Looking for a traditional canon-focused English MA-- does it exist?
January 21, 2011
What is the best English MA grad school that focuses on literary forms and content, and literary canon? Secondarily, a PhD program that has a 'hidden' MA possible in this area?
The majority of the answers I've seen online (generally) are all about how I shouldn't bother getting an English MA (let alone trying to get an MA and then be certified to be a HS English teacher-- two total doozies). My plan is what it is, currently. To wit, I want to get a really solid grounding in 'traditional' English studies, which I haven't done all through HS and college, believe it or not. I'm a voracious reader and quite well self-educated (and I read some classics as a child), but mostly I'm a genre reader. I went to an 'alternative' HS and college where there were no real 'standards'. I realize that you don't need in-depth knowledge to teach HS English; I want it anyway. I want to teach HS English my way. If I have to, I'll start my own school to do it. So that's the plan.
Unfortunately, Ivy League English programs (which I may get into-- maybe-- as I'm doing extremely well in my funny little alt school so far) all seem to offer PhD programs only. I heard it's possible to get an MA as a hidden 'drop out' option if you sign up for a PhD. Is this true? Regardless, an actual PhD is out of the question, as I'm already 32. A 2-year program is ok, but ideally it'd be 1 year, and then 1 year for a Masters in Teaching.
In any program, it'd be a huge plus if they offer a healthy aid package with TA positions offered.
Primarily, however, I'd just like to get some suggestions of actual MA programs that offer a rigorous, 'traditional' curriculum while offering a possibility of interdisciplinary study & with interdepartmental ties of some sort. The former aspect is more important than the latter, but I'm not some fuddy-duddy-- I don't want to just do a Renaissance lit thesis or something. I just want the best of both worlds. Ideally minus the cult lit theory inundating everything, though I know that's asking too much. Anyway, some rock solid year's-worth of courses in foundational English-language literary tradition is a minimum.
If know this exists-- U of Oregon's program comes pretty close (it seems). I'm also considering just getting an MAT with a larger-than-usual concentration in English study, and the best so far seems to be Brown's MAT. However, that program only has 3 courses for the MAT.
My research interests are folklore, visual/narrative semiotics, the graphic novel, traditional and fantastic narratives (and narrative theory), children's lit, the Romantics, Celtic, Native American & Norse mythology and culture. I also like interdisciplinary research with connections to ethnography, anthropology, philosophy or psychology.
I've considered non-English MAs in Folklore like Berkeley's program, as its interdisciplinary nature is very appealing, but it has no English content. I'm currently thinking of U of Oregon's English with a Folklore emphasis and U of Florida's English & comics MA program (but that has little to no canon grounding). I'd take an English & semiotics focus in a second, but there's no such thing. It'd be great if I could self-construct a focus such as that in traditional narratives/folklore.

With all the kindness in the world, as one alternative-college grad who took a long time to figure out the disciplinary and institutional structure of the rest of academia to another, I have to tell you that all the different things you're looking for and talking about at once make this question seem pretty incoherent and almost impossible to answer. You can't do a master's degree in Everything Studies. Literary criticism is one thing (with many different methods and approaches, actually), and folklore is another. You should talk to your advisors at your "funny little alt school" — in fact, you should talk to all the faculty you can — about the different disciplines and programs and the differences between them, and work on clarifying exactly what you want to study and how until you can talk about it a
more concretely and precisely than this before you do anything else, and before you even think about actually going to graduate school. Take a look at the (outdated but still useful) guidebook
The Real Guide to Grad School
too, especially its discussions of the different disciplines and their institutional histories.

To elaborate on RogerB's smart and correct words, I think you need to start imagining academia as a pyramid. The base is really broad, and that's where you are now -- taking all kinds of courses in all kinds of fields. But as you go along, you have to narrow in, rather than broaden out.
The kinds of programs you are imagining certainly exist -- but as money makers, not as fully-funded programs that pay you to be there. If they are paying you to be there, you are going to be pursuing focused study in a traditional (or at least semi-traditional) discipline.

I heard it's possible to get an MA as a hidden 'drop out' option if you sign up for a PhD. Is this true?
Technically, yes. You can enter a PhD program and simply drop out when you have enough credits to meet their Master's requirement. However, I'd really advise you not to plan to take this route. In order to do this, you'd have to get into a very competitive PhD program in the first place. I'm not suggesting that you
do this, but it would likely take much more work for you to be competitive among that pool of applicants than you want to do. Getting into one of those programs has very little to do with grades. Virtually all the applicants will have great grades. A competitive PhD program isn't going to be interested in you unless you can clearly demonstrate that you're interested in a career as a scholar, and usually, that takes all kinds of legwork in multiple areas that are a waste of your time if you simply want a broader educational foundation.
My advice is that you look into a funded Master's program in English. A little bit of research should turn up some decent, well-respected options for you to consider. You'll be able to start getting a broader English education in that setting, and you can certainly go on to an MAT program from there. I'm sure that many schools with funded MA programs also offer MAT programs, and that would probably be a plus for you. You won't have to move and/or you may be able to take some extra classes for free that you can count towards that future degree.

PS: Of course, getting into a funded MA in English is going to take a strong application as well. You should start talking to your professors about what you can do right now to strengthen your application. However, it's less of an uphill battle than an ivy-league PhD.

Thanks for all the feedback so far!
I realize in retrospect that was semi-incoherent, which is a shame since I actually do have it in list format also, and it boils down to this:
- Looking for a funded-option MA in English with a traditional/canonical focus available.
- Research mostly decided on folklore/traditional narratives work, 'traditional' back up being the Romantics. [The reason I look for an interdisciplinary flair is that folklore is pretty rare, but it's an interdisciplinary discipline, and there *are* English departments with an interdisciplinary folklore concentration and funding available. That's U of Oregon.]
- I was hoping for specific suggestions of schools to check out; the reason I mentioned so many interests wasn't to say I literally wanted to Do It All but to make the chances someone would know something about *one* of those ideas for a concentration/research focus.
But again, thanks! I will indeed talk to my professors: this isn't my only outlet. :)

I also like interdisciplinary research with connections to ethnography, anthropology, philosophy or psychology.
I was totally with you on programs that emphasize the canon. And then I read your interests, which are hardly traditional. A traditional program might include Romantics, not so much Native American and Norse mythology, folklore, and definitely not the graphic novel. An master's degree is a generalist degree, but I think perhaps you overestimating the amount of classes you take in an MA program. A typical load might be 3 classes semester for three semesters and then with a thesis focus your last semester, with perhaps some kind of comprehensive exam in between. So really that's ten or twelve classes, maybe a few more if you stretch it out. And probably you won't be able to take more than one or two classes outside of your department, and you may have a couple of required classes like Research Methods.
So why not look for a program that offers more flexibility? Every good program will have a Shakespearean, a Romantic, and all the usual suspects, plus it may have some more interdisciplinary options and folklore, children's lit, and graphic novels.
(Sorry, started writing this before I saw your response. I'd just look up the best English programs out there and then look at individual websites to see if they fund MAs.)

It's not clear from your question why your grounding in canonical English lit or folklore (and I separate these because they're very different things, and I suspect it will be almost impossible for you to find a program that will encourage combining the two) needs to be in the context of a degree-seeking program. Why not do an MAT degree with a concentration in English and combine that with self-directed reading and perhaps a few carefully selected courses external to the degree? Your voracious reading could come in handy here, and you could even use
courses like those Yale offers online
to help you choose what to read and give you a sense of what contemporary scholarship might be saying about those texts.
As for specific schools, you might be interested in the

"a funded MA in English"
I've never heard of one. For MFA's yes, but not for English lit.
If you get into a PhD program w/o an MA your first step will be two years of coursework towards an MA, and generally you will be expected to take "core" courses in roughly four out of five or six areas -- 20th century and/or Modern, 19th century Britsh/Romantic lit., 18th century British lit (think development of the novel), a Literary/Critical Theory course, Shakespeare (they won't call it that, but probably something like "early modern English literature), and then Old English and/or Middle English (think "stuff before Shakespeare.")
That's a rough sketch, but in any program the idea is that an MA proves general scholarly knowledge of a lot (although certainly not all) English lit.
All you can really do is apply widely to PhD programs who employ professors that you like to work with. That's the only way you'll get funded to study.
And you should. Go for it. But it's time to get more specific about your interests. A PhD is about digging your little niche (grave?), the MA is there to show you've got decent enough chops to handle an "Introduction to English Lit." type 101 course in the future.
As for dropping out of a PhD program after getting the MA (which is what I did) I have no regrets. I knew the PhD wasn't for me and I simply spoke to the department head and voila, an extra PhD program spot opened up for the Fall. As a PhD candidate you will be paid very little and may or may not get health insurance. You will teach a lot and grade a lot and do a number of thankless tasks. This is how the modern university works -- you are a workhorse who may or may not complete the PhD first, and a budding scholar second.
Perhaps even better advice -- look into the dwindling number of World Lit. and/or Comparative Lit. programs.

You might be being picky at the wrong time. Why not apply to Oregon, Brown, Berkeley, and Florida, and maybe another school or two that you haven't mentioned but which covers some of your areas of interest, and then let these factors narrow it down for you:
- where you got in
- who offered the best funding package
- whose professors seem most interested in you during the post-offer, pre-acceptance 'courting' process

U of Florida's English & comics MA program (but that has little to no canon grounding)
I got my MFA from UF's English Department in 2009. During the two years that I was there, a total of zero graduate comics classes were offered (a fact that was often argued about on our graduate listserv). I have no reason to think anything has changed since. I mean, you'd have plenty of chances to take courses in other subjects, but really, this is not the droid you're looking for.
Frankly, I suspect what is likely to happen if you go about pursuing your plan is this: you'll get to a school, be all jazzed for how they market the classes, and then be surprised and/or disappointed that, even in a more apparently canon-focused program, you'll be required to take a great number of classes away from your interests even if they're supposedly catering to your interests. Like a buttload of classes on literary theory (my "Joyce and cultural studies" class that I took during grad school? Much heavier on the cultural studies than on the Joyce). I think you'll likely feel resentful of the time you'll likely be dedicating to stuff you don't want to read, and I also feel that you'll likely feel disadvantaged when compared to your22-year-old peers in that you haven't read all of that canon literature yet.
I also think that, like bluedaisy says, your goals are pretty hazy. Do you want to study folklore, or the canon? Those are completely different things. Ditto, comic books.
I'm going to speak frankly, as someone who had unrealistically lofty and broad aspirations after college (among them, "people don't really read poetry anymore? I'm going to just change the world of poetry so that people
!!"). I think you'd be much, much happier first pursuing an independent reading list of the canon in your spare time (maybe finding or forming a book club to facilitate discussion?), mixed in with the books of your independent interest, and then going back to school for a few months to get your certification. This will be cheaper, a better career move (you could get an MAT, but it's really not necessary and in some districts will make them more reluctant to hire you because they'd have to pay you more). If you really want to study the canon in an academic setting, there are programs catering to this--St. Johns graduate program is one--but they're often expensive and I doubt they'll really help you for your career goals, either.
Finally, I want to add something that I wish people had told me: you don't need to be in the academy to be educated, to read widely, or to have familiarity with the canon. You can and should be doing this on your own.

This is a list
of funded English MA programs. It's a few years old, but should give you some ideas.
Aside from that, I'm not sure I understand your question. You say you want a grounding in the traditional canon, but are interested in wildly divergent, non-canonical fields. You probably need to come down on one side or the other. As Bluedaisy suggests, an MA is pretty short. Most programs will let you get a solid background in the traditional fields, with opportunities for research limited to the papers you will write for your seminars. Being able to study Norse gods would be a rare bonus. Have you spent time looking at the websites for different programs? Look at their requirements, and the courses they offer. Not have in their catalogs, but actually schedule.
On preview, what PhoBWanKenobi said.
As someone who is studying English Renaissance lit I'm amused by your "fuddy-duddy" classification!

My brother is in a PhD program in English at a typical, well-regarded state university and he told me that the MA program essentially exists to fund the PhD students, meaning the MA students pay out the ass in tuition so the PhD students can go for free. Sad, but probably true in most cases. A lot of Master's programs are rip offs. Probably the biggest exception to this is a Masters in education that allows you to become a certified/licensed/whatever teacher. Sorry if that's not what you wanted to hear.

Have you considered graduate school in Canada? (I'm assuming that you're American) I wanted to get an MA in English Lit, and decided not to go if I couldn't get it paid for. As the Livejournal listing upthread shows, terminal MA programs with funding are fairly uncommon in the States. I applied to Georgetown, Wake Forest, and the University of Victoria in British Columbia. I ended up in BC for a year, fully funded, and had a great time. It seems much more common to have terminal MA programs in Canadian schools, whereas in here it seems as if the majority of programs with funding are joint MA/PhD programs.
In fact, one of my best friends in the Victoria English program has a one-year MAT from the University of British Columbia and decided she wanted an MA in English as well, to better teach high school.
Also, just as some anecdata, I entered my one year 3-term MA program with the intent to focus on cultural studies, critical theory, and the literature of the 20th century British Empire. I ended up writing a Master's thesis on a quirky comedy from 1553 and the ways it played with written communication. I include that only to say that I was completely not looking for a program that foregrounded the canon or mandated a historical spread of coursework or whatnot, and ended up switching my focus halfway through to a much more 'traditional' area. Grad school is what you make of it.
Without going on and on, I have to agree with those that have stated that your interests don't actually sound that canonical, at least as I think of it. I mean, you want to study "visual/narrative semiotics," graphic novels, and pursue interdisciplinary research with critical theory? That's kind of where that sort of research lives, at least in my experience.
Anyhow, take a look at some foreign schools. You might be surprised at what you find. (Also, much like apricot, I am amused at being labelled a fuddy-duddy in my research interests.)

Thanks again for all the (somewhat contradictory) advice. :)
I see that the thing most people agree on is that my interests so far don't jibe very well with my stated goal in seeking out grad school. This is true. However, I will say that the major reason I can't tell you what specific period I want to study in the canon is that I haven't studied the canon enough (yet), outside experience with 18-19th century novels (and Austen, Scott, etc are only recently considered canonical), and a bit of Shakespeare. I will improve this situation somewhat in future undergrad classes, but not enough. Thus I can only say what my interests have been so far. However, I don't feel I actually would need to go to school to study stuff I'm already well-versed in-- it'd just be a nice bonus.
The opinion I must seriously consider is the idea of simply reading canon lit on my own time. However, one way to look at (funded) grad school is the idea of creating the time and space to explore literature and to frame it in the context of a dialogue (teaching and seminar). I feel that reading stuff I'm not always intrinsically interested in (and I may or may not *want* to read Chaucer, say) is a lot more rewarding in a seminar setting. I believe school is more than being told which books/articles to read. It is a structure that enables something greater than the sum of its parts, in terms of learning. Hopefully, at least. :)

Say not to me,
that it will not matter a hundred years from now,
that I was here.
For surely I have touched one life in a positive way,
perhaps in daily prayer
I've called your name one day.
Having no profound accomplishments or delusions of fame,
and leaving no progeny
to perpetuate my name,
still, it will matter that I was here.
For I have quietly endeavored to sow, and I have watered.
I love and am loved--should one desire more?
Life is good and hopefully God is pleased.
The tracks I'll leave, it's true,
will not be so ingrained as to stand harsh winds of time
and they shall fade as the evening sun,
leaving somewhere, only a name and date chiseled in granite.
Perhaps, if only in thought,
one pausing o'er me should question, who was this man?
Let God simply whisper, that I am His.
In winter's white, as angels cry
for early spring to warm the wind,
to bring to life with gentle sigh,
in love, the bitter frost has thinned.
For early spring to warm the wind,
at Valentine's romantic calls,
in love, the bitter frost has thinned,
where dancers twirl amid stone walls.
At Valentine's romantic calls,
rebirth of nature's light divine,
where dancers twirl amid stone walls,
and blossoms pastel shades recline.
Rebirth of nature's light divine,
when day equals the hours of night,
and blossoms pastel shades recline,
to hail the queen of May in light.
When day equals the hours of night,
a summer's sun will come to play,
to hail the queen of May in light,
we chant and sing along the way.
A summer's sun will come to play,
so life can grow as gods decreed,
we chant and sing along the way,
with warmth and light our hunger feed.
So life can grow as gods decreed,
the rays of sun on seeds we've sown,
with warmth and light our hunger feed,
the wealth of harvest is our own.
The rays of sun on seeds we've sown,
in autumn breeze that chills the heat,
the wealth of harvest is our own,
as gold and red belies our feet.
In autumn breeze that chills the heat,
a year that ends with blessed Samhain,
as gold and red belies our feet,
the call of Ancient's name to reign.
A year that ends with blessed Samhain,
to bring to life with gentle sigh,
the call of Ancient's name to reign,
in winter's white, as angels cry.
Earned his name~
Suffered all the pain~
Under the hands of men~
Settled with hate against him~
Compassionately he forgave them still~
He loved us then and he always will~
Rising he gave us the right to survive~
Intoxicating he is to all of our lives~
Supplying our each and every need~
Thank you father, For blessing me~
Our king above kings~
Understanding he brings~
Radiant he is indeed~
Living for Christ is the greatest thing~
Only in him may you rest in peace~
Remember each day to trust and forgive~
Divided from him is no way to live~
Through everything that comes and goes,
The wisest is the one who knows.
The truest nature of God's love,
And always sends praises to the one above.
Through everything that rises and falls,
The bravest is the one who calls.
The name of Christ even in the darkest hour,
And can stand for his name like the tallest tower.
Through everything, through night and day,
The most faithfull is the one that says.
"I am not alone so I shall never feel that way"
Cause God is only a prayer away.
There's power in the name of Jesus
There's power in his precious blood
His word is power when you begin to speak
There's power within his name.
There's healing in the name of Jesus
Authority is yours to take
Satan is DEFEATED the victory is yours
There's power within his name.
This poem is also a song and is now on Youtube
Everyone meets me for certain one day.
I appear when you least expect, and lead you on your way. Don't ask me any
questions, as I have nothing to say, but when I finally meet you, it will be your final
The job I have is hard, but work will never cease, for I am the one who leads you to
everlasting peace.
I show up when your name appears, be you king or queen or pauper. I must lead
you to the light, father, mother, son or daughter.
My name I hear you ask? Some call me death, or the gate keeper. But for most of
you I am simply known as the GRIM REAPER.
I came from the islands in the Far East
Where the bird of prey will rise
That's being prophesied, but I'm sure
I'm not that One, for I possess not the golden rule
Though, I searched for years in Lenin's name
Instead, I saw an empire fell from fame
Leaving behind my Caucasian brother
Watching his home town turned grey
When the desperate bombed it
By fate, once was a sailor with wan smile
Sailing the deep blue to catch the elusive dreams
Yet, I ended up alone, drinking ouzo
In the queen city of the Gentiles
Where I found my mortal half
She wrapped me, with her love
Now, I juggle my time from here and
To the city of lights, to be with my bloods
But my skin betrayed me
One day, when I wanted to see my god
Imprisoning me for hours and les bleus
Were questioning the colour of my skin, but
Thanks to Heaven Above, for I'm still alive
Why do others can easily spoil the beauty?
Of my beloved, and yet, I can't even glance
Theirs, nor taste just the smell of their soil
Without being questioned
Or, being stared from head to toe
What if I do the same?
Non, don't panic! I will not, for
I've no power to change the name of the game
Maybe some day, but right now
I'll focus myself to my new found joy
In the arts of writings
And will keep honing my craft to perfection
Till I free the miseries deep inside…
Since I saw the first dawn thirty nine years ago
In the beautiful archipelago
Bearing the Spanish name
For she was sealed tight with a fist
People, unite and let's make peace
Listen to the messenger of these last days
The simple things I really wish….. for all

moved if we are in CHRIST, for he shall foght all battles that come before us, he shall
forever LOVE us, MY FRIEND. NO GREAT A LOVE HATH A MAN THAN HE LAY DOWN HIS LIFE FOR A
FRIEND, consider who is lost, then consider, where is the lost.
God's creation is beautiful
from the cenary right down to the birds that sing
God's creation is beautiful in each and everything
God's creation is beautiful if we look around we will see
God's creation is beautiful
including you and me,
when you look up at the stars at night, always remember that you are precious in his sight, wow God bless you all
How majestic his his Name Amen
O Lord, our Lord, your majestic name fills the earth!
Your glory is higher than the heavens.
2 You have taught children and infants
to tell of your strength,*
silencing your enemies
and all who oppose you.
3 When I look at the night sky and see the work of your fingers—
the moon and the stars you set in place—
4 what are people that you should think about them,
mere mortals that you should care for them?*
5 Yet you made them only a little lower than God*
and crowned them* with glory and honor.
6 You gave them charge of everything you made,
putting all things under their authority—
7 the flocks and the herds
and all the wild animals,
8 the birds in the sky, the fish in the sea,
and everything that swims the ocean currents.
9 O Lord, our Lord, your majestic name fills the earth!
Im going to tell you a story about a girl.
She was smart, and ready to take on the world.
Had a hard childhood with her mother always ill,
but her father worked hard and struggled to pay the bills.
My name is Pam and the poem your about to read,
Is a interesting poem, all about me.
I started to feel depression and pain,
at the age of 15 I was snorting cocaine.
I got pregnant at a young age and wanted to explore,
So I walked right out of my families door.
Time went on and I was still not around,
My mom grew sicker and dad wearing a frown.
Not much longer until I experienced this change,
and tragic horrible hurt and feeling of pain.
I walked in that room ,and climbed in the bed
I layed down beside him, and layed down my head.
With my hear I could hear his heartbeat.
The next thing I new we were burying him six feet deep.
At the funeral they said she was in a better place,
but it just wasnt fair to see that look on her face.
My mom that is she died with my dad,
She may have been breathing but always so sad
Two years later she decided to give up,
her faith was gone and hope for luck up.
Thats when I really started to struggle,
barely getting by and forgetting that i was mother.
She seen me drift into a dark place,
I started loosing weight in my stomach and my face.
Before I new it I was always getting high,
Weeks became months, and time flew right by
Its to bad that I chose this new path I was on ,
Because on August 11Th I got a call saying my mother was gone.
Like a replay I walked into that room,
to see her lying there as stiff as a broom.
I layed down beside her and rubbed my fingers
through her hair , but the pain I was feeling I just couldn't bare.
You would think after loosing my mom and my dad,
Anything else wouldnt seem near as bad
Within four years I had nothing left,
My child was taken for my foolish regrets.
Just me and my addiction no more tears to cry,
so many different ways that I could get high.
I would like to introduce this powerful drug,
It bring nothing but bad when I was searching for love.
The name is crystal, Crystal Meth
The one thing in the world, I wish I had never met...

Marc Trestman shares blame for poor special teams play
September 16, 2014
It takes a certain type of mentality to play special teams.
Bears must get physical, and quickly against 49ers
September 9, 2014
Bills coach Doug Marrone reportedly got into it pretty good with management late in the preseason before his team tarnished the Bears' season. Word is, by the time general manager Doug Whaley and team President Russ Brandon intervened in an expletive-filled argument between the coach and the director of pro personnel, Marrone was overheard daring his bosses to fire him.
Don't expect Bears defense to be fixed overnight
September 2, 2014
Maybe the greatest fallacy surrounding the Bears in 2014 is the idea that the offseason rebuild of the defensive line will have the same effect that rebuilding the offensive line did last season.

It would seem I am of the opposite opinion in regards to some of the posters above me. Heroics, at the start, are maybe a bit tough, but upon getting better gear (JP, Crafted, Heroic drop luck) it gets easier. Honestly, I have 1 piece from a raid (Halfus) that the guild I was recently in has managed to kill all of 2 times, in 2 months. They would call themselves casual. However, casual doesn't mean flopping on a boss just because there is a new set of drakes up. That's just poor adaptation. I've pugged into another guild's run (they also raid 2 days a week like my former) and we went in and did all but Nef in BWD. Myself and the pugged in mage had never downed anything in there. It went fine.
Poor adaptation, from what I've seen, is the leading cause of people finding things "hard". 3 months after launch (more if you count when 4.01 dropped) and there are still healers who can't adapt to the Cata healing style. No you can't spam Regrowth or Flash Heal anymore. Utilize those longer, bigger heals. Tanks who put too much emphasis on their health pool, but not enough on their avoidance stats. Blood DK tanks who can't spec (seriously, very few seem to get it right..its like they are still spec'd for WotLK). It takes five minutes to read up on the stuff, and X amount of heroics to apply what you read, and become comfortable with it. Same goes for the raids (normal mode). Yes, some of the mechanics take getting used to, and some people learn things at different speeds, however fights like Atramedes or Chimareon (yes its fun, stressful, but fun to heal imo) aren't really that hard. Maloriak is nothing more than collapsing in and out, and pew pew adds.
Wrath made people too soft, and was a poor introduction to raiding, imho. I personally came to the game 4 months into TBC. TBC raids were more difficult than Wrath raids, by and large. Having said that, the greatest contribution WotLK made was that it gave smaller guilds a way to see ALL the content via 10m raids. I agree too, the storyline (love my lore) for WotLK was beautiful. Cata has just begun, lets give it a chance to develop its story. In alot of ways, though an old villian of sorts, its a brand new story. Unlike Arthas and his betrayal, and the Lich King, which had been around since WC3. I'm glad they made the intro Cata raids harder, and yet honestly once you get the mechanics down, they become alot easier (for the most part).
Heroics shouldn't be 15-30 minute lolezmode fests. Heroics should be a "training ground" of sorts for raiding. While my main (holy/disc priest) took some time, and originally had difficulty healing heroics, its not that bad now. My second 85 (hunter) got really lucky and was raid ready, because of heroics, within a week or 2 of hitting 85 (unlike my priest I didn't have the JP maxed and readily spendable fresh at 85). I generally ran with only 1 guildie. Very few guild runs, and i was gearing myself with relative ease. My dk has taken a little more time to gear but I play it alot less as well, so it doesn't see heroics often.
TL;DR Heroics aren't that hard, and really don't take that long with a competent group. Raids right now have a steeper learning curve than Wrath, but frankly Wrath (10m at least) was too easy at the beginning.
If your guild is struggling to down Raid bosses, look at your strategy, and I hate to say this, but your roster as well. People may just not be "getting" Cata specs, rotations, or really just aren't up for a more difficult (by WotLK standards) raid. Bring in people who do "get" it, or pug out. Yes its fun to run with guildies, but if everyone isn't on the same page, especially in 10s, you aren't gonna get far.

New-crop corn and soybean prices are two completely different stories right now.
Take a look at the support under September 2014 Soybeans.
In comparison, look at the December 2014 Corn chart:
Jerry Gulke, president of The Gulke Group, says these markets are confusing to some. Even though UDSA estimates 73% of the U.S. corn crop is planted, states such as North Dakota, Minnesota, Michigan and Wisconsin are way behind schedule. In these areas, Gulke says, there may be as much as 3 million corn acres lost.
"The market is saying, 'we don't care if you plant the corn or not,'" Gulke says. "The general thought is 90 or 91 million acres of corn will be enough, and the weather pattern this summer looks conducive for corn yields."
Soybeans, on the flip side, are going higher—even though soybean acres are forecast to be 6% higher than 2013. "The market seems to be telling us that we need a good amount of corn acres, but we also don't want to run short on bean acres," Gulke says.
Hear Gulke's full audio analysis:
USDA forecast 81.5 million acres of soybeans for this year and a national yield of 45 bu./acre. "That would be almost a record yield for the last few years," he says. "If you get 2 bu. less than that it is a good crop."
But, we have to grow it first, and the market wants insurance the crop is coming, Gulke says. "The market has generally accepted that we'll plant 1 million less corn acres and 1 million more soybean acres than USDA's estimate," he says.

Colin Kaepernick's bogus $126 million deal will have no effect on what happens when it comes time to extend the contract of Eagles quarterback Nick Foles. That is if he is extended at all after the upcoming season.
Everyone knows by now that this is the year Foles, who is under contract through next season, will have to earn it. And if he does, there's actually a chance he gets a better deal than Kaepernick, who almost certainly will get more money out of the extension he signed with the San Francisco 49ers on Wednesday if he suffers a catastrophic injury than if he doesn't.
Mike Florio of ProFootballTalk breaks it all down right here.
Suffice to say, almost all of it is tied to Kaepernick's year-to-year health and enables the team to get out of it without a significant salary cap hit any time after this coming season. In essence, Kaepernick will be lucky to actually get paid the $61 million that is supposedly guaranteed in his deal.
If Foles proves worthy this year, he'll end up with a contract worth approximately $18-20 million per year, with around $60 million guaranteed, based on what other top quarterbacks have been paid recently.
The numbers on Kaepernick's deal are "for amusement purposes only," as they say in those football pools some of us have been known to fill out from time to time.
The reality is that he will only get paid if he continues to be effective or if he sustains a major injury, in which case a disability insurance policy that he must purchase as part of the deal pays $20 million back to the team.
Foles' new contract could contain similar language, but rest assured that no matter what they guarantee him, they'll remain closer the salary floor than the salary limit, as has been the case for the last half decade or so.
The Eagles are an estimated $20 million under the cap this season, with extensions believed to be offered soon to other young players they'd like to lock in with long-term discounts, such as linebacker Mychal Kendricks and cornerback Brandon Boykin and possibly running back Chris Polk.
But the numbers of other high-priced veterans will either come off the books entirely or be renegotiated downward.
For instance, there is absolutely no way the Eagles next year will pay a combined $37 million to running back LeSean McCoy ($9.75 million), guard Todd Herremans ($4 million), cornerback Cary Williams ($6.5 million) and linebackers DeMeco Ryans ($6.8 million) and Trent Cole ($10 million). That's what they're due in base salary alone in 2015.
Regardless of whether the market value spikes for franchise quarterbacks next season, the Eagles will not be facing any difficulty finding a way to keep Foles.

Scala in 2007 - 2013
One of the highights of this year's Scala Days, for me, was Shadaj Laddad's talk on Fun Programming in Scala. His unabashed love of programming reminds me why I started to learn it myself, at a later age when I had saved up enough money to buy a C++ development environment. Today anyone can download compilers for free, for any programming language. To be honest, I'm jealous of kids who now get to learn Scala as a first language.
I was surprised and proud to see how enthusiastically Shadaj was using giter8 to efficiently create new projects. When I made giter8 I was mostly inspired by the automation, efficiency, and evident pleasure that Ruby programmers took in automating mundane tasks like making a new CRUD website.
I'd tried to do the same with Java tool-chains in the past, mostly Maven's archetypes, but found them to be over-architected, and under-designed for creation and maintenance. To eliminate grunt work for the end user you had to do about 10x the grunt work as an author, not exactly a formula for success in the unmarket of free software.
The other cool thing about giter8's appearance in Shadaj's talk is it lifted my spirits a bit from what I'd been hearing about the morning's keynote, which I hadn't seen. Apparently Rod Johnson, Spring Framework author and recent dependency injected to the Typesafe board, had used Dispatch (my first Scala software project and one of my proudest creations) as an example of what not to do in Scala.
I wasn't going to watch the talk myself or write about it. It was the same old criticism of an old version of Dispatch, a programming style argument that never interested me and was ultimately easier to leave behind.
But after the videos were posted, inevitably, more of my colleagues saw the talk, and talked about the talk. Friends spoke up for me, and for Dispatch. I started to imagine that the criticism was very harsh, that it was personal, that it was something I should worry about. So yesterday, I watched Scala in 2018.
Johnson doesn't speak in the sneering tone I'd imagined. There's no emotion, no blood at all. His criticism of Dispatch isn't cutting, it's very general. Dispatch and libraries like it, he informs the audience, simply should not exist.
I have to say I was surprised when finally watching the video just how flatly Johnson ignores the fact that Dispatch was completely rewritten over a year ago. There is no point in listing the differences; they are many and self-evident. I invite you to watch the "Dispatch" portion of the talk with the Dispatch home page open in another window, and see for yourself.
I've given a few talks and I know the work that goes into every beat. It's time consuming; many hours of work go into a one-hour talk of any quality. So it's astonishing to me that a fundamental error in one of the longer chunks of the talk, and which is used to support one of its primary themes, survived Johnson's own review of his notes. Whether Dispatch is, still, a wrapper for Apache HttpClient, with dozens of symbols that cause right-thinking enterprise developers to blush politely — these are facts you can check in ten seconds.
Further, you might expect a secondary review by someone more familiar with the Scala community, when a keynote puts its critical focus on that community. It's how you avoid these kinds of blunders, and how you later avoid having to say, "stop talking about my blunders and instead please discuss my important message." (We'll get to that.)
But for the record, if anybody is weirdly still interested in the full story of the Dispatch rewrite that I completed early last year, I wrote a series of posts about it. If not, that's great! Neither am I.
The road to perdition
Johnson makes his thesis plain. In five years he hopes Scala is a leading programming language for traditional enterprise apps. He doesn't have the same hope for startups. Or for front-end (web?) programming. This stated goal is the motivation for his criticism of some Scala libraries and of the ways that some people participate in the Scala community. He projects a series of beliefs and behaviors onto the community using the trusty myth list formula.
One must imagine all the hard core Scala programmers champing at the bit, or champing like that doctor zombie in the B wing of the W.H.O., to debate these "myths". But before tearing through the glass, it's important to ask yourself: do I want to be where Rod Johnson wants me to want to be in five years? Do I want Scala to be less popular in startups, more popular in traditional enterprise settings?
For me, debating how to get there would be like arguing over the fastest route to the gulag. If that's where this bus is headed I don't particularly care how it gets there, I just want off.
Luckily, that's not where the bus is headed, at all. Johnson greatly overreaches in discounting the use of Scala in startups, allowing only that some startups may experience a "Twitter scenario" where they are successful and have to scale.
Like many things in this talk that is purportedly about the next five years, the "Twitter scenario" is from five years ago. Today there's no shortage of startups using Scala from the beginning, in New York and elsewhere. You don't have to look any further than the list of sponsors for Scala Days to see some of them. There's no reason to think, and less reason to hope, that Scala's popularity in startups won't continue.
Aside from that, if you value a healthy open source community for its own sake, you might want that as a target. If you value projects that do something creative, cool, beautiful, or clever, you might want to list that. If you want Scala to be used as a teaching language in public schools, you set it as a goal for 2018.
In other words, you might want some things for Scala that are outside your immediate career interests.
Alternative mythologies
Suffice to say that my hopes for Scala are very different from Johnson's, and so would produce a very different set of guidelines. Or perhaps, none at all: it's your day off, your computer, your electricity — do what you want.
I'm not going through the whole values exercise here, so I'll end with this thought: when I escaped Java five years ago it wasn't entirely, or even mostly, about the language. I was stifled and utterly uninspired by the Java Community — the same one Johnson puts up as a stretch goal for Scala programmers.
I don't feel there is a Java community so much as there is a Java audience, in the sway of one "thought leader" after another, chasing one magic bullet after another, always one enterprise software purchase away from the ultimate salvation of not having to program.
But there are many programming language communities where individual freedom of expression is prized, where experimenters are praised for their successes and their failures, where we all thank our lucky stars we live in an era where programming exists and we can do all we want for free. For me Scala is one of these languages.
Having seen a few other talks that same morning, I don't worry about our future in the slightest.

LAS VEGAS -- Six teenagers have committed suicide in the last month. Those startling numbers were revealed by the Clark County Coroners office.
While it is not known what led these teens to take such a drastic action, it is known that kids who are the target of bullies often have shared risk factors for suicide.
The teenagers who died by suicide ranged in age from 14-years-old to 19-years-old. The six all took their lives in a one month period. According to Linda Flatt, the suicide prevention trainer for Nevada, that compares to a total of seven teen suicides in all of 2010.
Labels on campuses across the school district can often lead to bullying. From the jocks, to the cheerleaders, to those in band just to name a few of the groups. Bullying does not discriminate.
"Because even the popular kids are going through things not just the kids that are like outsiders," senior student Cora Walter said.
Walters is a Del Sol High School senior taking part in a two-day event called a Challenge Day. Students attend workshops and go through activities focused ways to stop the bullying which is something Walter has seen happen way too often.
"It's tough because you have to walk around the hall and make sure like you keep your head down and just move fast and it's sad that kids have to do that," Walter said.
It's community events that provide awareness such as a walk held a few weeks ago remembering those who have passed away because of suicide.
"We want students to participate in those kinds of things. Those are the efforts in the aftermath of a suicide that are preventative that might save lives," said Linda Flatt, a suicide prevention trainer.
Flatt lost her son to suicide and says the six teen suicides this month is horrific. Even though none have been confirmed because of bullying, it's still worth a mention to remind people of the affects bullying can have on anyone, especially young people.
"Students who are the target of bullies often have shared risk factors for suicide. I just don't want to draw a straight line from bullying to suicide because all students who are bullied do not take their lives," Flatt said.

On a wooded hillside outside Vladivostok, Russia, fourteen Canadians found their final resting place in 1919. Five others died at sea. They were ordinary folk who had enlisted in the closing days of the Great War for service in an unlikely theatre — Siberia. Consisting of 4,209 men and one woman, Canada's Siberian Expedition mobilized alongside a dozen Allied armies in a bid to defeat Lenin's Bolsheviks. The mission failed — in the face of a robust partisan insurgency, divided Allied strategies, and heated domestic opposition.This is their story, including over 2,000 photographs and images. Also available in French and Russian.
"In his third term, President Vladimir V. Putin has offered one clear new direction for the country: the development of a conservative, nationalist ideology. Cossacks have emerged as a kind of mascot, with growing financial and political support."

A Little Goes a Long Way
Weekend Meditation
Few months ago I purchased a small tub of white truffle butter from a French man who was offering samples from his booth at the Marin Farmer's Market. At $10 for 3 ounces it was expensive, at least for my budget. But the French man was very charming and the sample was quite good so I took it home, threw it in the freezer and over the course of the last several weeks, dipped in here and there to add just a hint of that wild, delightful, truffle magic to all sorts of dishes.
A little goes a long way and that, my friends, is your good news for today.
My small tub of butter is not even half way empty and already it's been put to numerous uses. I've rubbed a little beneath the skin of bone-in chicken breasts before roasting, tossed a spoonful with pasta and Parmesan cheese, basted it on a sunny side up egg served over a piece of crusty toast which soaked up all the truffle-y juices.
No way I can afford to buy a whole truffle and partake in the ritual of shaving it over a plate of fresh pasta. And as intriguing as that sounds to me, the truth is, my truffle butter experience is enough. It's plenty. Knowing that, knowing how much is enough, is the kind of wisdom I'm interested in these days, whether it's a dab of butter or the square footage of my home or the size of my bank account.
In the scheme of things, truffle butter is a pretty odd example for austerity but I chose it because it shows that luxury is not so much a what but more of a how: how something is used and also how it is perceived and appreciated.
My point is, doing with less isn't always so bad. In fact, the a-little-goes-a-long-way lifestyle is actually quite liberating. Finding a deep satisfaction in what's right there in front of you, appreciating the moment-by-moment gifts of the day (slant of the late-summer sun, a good cup of coffee, a pile of persimmons at the farmer's market) can go a long way toward alleviating gnawing desire, anxiety and sense of lack. Some times the simplest things, when fully acknowledged, are the most satisfying: they are our true treasure and they are bountiful.

I hope you enjoyed this encore Weekend Meditation, originally posted in October, 2008. I will be posting these vintage posts every Sunday (with the occasional new post, if I can manage!) for the next several months while I focus on writing my first book.

May the ever evolving answer to the "what is enough" question always be so close at hand. I wish often that I remembered that what I have is enough, and that often times even a bit extra. Perhaps I would be a bit more generous.
Thanks for sparking my mind yet again :)
Dana you are a breath of fresh air in a world that is sorely in need of this kind of wisdom.
elegance is refusal, enough is a feast, and this wisdom today are encouraging. we forget this is how much of the world lives, and most of it lived in earlier times. the note about generosity, above, is marvelous.
along these lines, not be be prosaic about it but since we approach thanksgiving, upromise and couponmom enable one to shop online while benefitting a college fund for any child and use coupons to buy foods you can donate to your food bank. perhaps abundance is at hand.
This weekend provided a truly peaceful moment for my boyfriend and I right along these lines. When I bought my home, it came with a slew of mismatched, used appliances. I was blessed enough by friends and coworkers to receive used upgrades: a new-to-me fridge, washer, dryer, and stove. For three years the appliances I switched out have sat in my garage, taking up valuable work space. Life threw a bunch of curveballs at me and all of my intentions to sell those items were swept aside.
When my boyfriend moved in with me, we talked about turning the garage into a studio for his drums. But there was no space. And it became a struggle of questions such as: "how can we sell the dryer if we're not positive it still works well? what if something's gone bad sitting for so long? what would I ask for it?" and on and on, until more time passed with us neither selling the items or getting rid of them.
Finally, this past weekend I put a post on craigslist stating that I wasn't sure that everything worked 100%, but all items were free for the taking. As my boyfriend and I woke up early and began hauling all of the items out to the curb it felt so liberating. And we found even more items to set out as we dug deeper into the chaotic garage. Throughout the day people would drive by, see the "free" signs, stop, look and sometimes grab something for themselves. It felt pretty great catching these moments out the window. My boyfriend and I both felt that while yes, there was probably a couple hundred bucks worth of goods sitting outside, having them go to people that need them with no strings attached, and us not having to load them and haul them anywhere ourselves, was payment enough. We let go of the "but we could be making money off of this!" mentality that we're so conditioned to have, and just enjoyed giving. Definitely refreshing.
Dana - Your posts always relax me and that is much needed on another Monday morning at the office. Thank you for this!

Dear friends:
Alice is a 107-year-old Jewish lady who is the oldest living survivor of the Holocaust. She seems reasonably strong physically, mentally alert, and she plays classical piano every day in her apartment, obviously with nimble fingers.
Her story is amazing, and inspirational. They are releasing a documentary of her life, and 12-minute trailer video is available at http://blog.beliefnet.com/deaconsbench/2010/10/dancing-under-the-gallows-a-story-the-world-needs-to-see.html
Let us pray that Psalm 91:16 would be completely manifested in her life. The first part already has. Not sure about the second part, but if not a reality may it be soon:
Psalm 91:16
With long life I will satisfy (her),
And show (her) My salvation."
(The Hebrew word for "salvation" here is yeshua, which is Jesus' real name in Hebrew.)
Lord, if you have not already done so, please reveal your Son, Yeshua, to Alice in a very real way.

I've only been here in the fall but I love this - one of my favorites on the MN north shore. Its a longer one but not too bad - maybe 3-4 hours. And the view on the overlook, bring a picnic and sit and enjoy for awhile. Its worth the climb.
It's been quite a while since I've been here in the summer, it's usually a winter cross-country skiing destination. Bring your bug spray and sun block, and get back on the trails. Don't forget your camera, there's so much beauty here. Evenings on the overlook are amazing, seeing Grand Marais lit up at night is fantastic.
I didn't get a chance to really explore...this was a solo trip to see if I would come back and hike with a partner...and that's a definite yes...great trails everywhere you go...both for bike and walking.
When we first visited the trails of Pincushion, Grand Marais had experienced recent flooding, and as a result the trails were muddy. One of our family members was wearing sandals, and by the time we reached the lookout point, his feet were caked in mud and dirt. Additionally, we had a lot of trouble finding the said lookout point. It...
The Superior Hiking Trial Association needs to put up signs that clearing mark the trail head. There are only about 4 trails leading out and is confusing for first time hikers to the area. We were told to take the ski trail and that was not clearly marked from the parking area.
We visited shortly after a big snow storm, and the trails were already groomed. The trails are much wider than any I've been to. They were fairly well marked with maps, and well marked with ski level and directional signage. We were only have to visit for a short time, but what we did see left us wanting to come...
We descended and climbed out of Devil's Track Gorge and went on to the Pincushion Mountain summit. We walked down to a rock outcropping which overlooked Lake Superior. The views were stupendous! It was a beautiful day - blue, blue sky - making it well worth the climb.
We hiked up to the top for the wonderful view overlooking Lake Superior. The trail going up was soggy and boring about 45 minutes each way.
I am no longer able to walk trails, but the short drive off the Gunflint Trail (Cook County # 12) brought us to a trailhead/lookout parking area. All I coudl say was WOW!
The view overlooking Grand Marais and Lake Superior virtually takes your breath away. That view, by the way, is even more stunning at daybreak and at dusk....
My husband and I went up here for our honeymoon last year it was awsome great view of the town we ste going back thos year i cant wait

Re: when will they learn that a Manual Override can never be Offline?
The fail safe/manual override systems on Star Trek reminds me of the old WW2 Bugs Bunny cartoon with the Gremlins. Bugs is alone on a huge bomber that's about to crash. He hits the autopilot button. And out of a cabinet pops this stick figure robot with a lightbulb for a head. It surveys the situation while making beeping sounds and his head blinks. It then grabs the only parachute and bails out.

MONDAY, Dec. 13 (HealthDay News) -- Deleting the receptor of a
protein known to promote obesity allowed mice to burn more fat,
researchers report.
The role of the ghrelin protein in appetite and energy balance
was discovered in 1999. This new finding suggests that ghrelin may
not be as critical to energy expenditure as its cellular receptor,
called growth hormone secretagogue receptor (GHS-R), explained Dr.
Yuxiang Sun, of the Baylor College of Medicine in Houston.
That means that GHS-R might make a better target for treating
obesity in humans.
In this study, Sun and colleagues found that deleting GHS-R from
the body cells of mice prevented obesity by diminishing so-called
"white fat" tissue and activating "brown fat" tissue, thereby
increasing the production of fat-burning body heat.
The study was to be presented Monday at the annual meeting of
the American Society of Cell Biology in Philadelphia.
The finding "shows the complexity of ghrelin and its signaling
pathway, and suggests the existence of additional unidentified
regulators mediating the effect of ghrelin and/or GHS-R," Sun

One of the many benefits of starting MGA | Michael Green Architecture was the ability to clearly speak to a single vision for our company and our future.
We approach architecture as story telling and as experience more than mere aesthetic. A beautiful space or building falls short if it doesn't also speak to us with meaning; if it doesn't connect with a story; and if it doesn't contribute to a positive experience. We aim to design experience as part of the design of space or objects.
Each project we do has a unique story. We hope each captures the spirit of its client and community and finds a way to enhance the beauty and wonder of living. We also hope that each fits into its context with a sense of local and global responsibility.
We believe that good buildings are good neighbours. They compliment their neighbourhood and they contribute in their own way. That may mean they are modest and quiet, or it may mean they need to take a bold stance. As a good neighbour they must understand how they influence others and how the size of their footprint impacts ecosystems and climate change as a whole.
Our practice is a laboratory. Each project is different and is an opportunity to explore ideas we believe will deliver something extraordinary for our clients. Our job is to do our best, each and every day, to give our clients ideas to help make their lives, business and communities better.
As a laboratory we are exploring a number of subjects that we find compelling and that fit our sense of global responsibility. Some of our projects explore social justice and equity, most explore environmental and ecological integrity, some are in the developing world, some are for post disaster communities, some explore cultivating community and all engage, in one form or another, in shaping positive local and regional cultures.
Our projects are very diverse. They are sometimes very large and sometimes very small. We are equally engaged in designing a shelf to put your toothbrush on, as in an international airport or the world's tallest wood buildings. Through diversity we find wonder. Through diversity we gather knowledge from one type of building or interior and hand it to the next avoiding the cookie cutter solutions for the same project type each time. Our skylines should be diverse but complimentary.
One of the challenges of testing new ideas is keeping true to our intentions. We want to ensure that our projects result in positive environmental, economic and social outcomes. We also want to be held accountable to this desire and welcome your comment and critique of our approaches and results. We have much to learn and the more voices that contribute, the stronger our solutions. We welcome your thoughts.
It is important that each project learns from the lessons of the last and that we work in a transparent and sharing environment to encourage our industry as a whole to continue to improve. Michael introduced FFTT, the structural system he developed with Equilibrium Consulting, under a Creative Commons license that encourages use by others. Our goal is to continue to share information and solutions with the broader audience of architects and engineers. The more the better. Nothing ever happens alone so we believe in sharing.
Transparency means that we are happy to also share the shortcomings of our projects as much as the successes. We are happy to hear from those that believe that we can do better and wish to push us or better yet teach us how. Please feel free to contact us at firstname.lastname@example.com if you have thoughts on where we need to improve. We in turn, will keep trying to learn, teach, challenge, explore and implement designs that we hope make people's lives happier.
We work in all materials but we especially love wood. When harvested responsibly, wood is an amazing material full of unexplored potential. We love it because it is natural and grown by the sun; no two pieces are alike and all mankind can find an affinity in its unique warmth and character. It's also a tool for sequestering carbon and reducing energy in buildings. For more on this subject it might be worth googling us or watching one of Michael's TED Talks. We have spent years on an agenda to shift our industry to natural rapidly renewables materials.
A note on tall wood buildings.
For several years now Michael has explored ways to build increasingly larger wood buildings for urban contexts. He has done so thanks to a great team of individuals and consultants including Equilibrium Consulting who helped Michael develop FFTT; a structural system for wood buildings up to 30 storeys tall. This work is still in its research and development stage but is very encouraging and we hope to be building a tall building very soon.
Our home turf…MGA | VANCOUVER.
Our Vancouver office is home base for MGA. From Gastown our staff work on projects from large institutional buildings to boutique shops, locally and internationally. The Vancouver office currently houses our architecture, interior design, graphic design, landscape and model making staff. MGA is a mid-sized architecture firm, our team members are exceptionally talented, qualified and experienced…and we love to call Vancouver home.
In the fall of 2012 we launched MGA | NEW YORK.
The New York office is the heart of our research projects. From the next steps of Tall Wood Buildings to new models for building for disaster relief, the NY office continues to link MGA to academia, trade organizations, international aid organizations and the UN. The seeds we plant in our NY office grow into other projects and also help shape part of the conversation of extending the role of architects further from home and to the great challenges of our time.

PITTSBURGH — At this time last year, Johnny Gaudreau and his Boston College teammates were readying themselves for the national title game, which they would win. Not this year. With BC having lost to Union in the first round of the NCAA Tournament, Gaudreau's trip to Pittsburgh this weekend was purely ceremonial — for the Hobey Baker award announcement, and nothing else.
"It's difficult," Gaudreau said. "It's hard to watch these games when your team's not in it. It was a really fun weekend last year in Tampa. I know these guys are probably having a great time right now."

Ponmeword keeps the locals happy
Ponmeword jumps the last ahead of Ardglen
(Healy Racing Photos)
The 8yo son of Alderbrook never won a race before today but that didn't stop punters from backing him as he went from his opening show on-course of 4/1 into 3/1 favourite at the off (was 9/2 with Paddy Powers this morning).
Ridden by Rob Jones he was clear at the last and stayed on well on the run-in to score by six lengths from Yeoman in second at 9/1 under Andrew McNamara.
Eric McNamara said afterwards: "He is very consistent and has been placed on numerous occasions so he deserved to get his day. It was a nice pot to win and he will probably go to Tramore now on Monday under a four pound penalty."

Twins call up Swarzak; Breslow claimed off waivers by OaklandPosted on May 20th, 2009 – 12:54 PM
By La Velle
Lefthander Craig Breslow has been claimed off waivers by Oakland and the club has called up righthander Anthony Swarzak to replace him on the roster. Swarzak is expected to start on Saturday against the Brewers.
He was 3-4 with a 2.25 ERA in seven starts at Class AAA Rochester. In 44 innings, he's given up 40 hits and walked 11 while striking out 32. His WHIP is 1.16. Opponents are hitting .248 off of him. He's turned his career around after serving a 50-game suspension in 2007 for violating baseball's drug policy
Joe C. will be at U.S. Cellular Field soon and should have more details.
The Breslow move is a little surprising. He's hasn't been effective – he was 1-2 with a 6.28 ERA in 17 games – but I thought the Twins would give him more time to turn things around after pitching pretty well last season. But the Twins needed a roster spot and had three lefties in the bullpen. Someone had to go.
The Twins currently have 39 players listed on their 40-man roster.
In other news, Twins pitching coach Rick Anderson, speaking on Wednesday during his twice-monthly spot on KFAN, said the club got good news on lefthander Glen Perkins. There's nothing seriously wrong with his elbow, so he's expected to be ready to step into the rotation when at the end of his 15-day DL stint.
Class A Fort Myers outfielder Ben Revere, by the way, was named Florida State League player of the week after batting .625.

The paper wanted to see how many people would stop to listen to a free concert from a preeminent artist playing on an unequaled instrument (Bell's own Stradivarius, made in the midst of Stradivari's golden period in 1713. Bell reportedly paid $3.5 million for the violin, the Post says.). There was no publicity involved, and no sign identified who was performing. He played for almost 45 minutes.
In the article describing the experiment and its results, Gene Weingarten recounts a conversation with conductor Leonard Slatkin. When asked how a world-class musician would fare in a subway, Slatkin, music director of the National Symphony Orchestra in 2007, speculated that the quality of the performance would compel 75 to 100 out of a 1,000 people to stop and listen. And he thought the musician would gather about $150 in his open violin case from passersby.
The reality? Almost no one stopped. Of the more than 1,000 people that streamed by, only seven paused to listen. The person who stopped the longest recognized him. More people – 27 – dropped money in his violin case. The amount only came to $32, well shy of Slatkin's $150 prediction.
What is the take away of this story for a retailer? That positioning matters.
You can literally have the greatest artist in the world performing for close to an hour and no one will appreciate it if you don't tell them why they should.
If Joshua Bell playing a Stradivarius couldn't command attention without a concert hall, high ticket prices and promotional materials, how in the world can gardening products in your store seem valuable if you don't tell your customers?
The Great Garden Center Experience
Today's Garden Center's The 10% Project is helping garden centers improve plant sales, in part, by profiling good marketing. The Post's experiment shows just how important marketing is.
What you are telling customers about yourself? Do your ads tell customers that your store is an experience to be treasured? Do the ads give the proper setting for your quality plants and products in a way that price is not very important?
As an industry, we can get so focused on the practical, that we lose sight of the magic gardening can bring to customers. Instead, we advertise $9.99 hanging baskets or plunk gorgeous perennials on a weathered pallet supported by concrete blocks. We look at increasing efficiency in spring, making sure that new arrivals make it to the sales floor quickly and forget how customers think and feel.
Customers are looking for something to brighten a shady yard, or they want a splash of color to welcome guests to their front door. If they want cheap plants, they know Home Depot will sell them at a lower price than you.
You, on the other hand, can give them the gardening equivalent of Carnegie Hall and a Stradivarius. The more you reach for that goal, the less important price will be.
