivers. Using both ancient texts in translatioin and archaeology, this course will explore categories of Mesopotamian culture labeled "myth" and "religion" (roughly 3300-300 BCE), critically examining the ancient evidence as well as various modern interpretations. Topics will include myths of creation and the flood, prophecy and divination, death and the afterlife, ritual, kingship, combat myths and apocalypses, the nature and expression of ancient religious experience, and representations of the divine. MWF 2:00-2:50. Instructor: Matthew Rutz.
ARCH 1635 The Great Heresy: Egypt in the Amarna Age [CRN: 25451]
At the height of Egypt's power in the New Kingdom, King Amenhotep IV initiated a religious revolution that affected all aspects of Egyptian high culture. Declaring the sun-disc, Aten, to be the sole god, this king changed his name to Akhenaten and moved the capital city to a new site at Amarna. Along with this move came massive shifts in everything from temple worship to art, international relations to funerary religion. This course will set the Amarna period in its context, examining remains from the reign before Akhenaten to the restoration of traditional Egyptian religion under his immediate successors, including King Tutankhamun.

ARCH 1772 The Human Skeleton (ANTH 1720) [CRN: 24434]
Interested students must register for ANTH 1720-S01.
More than simply a tissue within our bodies, the human skeleton is gateway into narratives of the past--from the evolution of our species to the biography of individual past lives. Through lecture and hands-on laboratory, students will learn the complete anatomy of the human skeleton, with an emphasis on the human skeleton in functional and evolutionary perspective. We will also explore forensic and bioarchaeological approaches to the skeleton. By the course conclusion, students will be able to conduct basic skeletal analysis and will be prepared for more advanced studies of the skeleton from medical, forensic, archaeological, and evolutionary perspectives. Enrollment limited to 20. Not open to first year students. Instructor permission required. MWF 11:00-11:50. Instructor: Andrew Scherer.
ARCH 1835 Inventing the Past: Amulets, Heirlooms, Monuments, Landscapes [CRN: 25381]
Long before archaeology and art-history were academic disciplines, individuals and communities manipulated the physical traces of the past in order to imagine and explain their own antiquity. Who cared about these objects and why? What did pre-modern excavations, catalogues, and collections look like and what do they tell us about our own engagements with antiquities? This course delves into the origins of antiquarianism and archaeology, from pre-history to the Renaissance. TTh 1:00-2:20. Instructor: Felipe Rojas.
Primarily for Graduates
ARCH 2006 Principles of Archaeology (ANTH 2501) [CRN: 24439]

ARCH 2020E Economy and Trade in the Later Bronze Age Aegean and East Mediterranean
Beginning with an examination of the workings of the Mycenaean palace economy, including the evidence of Linear B documents, this seminar will then turn to a more inclusive consideration of trade and exchange involving Aegean states and their counterparts further east, and of the nature and extent of cultural interaction between them during the later Bronze Age (ca. 1600-1100 BC). Th 4:00-6:30. Instructor: John F. Cherry.
ARCH 2335 In the Wake of Empire: Anatolia after the Hittites, before Alexander
Kings Croesus, Midas, and the much lesser known Warpalawas… Who were these people, when and where did they rule, and why does any of this matter? During the first millennium BCE, Anatolia was an astonishingly varied, multicultural and multilingual environment. This course will tackle head on the myriad archaeological, historical, and even linguistic challenges posed by this fascinating, but often-overlooked period in the history of the region. M 3:00-5:30. Instructor: Felipe Rojas.
ARCH 2407 Lived Bodies, Dead Bodies: The Archaeology of Human Remains (ANTH 2560) [CRN: 24440]
Interested students must register for ANTH 2560.
Bioarchaeology is the study of human remains from archaeological contexts. We will survey the "state of the art" in bioarchaeology, while exploring its relevance and application to the archaeology of complex societies. We will study a range of bioarchaeological methods and applications, including paleopathology, stable isotope analysis, population affinity/ancient DNA, perimortem trauma, and body modification. In turn, we will explore how bioarchaeology can be used to approach a wide range of archaeological problems relative to complex societies, including subsistence, economy, migration, urbanism, social inequality, conflict and warfare, and identity. Open to graduate students only. S/NC. LILE. M 5:30-8:00. Instructor: Andrew Scherer.
ARCH 2501A Problems in Archaeology: Culture, Contact and Colonialism (ANTH 2500A) [CRN: 24438]
Interested students must register for ANTH 2500A.
Explores the theoretical discourses shaping anthropological approaches and defining archaeological projects on culture contact and colonialism. Attention will be given to examining colonial encounters between Europeans and indigenous peoples as ongoing processes rather than particular historical moments, and to looking at recent efforts at decolonizing archaeological practice. Th 4:00-6:30. Instructor: Patricia Rubertone.
ARCH 2743 Egyptian Art in New England Museums (EGYT 2900) [CRN: 24468]
Interested students must register for EGYT 2900.
This seminar will be an in-depth, in-person study of Egyptian art from before the New Kingdom focusing on the entire life-history of Egyptian art in all available media and genres. The course will alternate between meeting in the classroom and meeting in museums. Classroom days will be devoted to discussion of the contexts, meanings, and uses of Egyptian art. Museum days will be devoted to the close observation of that art, and discussion of both its formal properties and the technological processes that were used in its creation. Consideration of conservation and display will also be of paramount importance. Th 1:00-3:50. Instructor: Laurel Bestock.

Denise Caldon, of Macon, has repeatedly tried to unseal court records that she said contains evidence that the Board of Regents has mismanaged a college campus and employment appeals.
"It will open a Pandora's box, there are so many issues," said Caldon.
Caldon was fired in 2008 after she said she refused to continue falsifying documents at the request of her supervisor, David Bell, former president of Macon State College, now Middle Georgia State College.
"After I put in writing that I would no longer falsify his leave reports, 9 days later I was terminated after 15 years of dedicated service," said Caldon who worked as Bell's administrative assistant.
In court papers, Caldon alleged Bell neglected his duties and she covered to protect him.
"He would never make a full day of work," said Caldon. "It was common knowledge on campus that we had to limit his meetings. Limit his speaking engagements."
Caldon unsuccessfully appealed her termination to the Board of Regents, then filed a whistle blower lawsuit against the Board but lost.
Fulton County Superior Court Judge Doris Downs sealed the evidence in the case which Caldon has sought to unseal four times. Each time, the office of Attorney General objected.
According to Caldon, a source inside the Board of Regents told her the administration was concerned about losing their own jobs for allowing a president to serve under his medical condition for three years.
A piece of sealed evidence, CBS Atlanta found in the public file contains a deposition in which Regent Doreen Poitevint admitted that Regents don't review appeals filed by terminated employees before voting on them.
"They make the faculty and staff and students believe that their appeals are read and they are not," said Caldon.
Bill Simon, conservative blogger for Political Vine, wrote a court brief on behalf of Caldon's push to unseal the records. He said it's hypocritical for Attorney General Sam Olens to tout his commitment to open records and then prevent the public from seeing what's in Caldon's court file.
"He's engaging in false, deceptive, misleading legal tactics to cover up wrongdoing at the Board of Regents," said Simon.
Lauren Kane, Olens' spokesperson said the Attorney General's office stands by its pleadings and pointed out Caldon's attorney had agreed to a consent order sealing the record, something Caldon said she never signed off on.
Board of Regents' Vice Chancellor Burns Newsome said an internal investigation found Bell had done nothing wrong but admitted that the investigation wasn't documented.
Newsome said he and his staff didn't consider Caldon's claims of retaliation when recommending the Board of Regents deny her appeal in 2008.
Since being fired, Caldon said she has lost her home, her savings and her medical insurance but continues to fight to protect the jobs of others.
"I just wanted them to fix what they've been doing to all the faculty, staff and students. They need to right a wrong," said Caldon.

With tens of thousands of abandoned houses and dozens of arsons every day, Detroit firefighters are trying to respond with limited resources in the cash strapped city.
A ladder truck returned from a run Wednesday at Engine 50. It had been a busy morning on the city's east side as they responded to four suspicious fires between midnight and 8:00 a.m. sometimes well out of their area.
"Throughout the city we have companies that are browned out daily, and we still have to cover. We have 150 square miles. Doesn't matter how many companies there are. If we have to send one rig, you've got to cover," said Engine 50 Acting Chief Gene Biondo.
On any given day in the City of Detroit, a number of vehicles are simply out of service. On Wednesday, eight trucks and three engines were simply not available.
Near Mack and Chalmers, the block is full of properties that have burned.
"It's just like a four or five alarm fire somebody deliberately set, and it just burnt all the houses and caught [one on fire where] people were actually living there at that time," said Thomas Howard. "It's just a disaster. It's just sad."
The house where Howard lived during his childhood is gone.
Seeme Zendeli owns Krazy Pizza nearby across the street from a building that has been set on fire several times.
"We've only been here about two-and-a-half year. This last six months, I've been seeing more of it," he said.
The Detroit Fire Department responded to 38,000 runs last year. They're waiting for the ladders to be certified on their trucks. They're not supposed to use them, but will in an emergency when needed for a rescue. Now an emergency financial manager could be coming in and with it hope things will get better.
"If it comes in, we hope it gets better. We control what we can control, and we adjust to what we can," Biondo said. "We're just trying to get by, trying to stay alive, go home to your family in the morning. That's all."

Biden Grasping for Straws
Poor guy. He tried.
He was saying that McCain voted against funding for the troops. Yeah, he did because that bill included a timetable for withdrawl from Iraq – if the time was right or not. So it was good. The troops did eventually get the funding that was needed but McCain isn't going to sign just any bill coming through – and that's a good thing, so thanks for pointing that out.
Talk to the troops. They want to get the job done. I agree that there should be goals set but to give a definite withdrawl date is asinine. Obama even knows this and has flip flopped on it.
Then after Biden was citing the Constitution, he seemed to not understand that he and Obama are not running against George Bush. A President can only serve 2 terms. Look it up, it's in there. Probably even in the Cliff Notes. Biden seemed to have a mantra going there for a little while talking about President Bush thinking he was running against Bush. He seems confused.
He didn't refute his statement Palin brought up when Biden said that Obama was not fit to be President and the role of President does not lend itself to on the job training. So I think Biden sold out just to get on the ticket.
Palin controlled the debate. She's a good debater. She dodged questions she didn't want to answer and drilled home her strong points, talking over the moderator who has a book coming out about Obama and over Biden and straight to the American people – soccer / hockey moms to be exact. She even got people laughing a few times. She's real. She's not some stuffy politician and that showed in this debate which was not filtered by the media. Good job.
I suprisingly found 1 pretty good story out there:
