Celtics Summer Forecast with Chris Forsberg
- Updated: August 24, 2010
If you don't know of Chris Forsberg, you are no true Celtics fan! Forsberg is a reporter for ESPNBoston.com and runs the Celtics Blog over there. He is always one of the first to report breaking Celtics news and isn't shy when it comes to his twitter account. As a follower of Forsberg, I was very excited when he gave us the opportunity to be a part of his Celtics Summer Forecast at ESPN Boston. Here is quick rundown of how it will go down:
The Boston Celtics proved last season that a team's regular-season record and playoff seeding are not always foolproof indicators of postseason success. Boston sleepwalked through the final four months of the 2009-10 season, earned the lowest possible seed for a division champion and still came six minutes shy of winning an NBA title.
In Monday's debut of the Celtics Summer Forecast, our panel of experts predicted a four-win increase for Boston next season. Now, we ponder whether that will help the team improve upon the fourth seed it obtained last season.
Totaling up the responses, our scratchpad looked a bit like a scorecard from a solid round at the local Par 3 golf course (front 9 — 3, 2, 3, 2, 3, 3, 3, 4, 3, 2).
Our 18 experts (yes, we grew overnight) from eight Boston basketball blogs — CelticsHub, Red's Army, CelticsBlog, Celtics Town, North Station Sports, Gino's Jungle, Celtics Stuff Live and Celtics 24/7 — were fairly evenly split on whether the Celtics would land the No. 2 or 3 seed, with a slight edge going to the third spot. No one picked the Green to leap higher than No. 2 or fall lower than No. 4.
Our panel almost uniformly agreed that the Heat would live up to the hype and secure the No. 1 seed, while many thought the Magic would end up at No. 2. As John Karalis from Red's Army summed it up, "Miami will be the clear No. 1 seed; Orlando is a cohesive-enough unit to win 60 games and should be No. 2. Then it's a little bit of a crapshoot."
Some wondered if the beefed-up Chicago Bulls could leap ahead of Boston, while most believed the Atlanta Hawks would take a step backward after securing the No. 3 seed last season.
Based on ESPN.com's Summer Forecast for the Eastern Conference standings, 93 national experts also pegged Boston as the No. 3 seed — barely, edging the Bulls by a game for that spot. And only 10 of the 93 national panelists picked the Celtics to win the East.
- Aug. 23: Predicting the final record
- Aug. 24: Predicting the playoff seeding
- Aug. 25: How does the season end?
- Aug. 26: Who starts at center?
- Aug. 27: Who gets the final roster spot?
- Aug. 30: Expectations for Shaquille O'Neal?
- Aug. 31: Expectations for Marquis Daniels?
- Sept. 1: Which rookie has biggest impact?
- Sept. 2: Who is first player cut or traded?
- Sept. 3: Should Perk fight for starting job?
- Sept. 6: Who is the Celtics' team MVP?
- Sept. 7: Who is the Celtics' 6th man?
- Sept. 8: Who ends up in Doc's doghouse?
- Sept. 9: Do Celts make a deadline move?
- Sept. 10: Biggest strength? Weakness?
So there you have it. Celtics 24/7, along with other Celtics bloggers and experts, will be answering 15 burning Celtics questions over the next few weeks. Be sure to keep checking back here as well as ESPNBoston for updates. And follow Chris on Twitter. He has much more interesting updates than we do, I promise you that.
We were late to the party and missed the first round question, but here is today's posting with predictions of where Boston will finish in the standings.
And here is our response:
Tyler Lamoureux, Celtics 24/7 (No. 3 seed)
I went back and forth on this one. What I do know is that the Miami Heat will be the No. 1 seed (don't hate me). It will then come down to Orlando and Boston. The Celtics are the better team, but as we saw last season, they aren't the most motivated regular-season squad. Jay King hit the nail on the head in Monday's win prediction: The Celtics really don't care about the regular season. They understand that, no matter where they finish, they will still have to face the best teams in the playoffs. The order in which they beat them really isn't important. Orlando's youth and talent will prevail in the first 82 games, with Boston settling for the No. 3 seed. But after that, watch out for the Celtics.

Today is your birthday and you would have been 5 today. You've been gone for over a year already. Time is flying so fast. I miss you Squirt Squirt! I love you so much and hope to see you again some day!!!
He's been losing weight and hanging out on top of the kitchen cabinets. Not sure why. So I put him in a room where he had access to food and water 24/7. Thought he was doing better. Gave him some wet food which he ate. Came in to check on him this morning and he was in his final stages of dying. I was holding him when he took his last breath. I only had a few minutes before he passed. I'm glad I was there in his last moments. Rest in peace my sweet boy! You know you were loved and will be missed dearly. Just 2 months shy of your 4th birthday...way too young to be an angel now. I love you Squirt Squirt. Wait for me at the bridge. He passed at 7:45 am. Heaven's newest angel. Forever in my heart. I love you Squirt!
8 April 2008 - 16 Feb 2012
Happy Birthday Squirt! There are 355 birthday kitties today! You're a big boy now. No longer a kitten. In reality, you're a terror. You show no mercy when you go after Sadie or any of the other furrbutts in the house. We're gonna have to get your little butt fixed and homefully tame you down! You're anti social too. You don't let anyone pet you or love on you and you run or cringe and pull away when someone touches you. I'm not sure why that is. On occasion I find you on the bed when I wake up but I think that's only cuz it's warmer there but as soon as I move, you run away. I still love you and don't regret taking you in. You're just totally opposite of how you started life out in our home. Happy Birthday Squirt! You'll still always be my little boy no matter how big or old you get.

Margaret Wilkinson, is a prose, stage, screen and radio writer. Previously Degree Programme Director for the MA and PGC in Creative Writing, she is now senior tutor with a special interest in dramatic structure (for both script and prose writers), voice and dialogue.
I have a special interest in dramatic and narrative structure, voice and dialogue as applied to both prose and script writing, as I teach on the Master's Degree in both strands. I am particularly interested in three act structure as a fluid, yet stable, principle for organising drama and fiction and in the way this framework might function creatively as well as structurally.
I have a special interest and expertise in writing for radio and an ongoing interest in the psychological and dramatic aspects of the ghost story. As a teacher and mentor I continue to pursue my interest in nurturing new writers, and guiding more experienced writers, in the region. I currently supervise 7 PhD students- five in prose fiction and two in drama. For many years I have contributed regular columns to the nationally and internationally acclaimed, writing magazine, Mslexia, disseminating ideas about the craft of writing through exercises and techniques I have personally developed. Recently I have completed a series of six articles for Mslexia on writing for radio and four articles on the short story.

I connected it to the Zune MP on my PC, but when I try to download the trial again, it says it's already purchased. Also, I can't figure out how to cancel the download on my phone, since when I tap it, all I get is a window telling me to connect to a WIFI server or connect the phone to my PC.

More mean bitches torment and abuse worthless dudes in this good edition of the series. It's a bit heavy on the foot fetish but will still please ass fans.

Brooklyn Lee turns debt collector Kyle Stone into a writhing worm at the sight of her ass cheeks. Stone also gets cuckolded by Michelle McLaren and her lover, Lexington Steele. Sadly, Stone's AmEx card is maxed out, but he still gets to bury his face in McLaren's holes.
Kimberly Kane wears a big, floppy Annie Hall hat and pretends to tase her bitch Jeremy Conway when he doesn't bring enough cash to suit her. Kane's tone with Conway veers toward domestic violence, and his many failures are pointed out as he struggles to breathe beneath her asshole.

VANCOUVER - Ottawa is warning it may impose tariffs on everything from orange juice to bread if the United States doesn't change a meat-labelling policy that Canadian beef and pork industries say is costing them more than $1 billion a year.
The federal government has released a long list of agriculture and other products that could be affected by Canada's retaliation in an ongoing dispute over U.S. country-of-origin meat-labelling rules.
Canada's list includes U.S. cattle, pigs, beef, pork, cheese, pasta some fruits and vegetables, chocolate and maple syrup. There are also some non-food items such as office furniture, mattresses and some types of jewelry.
"Free and unfettered trade is a two-way street," Ritz said at a news conference Friday. "These retaliatory measures, should we be forced to bring them into effect, will affect our producers and consumers on both sides of the border.
"It is by no means our preferred course of action, but we will continue to stand with Canadian hog and cattle producers against mandatory country-of-origin labelling."
Ritz said if Canada follows through with the retaliatory measures, it would cost the U.S. money and jobs.
He acknowledged such tariffs could also mean that Canadian consumers would have to pay more for the products.
"There is a possibility of that," he said. "We are hoping that this will bring enough pressure to the Americans to make the change before this ever has to be implemented."
Ritz called on the U.S. to respect a World Trade Organization ruling on meat labelling, which found the system discriminates against foreign livestock.
He says Canada must get authorization from the WTO before it can retaliate against the U.S. and that could take between 18 to 24 months.
The U.S. labelling policy, first implemented in 2008, cut Canadian cattle shipments to the U.S. by 50 per cent within a year and cut the export of slaughter hogs by 58 per cent.
The system increases costs and makes it more difficult for U.S. companies to buy Canadian products.
The U.S. recently announced it wants to make the rules even more onerous, requiring more detail on meat labels on the origins of beef, pork and chicken sold in American grocery stores.
Labels would include such information as "born, raised and slaughtered in the United States'' for American meat. Cuts of meat from other countries could carry labels such as "born in Canada, raised and slaughtered in the United States.''

TALLAHASSEE, Fla. (AP) - A state panel has delayed a conference
call meeting on Gov. Charlie Crist's request for a more diverse
slate of nominees to fill an opening on Florida's highest court.
The Supreme Court Judicial Nominating Commission canceled the
meeting set for Sunday and rescheduled it for 7 p.m. Wednesday.
It wasn't immediately clear why the meeting was postponed.
Crist asked the panel for more diversity after he eliminated the lone Hispanic finalist by appointing him, instead, to an appellate court.
That left four non-Hispanic nominees.
The commission can send the governor up to six names.
The seven-member high court currently has no Hispanic justices.
One justice is black and two are female.

This article is a work in progress, as is my home theater installation. I also intend for this article to spawn several product reviews as I go along. Be warned.
I've been playing with HDTV, ever since I got a really nice bonus from work a few years ago. I mean a REALLY NICE BONUS. Being the foot loose and fancy free single guy that I am (and not having a "finance committee" to control my expenditures), I had no intention of doing practical things like paying bills with that money–noooo, it was time to build a home theater with a big screen high definition TV!
Basically defined, a home theater integrates various electronic components to provide an experience not unlike what you might have at a movie theater, but without all the negatives. Please refer to the block diagram below (licensed through Creative Commons, source: teques.com):

I have been living in these overalls lately! They seriously work with everything, from sweaters & flats to off-the-shoulder blouses & wedges. It's these versatile pieces that hold a very special place in my heart! Is it because I am lazy and they make it east for me to get dressed or because they force my brain to be creative and make a ton of looks work... I'll let you all figure that one out! HAHA

Can I manually Drop these tables from phpMyAdmin? Or, will dropping them damage the database?
If they can be dropped, what is the correct procedure? Should I Empty them first, just Drop them, or what?

Liverpool Seeks Stars, Shirt Sales in India as Soccer Wins Fans
Liverpool Football Club is building training schools across India, joining arch-rival Manchester United in the subcontinent, where support for English Premier League soccer is gaining strength.
Liverpool, the 18-time English champion, will open five soccer academies in India by 2012 and plans similar institutes in China, Steve McMahon, the former Liverpool midfield player and chief coach for the project, told reporters in New Delhi yesterday. Manchester United, which has awarded rights to operate club-themed bars in India, is said to be planning a $1 billion share-sale in Singapore this year.
"Our supporters around the world are in the millions, but it has been very difficult for them to get close to their team so we're bringing a bit of Liverpool to them," said Ian Rush, the club's leading scorer of all time. "India is already famous for cricket, maybe one day it will be famous for football."
Liverpool may have some way to go to match the support in Asia enjoyed by Manchester United, the most valuable soccer team in the world according to Forbes Magazine, which estimates that more than two-thirds of its fans live on the continent. India will host reigning FIFA World Player of the Year Lionel Messi on Sept. 2 when Argentina faces Venezuela in a friendly match at a 120,000-capacity stadium in Kolkata.
"It's a business deal aimed at the middle class population in India which is bigger than most European countries," said Novy Kapadia, an Indian soccer expert. "Their heroes play in English teams, so the clubs are capitalizing on the craze."
Dominant Force
Liverpool dominated European soccer for two decades, winning 11 of its 18 English championships and four of its five European Cups between 1972 and 1990, with players such as Rush, Kenny Dalglish and John Barnes. The team logo bears the words "You'll Never Walk Alone," and fans sing the Richard Rodgers and Oscar Hammerstein song at every home match.
The Reds are further entrenching themselves in the region after playing exhibition matches in China and Malaysia in July, one year after Standard Chartered Plc, which gets more than three-quarters of its profit from Asia, signed a four-year sponsorship deal with the club worth 81.5 million pounds in July last year.
"This is not about the money, this is about me giving something back to the game," said McMahon, who is partnering with Liverpool and Indian real estate developer Carnoustie Management Pvt. in creating the schools. "The English Premier League should have been here a long time ago, we are here finally walking the walk."
Merchandise Sales
Manchester United's sponsorship deal, expected to be finalized in September, with Malaysian snack maker Mamee Double Decker Bhd. will be the most recent signed with an Asian company. Existing sponsors from Asia include India's Bharti Airtel Ltd., South Korean tire-maker Kumho Tire Co. and Thai beer brand Singha.
"It's excellent for India's young footballers and for foreign clubs looking to tap our big population to sell the game and their merchandise," Chuni Goswami, who captained India's national team from 1962 to 1966, said by telephone from Kolkata. "Football has been around for many years in India, but lacking money and infrastructure to become big. Foreign clubs are now realizing the potential."
Cricket continues to rule in India. The Indian Premier League, its foremost cricket league, is valued at about $2 billion. Nearly 68 million people watched India, the host-nation and champion of the 2011 cricket World Cup, defeat Sri Lanka in the tournament's final on April 2, according to Audience Measurement & Analytics. In contrast, the nation's football ranks 158 in the world, below Palestine and Madagascar.
"These could become exciting times for Indian football," Goswami said. "Now Indians can dream of rubbing shoulders with the best in Europe."

It seems like the more you watch Caleb Swanigan on a basketball court, the less you see of him.
If you'd spotted him as an eighth grader three years ago, you'd have seen someone who was packing 350 pounds on a 6-4 frame.
Last summer, when he was scheduled to begin his sophomore year at Homestead High in Fort Wayne, Ind., Swanigan had grown to 6-7 but his weight was down to just below three bills.
Now he is nearly 6-9, but his listed weight on the USA Basketball roster for the FIBA U17 World Championships is 280 pounds.
Swanigan is driven to turn a body that once suggested to college football coaches he had a professional future at left tackle into one that can be functional in basketball "at the next level, and maybe even the level after that."
He'll get to that next level, the NCAA, sooner than anyone had expected.
In the spring Swanigan announced he would reclassify to graduate high school in 2015. He said it's something he has discussed with his father for a couple years, and that he is in position that this school year will require only three or four core courses to establish freshman eligibility and the rest of his time will be spent in college courses to get a jump on next year.
Swanigan turned 17 in April, so he'll be younger than many other freshman who start college next fall. He will be bigger than most, but not as big as he once was.
"I've been working on losing weight since I decided to be a basketball player, since I was in eighth grade," Swanigan said. "I've been losing weight since then."
While his body has shrunk, the interest from college recruiters increased rapidly.
He holds scholarship offers from Michigan State, Illinois, Kentucky, Purdue, Indiana, Kansas, Arizona, UCLA and Maryland. Duke, North Carolina and Michigan are involved, as well. When Louisville hired assistant coach Kenny Johnson away from IU, the Cards joined the race because he'd been recruiting Swanigan for the Hoosiers.
"That was an immediate connection," Swanigan said.
Although Michigan State long was believed to be the leading contender, Swanigan said at last month's Peach Jam tournament that all the schools on his list are equal at this point. Scout.com recruiting analyst told Sporting News he would not be surprised to see Swanigan wait until spring to decide because the competition is so wide open.
Swanigan is more certain that his future is in basketball. He gave up football a year ago, a short time after he'd stormed through the July 2013 summer evaluation period, schooling older players with his intelligence as a low-post scorer.
His weight was an obstacle then, but it helped him to gain an understanding of low-post play. You don't see it much in the U17s because coach Don Showalter emphasizes an open, pressing style in which feeding the ball down to the block is not as important, but Swanigan is one of those rare wizards who can use his lower body and technique to force opponents to consider double-teaming him.
Not surprisingly, he leads the U.S. team in free throws attempted; he is 13-of-16 from the line through four games.
The U.S. is the reigning champion in the tournament and favored to win again. Wednesday was an off day in Dubai, but the quarters, semis and finals will be played over the next three days, starting with the U.S. vs. China on Thursday at 6:15 a.m. EDT.
In 14 minutes per game, Swanigan is averaging 8.3 points and 5.5 rebounds.
He did the normal stuff to lose weight: cutting unnecessary carbs from his diet, eating more healthful foods. He wants now to continue finding ways to become a more explosive athlete, because he is dealing with taller players on a regular basis now and being able to score over them would be more fruitful than trying to score through them.
"I was playing on the playground with my older brothers, trying to get an easy basket," Swanigan said. "I could never really dribble, so you've got to put your back on them. That just naturally got me playing with my back to the basket. Being 350 pounds, I had to play with my back to the basket to be effective. It's really helped me, so now I've just built it from there."
Swanigan is more than just an inside player, though. He showed off his pure basketball skill in one game at the Peach Jam by hitting buzzer-beating 3-pointers at the close of regulation and the first overtime to tie the score and continue the game. His team, Spiece Indy Heat, eventually lost, but it was a performance that will be remembered by those who attended.
"I don't settle for threes because I'm trying to get guys in foul trouble. I'm trying to get a layup every time," Swanigan said. "I feel like a three gives a big man a break, so I'm not going to shoot a lot. I'm just going to go straight at them every time. But when the time comes to shoot them, I've shot them."
At the end of the day, Swanigan feels like he made the right choice by sticking to basketball despite the criticisms of others.
"I always loved basketball more, even though I was built like a football player previously. People telling me, 'You're a football player' – that helped motivate me, helped me lose the weight, become who I am."

The summer has slipped away in a haze of heat and fall is almost here. This is good news—it means that Germantown's own Hunsrucker Oktoberfest is just six weeks away! This gives you plenty of time to plan and attend one or both days. Saturday, September 29th and Sunday, September 30th will find the Dheinsville Historic Park flooded with people who appreciate authentic German food, music, and dancing.
Presented by the Germantown Historical Society and Sendik's, Germantown's Annual Hunsrucker Oktoberfest has the same mission each year: To have a great time experiencing German culture. The festival features authentic German music and dancing; foods and a variety of beer selections; games for all ages; and most unique, a Dachshund Dog race. This year will also feature the Bierlympics, a playful nod to the 2012 Summer Olympics. Sponsored by local area taverns, teams of four will compete for the Oktoberfest trophy and (more importantly) bragging rights!
Live performances make Oktoberfest a lively festival. On both days you can listen, watch, and dance throughout the day. Saturday features musical performances by the Goodtime Dutchmen, Julida Boys, and Copper Box. Sunday features music by River City Blaskapelle and Austrian Express. The Pommersche Tanzdeel Freistadt dance troupe will perform on both Saturday and Sunday.
The Fourth Annual Dheinsville Dachshund Dash will take place at 3 pm, rain or shine. The cute little pups will race right into your heart as they compete to be Dheinsville's speediest dog. All proceeds will benefit the Midwest Dachshund Rescue. For more information on registration, visit the Germantown Historical Society's website.
Other attractions include a Silent Auction will be held both days in Christ Church Museum, a Bake Sale Sunday at noon, Power Reunion Exhibit, Classic Car Display, and many vendors in attendance with booths of interest. Admission to the Bast Bell Museum during Oktoberfest will be half-price with a donation to the Food Shelf.
Would you like to do more than just attend? The Hunsrucker Oktoberfest is also a great place to volunteer. The festival depends on our loyal volunteers to make the fest a success. These documented volunteer hours can be used for service organizations, NHS, graduation, or confirmation requirements.
Volunteer for a shift on Saturday or Sunday and receive a FREE t-shirt, brat, and soda.
Volunteer shifts range from serving food and beverages to clean-up and everything in-between. If you would like to help but not during the festival, volunteers are needed for set-up on September 27th and 28th, and take down on October 1st.
Interested in volunteering, entering your team into the first Bierlympics, or entering your pooch into the Dachshund Dash? Contact the Germantown Historical Society at 628-3170, or e-mail email@example.com. To learn more about the festival and to see a full schedule of events visit www.germantownhistoricalsociety.com and click on the Oktoberfest link.
Be sure to make plans to attend. The festival and parking are both FREE. You won't want to miss Wisconsin's Best Oktoberfest!

Shelton police have arrested a 20-year-old man in connection with Tuesday night's beating of a man who has since died from injuries he suffered during an attack downtown.
The 20-year-old suspect was arrested Wednesday on suspicion of first-degree assault. The beating victim later died about 1 p.m. Wednesday afternoon; the Mason County Prosecuting Attorney will now likely amend the charge to reflect the victim's death by homicide, according to a news release from the Shelton Police Department.
The homicide victim was identified Thursday as Talon Newman, 27, of Shelton.
Shelton police were dispatched to the corner of 1st Street and Railroad Avenue downtown after 11 p.m. Tuesday after a report of a disturbance. Upon arrival, they found an unconscious man, later identified as Newman, who was the apparent victim of an assault. Witnesses indicated a group of males were seen fleeing the area on foot.
Newman was taken by ambulance to Mason General Hospital, then airlifted to Harborview Medical Center in Seattle, where he died Wednesday.
The subsequent investigation revealed that Newman and the suspect had an argument which led to the assault. The investigation is ongoing.

GSD Course Bulletin - Spring 2014
This term's information was last refreshed on 12 MAY 2015 14:55:41.
Courses taught by Jana Cephas
03372: The Subject and the City (DES 0337200)
Urban Planning and Design
Seminar - 4 credits - Limited enrollment
Wednesday 10:00 - 1:00 20 Sumner 1C
Jana Cephas
Course Description
This seminar takes as its premise that a history and theory of the city cannot be known without an accompanying history and theory of the urban dweller. We will begin by interrogating the subject—the urban dweller as subject and the city as subject. We will interrogate the subject not as a transcendental universal consciousness but as a body and being co-produced by urban social environments. The city then is positioned as a key component in the modern project concerning the "culturation of the self." Drawing initially on theories of subjectivity articulated by Bourdieu and Foucault, we will examine these culturations of the self by articulating a theory of reflexive spatial practice.
Topics for class sessions include: Avoiding the Subject; Techniques of the Body; Theorizing Spatial Practice; The Industrious City; Publics and Privates, Pt. 1 (or, Sex in the City); A City of One's Own, Pt. 1 (or, The Other City); The Disembodied City; Publics and Privates, Pt. 2 (or, The Defensible City); The After City; The Sensible City; The Rhetorical City (or, Urban Legends). Although the topics covered are broad, we will reflect on examples of North American urban conditions in the early and middle part of the twentieth century. In this way, the course offers a general perspective on the co-production of subjectivities and cities while more specifically revealing essences and aspects of modern American urbanism.
Close analysis of theoretical readings is essential to the course, in addition to a theorizing of spatial practices that emerges from one's own critical reflection of inhabitation, urbanism, and modern living. Thus, discussion and critical engagement with one's peers are also essential to the course. Course assignments include weekly response papers and a final research paper on a topic of your choice.
04475: Case Studies in Critical Conservation: Strategies for Curating the Built Environment (HIS 0447500)
Architecture, Urban Planning and Design
Lecture - 4 credits
Friday 10:30 - 1:30 Gund - Gropius
Jana Cephas
Course Description
This course analyzes case studies in conservation as a means for developing projective strategies for interpreting and curating buildings, landscapes, and cities. More specifically, the course examines the use of design to conserve and convey the significance of sites. Students will conduct in-depth research and analysis of sites and their social landscapes with the aim of curating aspects of the built environment to reveal its inner histories. We will tackle the controversies inherent to urban conservation and attempt to develop proposals that engage these controversies rather than dismissing them. The first part of the course focuses on theoretical and historical readings and case studies that identify core issues relevant to interpretation planning, including material culture analysis, intangible heritage and cultural intimacy, visitor accessibility, assisting the public experience of significant sites, and policies affecting the interpretation and planning of sites. The second part of the course focuses more closely on the interpretation of urban sites, the various meanings of "conservation" in an urban context, and, in particular, the curation of the urban environment as an act of critical conservation.
Topics for class sessions include: Conservation by Design; The Historic City in Its Modern Setting; Conflict and Resolution Planning; Interpreting Modernism; Social Memory and Civic Memory; Industrial Archaeology in Principle and Practice; Public Celebration as Ephemeral Urban Planning; Reconstructing Identity; The Politics of Preserving the (Very) Recent Past; Crafting the Digital Archive; and Material Conservation and Its Social Histories.
Each student will complete a series of weekly project-based assignments that you will then discuss during the relevant class sessions. These assignments will culminate in a final project—the curation of a site of interest—that you will present during exam week.
05211: Cities by Design II (SES 0521100)
Urban Planning and Design
Lecture - 4 credits
Tuesday Thursday 10:00 - 11:30 Gund - Piper
Rahul Mehrotra, Erkin Ozay, Eve Blau, Ricky Burdett, Jose Castillo, Jana Cephas, Peter Rowe, Christine Smith
Course Description
The year-long 'Cities by Design' course is mandatory for all incoming Masters of Urban Design Students. All other students are welcome to enroll in the course by semester, and need not do so in sequence.
Cities by Design studies urban form. Each semester, 'Cities by Design' will examine six cities as case studies in order to expose students to a range of factors that affect the design of contemporary cities in various geographical contexts. The case studies will focus on both the urban condition as a whole by exploring processes of urban evolution, and on the study of urban fragments and projects. Each case study will be comprised of three or four lectures and one discussion section. The Spring Case Studies consists of Berlin, London, Mexico City, Rome, Detroit, and Mumbai.
Two main pedagogical objectives guide the course: (1) to engage students in a comparative study of cities that will broaden their definition of the 'urban', and (2) to build the historical framework within which they will identify the urban characteristics and design strategies that render particular cities distinct. Comparative analyses of the urban case studies will be guided by the following eight themes, which will be explored through the lectures, section discussions, and assigned readings:
1. The city's genealogy and key historical events, phases of development & patterns of growth.
2. The ways in which the terrain, geography, and infrastructural development constrain and present opportunities for the city's development and ambitions.
3. The city's planning and design culture and decision-making institutions.
4. The challenges that social equity present to planning and design in the city.
5. The orchestration of the city's relationship to the broader region.
6. How the particular city contributes to a definition of the 'urban' condition.
7. The framing and design of key urban projects/case studies.
8. The city's planning institutions, historical conditions, urban forms, or ambitions, etc. that have contributed to its iconicity in a global context.
Term grades will be based on attendance and participation in both lectures and section discussions, biweekly response papers, and a final term paper.
Faculty for Spring 2014 to include: Rahul Mehrotra and Erkin Ozay (course coordinators), with Eve Blau, Ricky Burdett, Jose Castillio, Jana Cephas, Peter Rowe, and Christine Smith.
Teaching Fellows: Ozlem Altinkaya and Olga Touloumi

Architecture, Landscape Architecture, Urban Planning and Design
Independent Study - 8 credits
Susan Snyder, Jana Cephas, Joyce Klein-Rosenthal, Yanni Loukissas, Erika Naginski, Krzysztof Wodiczko, George Thomas
Course Description
The Final Project will consist of a theoretical/position component, and of a practical/experimental component. The scope of each of the two components will be determined according to the student's preference, and considering the specific character of the project in consultation with the area coordinator and the advisor. In exceptional cases the final project may be solely based on (expanded in scope and ambition) a theoretical component. A theoretical, written component is required for all final projects. The final project is equivalent to 8 units of coursework.
Theoretical/Position component
A written document presenting the original contribution to, and original argument for your artistic/design/research project defended within the context of current discourses in relevant disciplinary fields.
The theoretical argument must present the original methodology of the project and position it in relation to:
- Relevant present day artistic and design practices and their specific methodologies
- Relevant theoretical and critical discourses (including your elaborations on relevant 'pro' and 'contra' positions)
- The relevant historical tradition.
Practical/Experimental component
This component involves an original artistic/design project conceived, developed and presented as a public presentation, exhibition, installation, performance, action, and intervention in a physical or/and electronic space. The public presentation is a crucial part of the final project and is required. The Final Project's printed presentation as publishable document (that contains the theoretical argument and a graphic and textual presentation of the practical/experimental component)is also required.

ORLANDO, Fla. -- Through all the trials and tribulations, the bouts with doubt and the corresponding hits to his confidence, Tiger Woods has been an infrequent tournament contender.
Think about the past year, since his return to golf after a self-imposed exile: Masters, U.S. Open, Chevron ... that's really it.
The game's most prolific winner and contender has rarely been part of the discussion when it comes to chasing tournament hardware.
Which is why Friday's 4-under-par 68 at the Bay Hill Club -- warts and all -- was significant on at least one level.
It gave him a chance heading into the weekend.
"We are trying to build towards the first major, and that's kind of how my game is headed towards," Woods said rather routinely after his second round at the Arnold Palmer Invitational. "It's building and it's coming."
With the Masters looming in just two weeks, that is not insignificant.
And it is a reminder of what was truly a remarkable accomplishment at Augusta National in 2010.
Having spent five months away from the game -- by his own accord, of course -- Woods made his debut at Augusta National with a world of eyes glaring at him. That he shot a first-round 68 -- his lowest opening day score ever at the Masters -- and managed to tie for fourth, in retrospect, was quite a feat.
Aside from the unofficial Chevron World Challenge, where he lost in a playoff to Graeme McDowell, Woods has yet to better that finish.
When asked about this Friday, Woods downplayed it. "What helped last year is that I know the golf course," he said of Augusta National. "It's not like we go to a venue that we've never played before or something we had not seen for five or 10 years. We play it each and every year, and I was able to get a feel for it, go up there a couple of times, play practice rounds. That certainly helps."
Fair enough. Woods used his considerable course knowledge and a good bit of will at Augusta National to produce a result that all these months later looks so much more impressive.
In the meantime, he has switched swing coaches and endured more struggles than success.
A tie for 10th two weeks ago at the WGC-Cadillac Championship is his only top-10 of the season, and he was never in contention.
The closest he has been this year came at the Dubai Desert Classic, where he was four shots back of Rory McIlroy and in a tie for fifth place through two rounds. He got as close as one stroke back going into the final round, but shot 75 to tie for 20th.
Here, Woods managed to get within striking distance -- 10th place and six strokes behind Martin Laird, who has a 1-shot lead on Spencer Levin and K.J. Choi.
For Woods, it has come to this in his quest to get back to his winning ways.
"It's hard when you have to think so much," said Sean Foley, Woods' swing coach, who acknowledged that this has been a difficult process for the game's former No. 1 player.
"He's obviously got a very solid foundation," Foley said. "He's arguably the greatest golfer of all time. If he was to write a book on what he does mentally, it would probably be a lot better than a sports psychologist.
"I think with everything he went through, his divorce ... if you don't have clarity on that front, you come out to the golf course, you've got five hours to think about it. And if you're not confident with your swing -- I don't care who you are, you're playing PGA Tour courses in different conditions."
And the conditions Woods endured during Thursday's opening round were some of the toughest of the year. There were 14 players, including McDowell, who failed to break 80. Levin's 66 was remarkable considering the scoring average was 74.733.
For Woods, who hit just four fairways, his opening 73 was much better than the score looked. It was a windy day, with lots of trouble, and he managed to somehow limit the damage.
Friday, with five birdies and a bogey, he moved up the board when few were taking advantage of some tamer conditions. The 68 was his second-lowest score of the year on the PGA Tour, bettered only by his final round at Doral. He hit just six fairways but managed to hit 12 greens and needed just 26 putts -- often the part of the game that has held him back.
"I'm right there," Woods said. "Long weekend ahead of us with temperatures supposed to be getting up. ... I hit the ball probably as well as I did coming in yesterday all day today. And I left probably five putts short that were dead-center. So this could have been a pretty special round."
Foley said the 68 was "the highest he could have shot," and all of that bodes well.
But Foley again was preaching patience, even if everyone else expects quick results, with the questions sure to keep coming.
"I'm confident in the direction he is headed," Foley said. "And I have been. People go, 'When is he going to be Tiger Woods again?' That's just stupid. He is Tiger Woods. He's just struggling a bit.
"It's happened to everybody who plays sports. It's happened to Jordan, it happened to Gretzky, it happened to Nicklaus. It happened to Federer. They spoil you for so long that when they start doing things less than that way ... the problem is they were born a human being."
It is way too early to say Woods is back. But to get there, he needs to first get into contention. At least he has done that.

Books...expand us with their novel perspectives and emotional force. They simultaneously illuminate our individual circumstances and affirm the essential commonalities of humanity.
-Mark Sisson
Why I choose Bibliotherapy:
Bibliotherapy was listed as a tool in the chapter on behavior management in our classroom management textbook. I had a basic idea of what it was, but wanted to learn more. Especially after learning about books as a therapeutic tool in our literacy class.
The five most important things that I learned:
1. Bibliotherapy helps students to solve their problems by identifying with the characters in a book. They see how those characters solve their problems, and can learn from that.
2.Film and poetry can also be used in this manner.
3. After World War II, bibliotherapeutic groups flourished, as this was a form of treatment used on soldiers in psychiatric institutions.
4. Bibliotherapy helps you learn more about your students, and they about you.
5. Caution is necessary when implementing bibliotherapy, the wrong book, or the right book at the wrong time can make the problem worse.
For Successful Bibliotherapy
The reader should be able to identify with the main character, relate emotionally to situations described in the book, and gain personal insight from the story.
-Classroom Management: A Proactive Approach
Books as a Therapeutic Tool
Gregory and Vessey (2004) explored the use of children's books as a successful intervention strategy for school nurses to help students with bullying.
They found that through the use of bibliotherapy, children began to communicate their own experience with bullying and have been able to develop coping strategies to deal with teasing and harassment.
-Philippine Association of Academic/Research Librarians
CautionsTeachers should be familiar with the books they share with the students
Be careful of topic selection, unless you have cleared it with parents/administration
-Anne Workman

My favorite website:
This website gives a great summery of what bibliotherapy is, and how to use it. Also included are links to websites with book lists that are appropriate for this type of program. Also featured on this page is a link to a video explaining bibliotherapy. That video touches on the use of film for the same purposes.

TechnoServe helped Mónica Jacinto and the other women behind Kask'i increase their sales and create a better future for their families.
Mónica Jacinto once struggled to support herself and her four children. After her husband left, she sometimes went without food so that her children could eat. Determined to become financially independent, she joined an association of women from Guatemala's San Lucas Tolimán region. Together they started producing fruit juices using a simple blender and formed the business Kask'i.
TechnoServe helped the women of Kask'i improve their business and marketing skills, acquire better equipment and reach new markets. After working with TechnoServe, the business increased its production and began selling their product for a better price. The added income has helped Mónica provide her children with better food, clothes and an education without borrowing money or sacrificing her own well-being.

How can we protect an image on our web site from being copied?

There is no effective way to prevent someone from downloading a picture presented on a website. There are some methods to prevent the casual user from saving an image, such as disabling right-click or using a transparent overlay with CSS. But all methods are archaic and futile.
For example, here are some of the many ways I can save an image from the web:
You cannot.
Everything that is being received can be captured in one way or another.
Capturing can occur at various levels leading to either lossless or lossy results, for example on a computer when dealing with data you could capture the bits that you receive from the server, from those bits you can reconstruct the image perfectly if you know its structure.
At a higher level you can for example try to capture the whole image file that you receive which requires no reconstruction but may not always be possible. On yet another level you can capture the representation of the image by capturing the screen, this usually leads to some loss of quality.
Another thing that comes to mind is simply remembering the picture and reproducing it in whatever medium.
You can make it difficult for novice users to copy images from your site using tools that disable right click, embedding images as backgrounds instead of inline, preventing direct access to images via server-side rules, etc. -- but ultimately there is no way to fully prevent someone from copying an image if they really want it.

So, before I had noticed this game in the store I had not heard much about it, neither did the guy behind the counter however I noticed it was from Square Enix which straight away brought about some mixed feelings with me.
At first I thought, "Oh, great! A Square Enix title!" but then quickly remembered that their last few releases have been nothing but fail, largely due to the story and characters....which are the most important part of a Role Playing Game! Think Lost Odyssey, Star Ocean, even Final Fantasy 13 in the beginning with Hope...what do those three titles have in common? To me, these titles seemed to be a case of Square Enix listening to their audience instead of themselves. I felt, for the most part of the characters, embarrassed playing them through, even cringing at their noobish-like behavior. Those kids in Lost Odyssey, the brat in Star Ocean that kept pretending to be a pro monster hunter, Hope in Final Fantasy...they seriously must of been targetting that niche market out there of the illegitimate bitch male asian under 18 that wears five layers of clothing on a 40 degree day and sips on pearl bubble milk tea whilst stealing their Mum's hair straightener so they can do their hair while listening to J-Pop.
But, upon reading the manual of Nier when I got home with some degree of understanding and actually playing the game for a few hours, I was in for a pleasant surprise: Square Enix went a different direction and actually put the story and characters before graphics and sound. Make no mistake though, the music score fits the bill perfectly to the game, though the graphics are not perfect but they do have their nice moments. The controls are a bit sensitive at first but once you begin playing through you understand why and appreciate the fast paced movement as you will need it when facing enemies. The gameplay itself is nothing original - think of it like a mix between Zelda and then mix some other insert-a-squareenix-jrpg-here and you have the basic premises for gameplay...but, it is FUN. It is simple also and more importantly relevant to what you actually need to do and use. The environments are vast and varied and keep things interesting as you progress through.
Another thing I was pleased about was the lack of save points. Yes, that's right. A lack of save points. Why am I pleased? I feel Square-Enix in their past few titles have made this horrid mistake of making save points too convenient and of too many - so there is never a sense of risk in losing all your precious treasure and kills you have gained going through a dungeon. So what if you die? Simply reload and you are only a minute behind. Nier is different, and reminds me of the way action rpgs/j-rpg's in general use to be. That sense of caution and actually putting some thought behind what items you may need or whether or not you feel your character is strong to go against any particular enemy in the field as you travel, of course you have the option to just avoid them entirely, since it's not turn based and in real-time. By the way, the enemies are not the most original, but again they do have their moments where the "woah" factor kicks in.
Some niggling things already; The finishing move system in combat feels fickle and sometimes trying to aim for the timer spot feels like it takes more time then it should. The fishing system could have used a bit of work also.
I will continue to add more as I keep going through the game.
tl; dr - It's a great game so far with forgivable faults. Buy it if you like action-rpg's. A refreshing change from the faggotry Square-Enix has churned lately.
I will give it a 7.5/10.
