GSD Course Bulletin - Fall 2013
This term's information was last refreshed on 12 MAY 2015 14:55:09.
Courses taught by Judith Grant Long
01121: First Semester Core Urban Planning Studio (STU 0112100)
Urban Planning and Design
Core Studio - 8 credits
Tuesday Thursday 2:00 - 6:00
Judith Grant Long, Ana Gelabert-Sanchez, Kathy Spiegelman
Course Description
The first semester core studio of the Master of Urban Planning program introduces students to the fundamental knowledge and technical skills used by urban planners to create, research, analyze, and implement plans and projects for the built environment. The studio operates in conjunction with GSD 2129: GIS and Visual Representation, which introduces students to spatial analysis and representation techniques to communicate planning analysis and ideas. The studio will use the City of Boston as the students' planning laboratory and students will be expected to understand the city through the lenses of planning elements such as demographics, economic attributes, market forces, and public and private stakeholder interests, all of which shape the city and inform decisions about land use, development, and infrastructure. The studio is organized into four parts, each representing a fundamental stage of the urban planning process.
- Part 1 explores the importance of ideas as the basis for urban planning. Students will be exposed to the power of ideas as reflected in the kind of city Boston is today. An emphasis is placed on identifying sources of creative thinking, how ideas are expressed, and how they link to urban planning outcomes.
- Part 2 explores research skills and analytic tools used by urban planners to understand the built environment. The integration of learning from GSD 2129 will provide techniques for recording and representing the results of the research.
- Part 3 explores the making of plans for the built environment. Using the creative and research skills developed in Parts 1 and 2 of the studio, students prepare functional urban plans, addressing land use, related building types, infrastructure requirements, open space needs, and other aspects of physical plans.
- Part 4 focuses on the strategies that planners use to implement their ideas. Students explore the range of implementation tools necessary to realize a plan, including zoning, development guidelines, phasing, sources and uses of funds, public engagement, and roles and responsibilities, among others. Throughout the semester the principles of urban planning with regard to equity, environment, and economics are explored with regard to planning proposals.
Prerequisites: Enrollment in the Urban Planning program.
05421: Introduction to Local Economic Development (SES 0542100)
Urban Planning and Design
Lecture - 4 credits
Monday Wednesday 11:30 - 1:00 42 Kirkland 1G
Judith Grant Long
Course Description
This course introduces students to local economic development from the perspective of urban planning. Students learn about the theories, analytic frameworks and indicators used in the creation of local economic development policies in the US, and the role of planners in linking these policies to built environment outcomes. Using the Boston region as a case study, students explore several different kinds of place-based strategies including the Seaport innovation district, the Downtown Crossing business improvement district, the BRA/EDIC Marine Industrial Park, and the Boston Convention and Exhibition Center. Students are also exposed to economic development finance including the fundamentals of bond finance, tax increment financing, among others. The course is delivered through a combination of lectures, case studies, guest speakers, and student presentations. While there is no formal pre-requisite, previous coursework in economics is recommended.

One of the interesting things about architecture to me has always been finding a happy medium between what a business can afford and what it really needs to get done. For a long time, I have been a big proponent of adding small chunks of architecture to existing projects to gradually get things done. In a lot of cases this really works, but sometimes external forces come into play that make me hold up the banner and really push for architectural change as a project on it's own.
Thanks to the local, state, and federal governments that have a direct effect on me and my job, I'm holding up the banner today. We are in big trouble and now the sins of the past are going to start costing us money. We haven't been creating systems that were as secure as they should be for a variety of reasons. I'll be sarcastic here but you'll get the point. Developers don't care about infrastructure. IT pro's don't care about development. Management is very rarely built into applications at the core. Bean counters aren't being exposed to the risks associated with minimalist implementation budgets. on and on...
So here are the things that scare the crap out of me and they aren't technology. They are the well meaning politicians of our country creating laws without an understanding of the direct cost associated with them. There is uproar over something and they create a law with advice from their yes-men to supposedly fix the problem. Too bad they can't buy a clue about technology and don't understand that you just can't throw a switch to implement their great ideas.
First, for financial institutions we have the FTC Safeguards Rule:
The Rule will require financial institutions over which the FTC has jurisdiction to develop, implement, and maintain a comprehensive information security program that contains administrative, technical, and physical safeguards. As part of its program, each financial institution must:
And if you get it wrong, here is an example of what happens (Read the complaint): Federal Trade Commission File No. 052 3136
If that doesn't scare you enough, maybe these will (from http://www.privacy.ca.gov/lawenforcement/laws.htm )
Financial Information Privacy Act, California- Financial Code sections 4050 - 4060This law prohibits financial institutions from sharing or selling personally identifiable nonpublic information without obtaining a consumer's consent, as provided. It provides for a plain-language notice of the privacy rights it confers. The bill requires that (1) a consumer must "opt in" before a financial institution may share personal information with an unaffiliated third party, (2) consumers be given an opportunity to "opt out" of sharing with a financial institution's financial marketing partners, and (3) consumers be given the opportunity to "opt out" of sharing with a financial institution's affiliates, with some exceptions. When an affiliate is wholly owned, in the same line of business, subject to the same functional regulator and operates under the same brand name, an institution may share its customers' personal information with the affiliate without providing an opt-out right. It takes effect July 1, 2004.
Security Breach Notice - Civil Code sections 1798.29 and 1798.82 - 1798.84This law requires a business or a State agency that maintains unencrypted computerized data that includes personal information, as defined, to notify any California resident whose unencrypted personal information was, or is reasonably believed to have been, acquired by an unauthorized person. The type of information that triggers the notice requirement is an individual's name plus one or more of the following: Social Security number, driver's license or state ID card number, or financial account numbers. The law's intention is to give affected individuals the opportunity to take steps to protect themselves from identity theft.
Social Security Number Confidentiality - California Civil Code sections 1798.85-1798.86, 1785.11.1, 1785.11.6 and 1786.60 This law restricts businesses and state and local agencies from publicly posting or displaying Social Security numbers. It also bans embedding SSNs on a card or document using a bar code, chip, magnetic strip or other technology, in place of removing the number as required by law. The law takes effect gradually, from 2002 through 2007.
After speaking with many businesses, these laws are a simple matter of risk/reward. In some cases it will cost them millions of dollars to go back and completely correct all of the issues with their systems OR hundreds of thousands of dollars in penalties when they get caught. If you were the CFO, which solution would you choose? Probably wait and pay the penalty because you don't have the budget anywhere to fund the fixes. But what if you were the CEO who had to worry about your company's reputation and it's affect on stock price? Maybe if you understood the risk to the bottom line of your business you might find a way to open up some budget to fix the problems or at least get a handle on the extent of problems.
Yes, I completely understand that most of these things are GOOD for society at large but this is again another great display of the government not applying the same rules to technology as they do to other industries. Or is our industry just doing a horrible job of keeping up on legislation that is affecting us, educating law makers and providing more balanced guidance to help solve these problems. The parallel I'll draw is that if government told the auto industry tomorrow that every car being built next year needed to run on Hydrogen. They could do it but at what cost. The auto industry spends a lot of resources making sure that changes like this will take place over decades and not months.
These are serious issues affecting both our business and our customers today and much of the blame lies directly on our doorstep, but many of these issues were not know ten or even five years ago so why should we have the burden of trying to correct them overnight?
What do you think?

Qualified undergraduate students in Eugene Lang College of Liberal Arts (seniors only) may register for the Introduction and Advanced Substance Abuse courses in the CMHSAC curriculum subject to the normal restrictions.
There are no separate eligibility requirements for admission to the CMHSAC. Any student admitted to the
general MA program in psychology is eligible for the CMHSAC. However, students must apply separately for the CMHSAC, which can only be done after a student has been admitted to and registered for courses in the Master of Arts Program in Psychology.
Application to the CMHSAC requires submission of the CMHSAC enrollment form, submitted by the start of the second semester in the general MA program, although there is no formal deadline for enrolling. Students may take any number of required courses before submitting a formal application, but they will not be permitted to apply for fieldwork placement and cannot register for the required Ethics course until they have formally enrolled in the concentration. Students are typically given the CMHSAC enrollment form during the first few weeks of the Introduction to Substance Abuse Counseling Course and the forms are then given to the student advisors by Dr. Talley. Students who wish to participate in fieldwork are strongly encouraged to complete the CMHSAC enrollment form by the end of the first semester as they will then be eligible to begin fieldwork during the second semester of the MA Program under the supervision of Dr. Talley.
Qualified undergraduate students studying psychology at the Eugene Lang College, The New School for LIberal Arts (Seniors only) may register for the Introduction and Advanced Substance Abuse courses in the CMHSAC curriculum subject to the normal restrictions. Students in the accelerated Lang BA/MA Program are also strongly encouraged to apply to the CMHSAC.

Asian Buyers Shun U.S. Wheat
Importers Wary After Discovery of Genetically Modified Strain in Oregon
Ripple effects from the recent discovery of genetically altered wheat in Oregon spread around the world on Friday, as big buyers of U.S. wheat took steps to protect their food supplies.
Some South Korean flour mills have suspended purchases of U.S. wheat, one day after Japan banned imports of a wheat variety grown in Oregon. An official of Taiwan's flour-milling industry said its mills, which rely on the U.S. for more than three-quarters of their imports, are reviewing incoming shipments.
The European Union recommended that its members test "soft white wheat," which accounts for 17% of U.S. wheat exports, for genetically modified grain. Used to make noodles and pastries, some soft white wheat was found to be genetically modified on a farm in Oregon. No country currently permits the commercial production of modified wheat, although agribusiness companies have developed strains that have been field tested.
The U.S. Department of Agriculture has identified Monsanto Co. MON 0.69 % as the creator of the strain of genetically modified wheat found in Oregon. The St. Louis company says it is working with the USDA to confirm the results and is conducting its own investigation.
The news that more U.S. wheat customers were raising concerns initially pushed wheat futures lower for the second day in a row, as traders weighed the threat that the discovery of modified wheat could pose to demand. But wheat futures later recovered, rising 1% to $7.055 a bushel on the Chicago Board of Trade after falling as low as $6.925 intraday.
"The market assumed the worst right off the bat, but traders think the situation will not be as bad as originally thought," said Jason Britt, president of brokerage Central States Commodities in Kansas City, Mo.
Most traders are betting that the appearance of modified wheat in Oregon is an isolated incident and are waiting for an explanation from the USDA.
The USDA said Friday that U.S. officials are working to assure trading partners that the wheat shipments are safe. "At this time, we have no information that this wheat variety has entered commerce," the USDA said in a statement.
The U.S. is the world's top wheat exporter, but it faces growing competition from Ukraine, Russia and Australia. Monsanto has said it doesn't believe the presence of any modified wheat, if verified, posed food, feed or environmental concerns.
Still, the news prompted Japan to ban imports of the wheat Thursday. On Friday, buyers in Japan bought French, Australian and Canadian wheat, but there were no applications for U.S. wheat, an agriculture ministry official in Tokyo said.
There are similar worries in South Korea, where private companies import some 1.2 million tons of U.S. wheat each year.
"Our consumers are inquiring about this and we have decided to wait" before buying U.S. wheat until more details are available, said a flour miller in Seoul.
The EU, which has "zero tolerance" for genetically modified food, has asked Monsanto to provide a method to detect the strain. If the strain is found, the grain won't be placed on the market, said Frédéric Vincent, spokesman for health and consumer policy, in a statement Friday.
The European Union imports more than one million metric tons of U.S. wheat each year. Of that, 80% was soft white wheat, with Spain the biggest importer of that variety, according to the European Commission.

After a long, tiresome day Bella meets Edward on the commute home from NYC and spends sixty-two minutes with the handsome stranger. Written for the Support Stacie Author Auction.
My mother always said that loving someone is easy if you can manage to keep your heart open for them. What she didn't tell me was that love is also giving someone the power to destroy you, knowing they will, and forgiving them for it in advance. I couldn't forgive like that. I wouldn't.

I don't think I can. Whatever you see in me, it's not love. It's this lost, ugly thing I've given you to deal with. It's pitiful."
Charlotte Grace lives in ignorance, a human in a human's world just beginning to see how heartless a place it can really be. Her first impression of Alice Cullen is skewed and fleeting - a little girl wandering out into busy Seattle traffic, lost, confused. She makes a split-second decision that thrusts her headfirst into a chaotic, supernatural mess of guilt and fault, and comes quickly to see that there are some things not even the greatest of fortune tellers can foresee. The path she always thought she'd travel is broken and left undiscovered, and in its place, will the Cullens by her side, she finds herself wandering life's much more dangerous backroads.
A gift for my buddy, a one shot inspired by Bad Girlfriend by Theory of a Deadman, using the lovely characters of Wicked Game by Emerald_Rosalie. Bella's been a bad girl.
Edward Cullen made Bella Swan's life a living hell from age ten to twelve. Finally fed up with the torment and teasing, she moved to Phoenix. Now she's seventeen, beautiful, and has a new sense of confidence. When her mother sends her back to Forks for her senior year, she is determined to shake things up.
NC-17 for sexuality, underage drinking, and language. OOC, just to be safe. Some canon pairings, some absolutely the opposite.
Edward Cullen is a somewhat lonely boy who only associates with the people he loves and trusts. He refers to these people as his family, and he doesn't just count blood as a relation.
He's almost perfectly content to remain the sort of seventh wheel in his family, but the summer before his Senior year at Forks High begins, he meets Bella Swan. Bella is a loner, too, but she's also completely different from Edward and anyone he's ever met.
So what happens when Edward meets this beautiful young woman during his last childhood summer? What will he learn, and what mistakes will he make? What mistakes will he allow her to make?
And, more importantly—can the connection they build last through the summer?
Bella works at an amusement park, and Edward haunts her every fantasy. Upon meeting, they are forever attached. Ink, tats, and hot daddysexed out Carlisle.
Edward and Bella have only recently confessed their love for one another. How will Edward react when the new kid in town shows up setting his sites on Bella as well? AH, OOC, ExB FLUFF and Humor. "The Project" Sequel, but can stand alone.
The trauma suffered by Bella for three years has left lasting mental scars. Esme and Carlisle are finally offered the chance to be true parents to a teenager that needs them. Surrounded by the support and love of the Cullen family, Bella begins to grow and finds out there is more to life than simply surviving.
Set after Edward leaves Bella in "New Moon". After Edward leaves her in the forest, Bella is still determined to fulfill Alice's vision. After all, the Cullens aren't the only vampires on the planet. What happens when she meets another vampire in the hospital where she works? Why did she fight so hard to forget the past?
Not a usual 'Bella meets the Cullens again' story – concentrates more on Bella's story and her journey to acceptance.
What do you do when the person you love the most, leaves before his time? Bella and Edward were happily engaged, to be married in mere months, before tragedy struck, and Edward was gone at the hands of a drunk driver. As Bella is forced to continue on without him, she begins to realize that not everything is as it appears. Strange things begin to happen, and when Bella feels someone watching her, she knows that not even death can keep them apart. But, did Edward really die? Or did his sinister brother have something against the brother who left behind his family, for the woman he loved? Can Bella forgive, after she was forced to mourn? Can she go back, if she was forced to move on?
There's a sort of Shakespearian delight in the way Bella Swan hates Edward Cullen.

I couldn't believe my eyes. I was pissed. No. I was more than pissed. I was LIVID. He had the nerve, to send me this invitation after he promised to stay out of my life. I hear nothing, no matter how grateful for that I was, and then this! More than all of that, I was pissed at myself. For having this kind of reaction. For not tearing it up the second I saw it.

Strongly correlated Fermi systems are among the most intriguing and fundamental systems in physics. We show that the herbertsmithite ZnCu3(OH)6Cl2 can be regarded as a new type of strongly correlated electrical insulator that possesses properties of heavy-fermion metals with one exception: it resists the flow of electric charge. We demonstrate that herbertsmithite's low-temperature properties are defined by a strongly correlated quantum spin liquid made with hypothetic particles such as fermionic spinons that carry spin 1/2 and no charge. Our calculations of its thermodynamic and relaxation properties are in good agreement with recent experimental facts and allow us to reveal their scaling behavior, which strongly resembles that observed in heavy-fermion metals. Analysis of the dynamic magnetic susceptibility of strongly correlated Fermi systems suggests that there exist at least two types of its scaling.

hi I have several different 2.5.1 WordPress Blogs that are having the same issue. They each use themes we found at themes.wordpress.org. What's happening is that if I select month and name permalinks instead of the default type, some of the pages on the site update and work fine at the new URLs and other pages generate CGI errors. They're all in one category, there isn't anything special about the pages that I can tell, but they don't work. I've read through the forums and Docs and haven't found anything there yet that helps. I activated Mark Jaquith's Disable Canonical URL Redirection Plugin to see if that fixed the problem but it made no difference.
CGI Error
The specified CGI application misbehaved by not returning a complete set of HTTP headers.
The main site I'm concerned about is http://www.hotelvegasdeals.com/
For example, when I have permalinks set to month and name, the Cool in Vegas link in the header generates the above CGI error, but the link to Diamonds in the Desert works fine.
I'm not sure if maybe the site index needs to be forced updated or something to make all the permalinks work?

I can't use gmail or Google log-in enabled openAuth from my browser in Ubuntu, but the same computer (It is a dual boot) works fine for everything in Windows. I connect through a Dynex router, and a Clear Wireless modem.
The web works fine otherwise in Ubuntu. I tried resetting the router, clearing cache, etc., and the problem has continued for a while. It seems I can try to log in, but I can never get to my email or use openAuth (the only two services I tried), it just gets stuck on a blank page. I strongly suspect that I am getting timeouts during https data transfer.
Is there a way to troubleshoot this? I have little knowledge of network administration, but I thought if I could keep a log of the actual data transfer occuring, I could compare what is happening in Ubuntu vs. Windows.
For example, is it a DNS problem that I can't find the https server, or is it that the data packets take too long, or is it that there is something wrong with the authorisation somehow. Is it possible to record these events? How could I go about finding out why this is happening? Also, my Ubuntu browsers work fine on my work network.

Should parents be forced to testify?
By DORSEY WILMARTH
Assistant Managing Editor
Next Question: Should those who earn higher incomes pay a higher percentage of taxes than those who earn lower incomes?
TODAY'S DILEMMA: Should parents be forced to testify against their children?
THE DEBATE: There are certain things a parent should never have to do. The first is to bury their own child; the second is testify against that child in a court of law.
While there may be nothing we can do to prevent a parent from having to suffer through their own child's death, there is certainly something we can do about forcing parents to testify against their children.
"I'm against the parents having to testify against children," said Amarillo retiree Daryl Roberts. "There's something in a home that should be left away from the court of law, and from what we've seen in Washington, D.C., I think that's the best way to destroy a family."
Roberts refers to the highly publicized case of Monica Lewinsky, whose mother, Marcia Lewis, has been forced to testify before a grand jury about her daughter's relationship with President Clinton.
In late March, Lewis, distraught over being forced to testify, appeared with her psychiatrist before a federal judge seeking to avoid further grand jury appearances. The judge denied her motion.
While most of the respondents to this dilemma seem to believe that parents should not usually be forced to testify against their children, they did say the circumstances should dictate.
Jessica Jasper is an Amarillo middle school student.
"I think it just depends on what the children do. If it's something really bad, and if they really need to testify, they should," she said.
Those involved in the legal process take drastically different views, though.
Local attorney Selden Hale said parents should not be forced to testify against their children.
"The family institution is more important than a temporary advantage by a prosecutor," Hale said. "We ought to allow some precise privilege to parents (not to testify against their children).
On the other side of the bench you'll find Potter County Justice of the Peace Haven Dysart, who said parents should testify against their children.
"I don't think there should be a privilege extended anytime," Dysart said.
Randall County Criminal District Attorney James Farren agrees.
He said he wasn't sure what the question meant by "forced" to testify.
"I think any witness who has truthful information to share with a jury ... there should be some method whereby they can be called to testify before a jury or judge. ...
"A privilege not to reveal truthful information should be very rare."
Privilege may be rare, but it is not unheard of.
Spouses generally cannot be forced to testify against each other; and the privilege between doctors and patients, and lawyers and clients is well-known.
"How can it be that the law does not protect confidential communications between parent and child?" said Amarillo attorney Adair Buckner in her Feb. 26 column in the Amarillo Globe-Times.
"Frankly, there does not seem to be a good answer," she wrote.
The bond between a child and a parent is one of the strongest natural bonds that exists. To ask parents to intentionally damage their child is tantamount to asking them to hurt themselves. If we can grant privilege to spouses, we can certainly grant it to parents.
The bond between parents and children should be protected, and no parent should be forced to testify against their offspring.

"It seems to me the episodes that we're doing now seem more like classic Who. We're going back to that style."
So says Ben Wheatley in an interview with io9. The Capaldi era is being styled as a "Back to Basics" approach (those words being used by Capaldi to describe his costume), with the Radio Times reporting "a clean slate" of storylines for series eight, and a Doctor who – in the words of Steven Moffat - "is not apologising, he's not flirting with you – that's over."
Do you have salt ready? Take a pinch. What does "Back to Basics" mean, anyway, for a show that's fifty years old and is built around regular upheaval? Is Capaldi going to kidnap some teachers in monochrome? Are there bases under siege? Shall we rip off Quatermass some more? Will there be twenty-five minute episodes? Are the BBC going to burn the master copies of the episodes once they're done?
The series will be thirteen episodes long, including the Christmas Special, with no break in the middle. There is at least one two-part story confirmed and a present-day family as recurring characters. Structurally, we're back at the template established under Russell T. Davies, and used by Moffat in his debut run of series five. This is, contextually, the basic Doctor Who is returning to.
Since the show returned in 2005, this has been the format for the majority of its arcs, and of his three series so far, Moffat's first is generally regarded as his most successful (certainly it's Matt Smith's favourite, the actor noting its relative clarity). Few were complaining about complexity in 2010, unlike later arcs, but it was noted that several strands weren't resolved within one series. Three years later, most of them were resolved.
This approach is divisive, but as the last issue of Doctor Who Magazine mentioned that Steven Moffat has planned out series nine, we can't rule out further lengthy plot tendrils (flittering past us in the dark as we lie awake, trying to read too much into the voice that said 'Silence will fall' in the TARDIS). Even if the show structure has returned to its more recent conventions, there will probably be one major series arc completed with a few leftovers at the end of series eight.
For all that the Radio Times mentions a clean slate, we've still got on-going strands such as Clara vs. The TARDIS and Gallifrey Falling No More to look forward to (with Moffat stating he was working on the former plot strand). With series nine being planned, there might well be two series' worth of information to retain for the 2015 Christmas Special to make sense. So, Moffat fans: rejoice! It's business as usual. Moffat haters: prep your DVD collections, it's going to be a long one I'm afraid.
The plot arcs are one thing. If I were writing this in 1988 they wouldn't get a mention. Fans had, at that point, asked new Script Editor Andrew Cartmel to watch Philip Hinchcliffe era stories, essentially to instruct him as to what they thought Doctor Who should be like. The Seventies (by which Doctor Who fans often mean 1970 – 1977) are the benchmark for many in terms of quality, Jon Pertwee and Tom Baker's early tenure being the most beloved part of the original run. Still, while these were processed by Cartmel, he didn't simply try to replicate them. He couldn't (lacking the budget, timeslot, leeway and inclination), and Moffat can't today.
Even if the rumours and buzz coming from the BBC suggest the new series is reminiscent of the Pertwee era, it's going to be filtered through Moffat's storytelling, contemporary production methods, and different audience expectations. The Seventies are influential, but they aren't going to be copied in their entirety. If they couldn't (and wouldn't) do so in 1988, they certainly aren't likely to now.
It's unlikely we'll ever get something as amusingly unimportant as a major villain trying to stop the Magna Carta being signed. We're not going to see the Master turn up mid-series for one episode and kidnap a circus to aid him in his evil schemes, or the Rani accidentally causing the First Defenestration of Prague, without it having some sort of ramification later in the series. That's how things are structured now: The big hitters are finale villains.
We might get something like The Daemons - an end-of-season finale from 1971 that would fit into the current format reasonably well - but it's hard to imagine even that having the scale desired for a post-2005 series. Plus there are different attitudes to violence, gender and monsters now, which means – despite the show now occasionally veering into 12-certificate territory – we won't have any of the PG-rated Hinchcliffe-era horror, no Kensington gore or Janus Thorns, and certainly no companions in leather leotards.
Unlike Hinchcliffe, Moffat is staying around long enough to change strategy mid-way through his run. It's likely that he's done with his contemporary fairy tale approach, his talk is of change. "The rhythm has to alter," he's said, which ties in with the full length run, but the adjectives he's used have mainly been describing the new Doctor and not necessarily the overall tone: "rawer," "madder," "fiercer."
Story-wise, are we likely to be in for a shake-up? Are we going to get some Seventies classics reimagined? Contemporary issues via monster allegories? Series eight has an evil alien banker, so possibly. The UNIT family? We're definitely getting Danny Pink and a recurring pupil, and at least one visit to Coal Hill School (maybe the Doctor will kidnap some teachers). Rumoured episode title "Robots Of Sherwood" has hints of "The Android Invasion," and "Masque Of The Mandragora" to it, with androids in period costume, but tonally you might expect it to be closer to "The Androids Of Tara." This is the thing with back to basics, or even just saying "It'll be more like the Seventies." Doctor Who's basic is that it can do almost anything.
The Seventies, while including the towering peaks of Barry Letts and Terrance Dicks' era, and the Hinchcliffe/Holmes start to Tom Baker's tenure, also includes Graham Williams' influential time on the show. Realistically, the relatively light-hearted, high on imagination and low on budget approach is easier to replicate now than Hinchcliffe's Grand Guignol, disfigured villains, and bursts of violence. Whimsy tends to get you into far less trouble than scarlet stomach wounds.
It's not useful, therefore, to hope for a specific era of the show to return. To say it's more like the Classic Series is open to vast amounts of interpretation, and potentially false hope. It will be, at best, an influence filtered through contemporary sensibilities and a different story length. "Back to Basics" only guarantees a return to a 2010 series-structure.
Expect the words "harken back" to appear in many a review, but do not expect the plot arcs, epic finales, temporal shenanigans, romance, gratuitously implausible science, sonic ex machina, and the occasional bout of incredibly uncomfortable sex-comedy to go away completely any time soon.
It's Doctor Who. There are always new basics.

Religion Youth Pastor Watch
posted by November 4 at 9:30 AMon
A Green County man was sentenced Friday to 10 years in federal prison for using a computer to entice a Madison County girl to engage in sexual activity. Timothy Scott Richerson, 40, of Greensburg, admitted in July in U.S. District Court that he met the victim, a 14-year-old girl, on a MySpace page where he represented himself as a16-year-old male…
In September of 2007, Richersona former youth minister at Freedom Baptist Church in Campbellsvilletraveled from his home to the victims residence, according to a press release from the U.S. District Attorneys Office.
Richerson then picked up the victim and drove her to a nearby location where they kissed. Six days later, he again made the trip to Madison County. They went on a motorcycle ride together and when they were alone together, the defendant digitally penetrated the 14-year-old female and she rubbed his penis, the plea agreement states.

Conflict of Interest Wait, Wasn't I Writing a Novel?
posted by December 4 at 18:45 PMon
Yes, yes, in fact I was. And I did, in fact, write the whole goddamned thing, from beginning to end. I passed the fifty thousand word mark on Thanksgiving and I wound up just shy of 65,000 words on the thirtieth, making my novel almost 15,000 words longer than The Great Gatsby (confidential to F. Scott Fitzgerald: take that!) I've spent the four days since, well, drinking. And now I feel practically normal again.
As I said in previous posts, this is my third completed novel. What have I learned? A full accounting after the jump.
So, what have I learned?
Well, um, nothing.
I hated my book--about a security guard who's positive that his suburban mall is going to be attacked by Al Qaeda during the Christmas shopping season--more than life itself. Although i did learn that it's a lot more fun to write from the point of view of an irredeemably awful, racist, obese pervert than from a wishy-washy stand-in for myself. But for the most part I would write two thousand words before bed and go to sleep hating the very existence of the .doc file stewing on my computer, and then I would wake up in the morning and loathe the idea of sitting down and puking out another thousand words in the morning.
Last year, the book I wrote--about the Seattle mayoral election--was fun to write. I couldn't wait to get to it. Don't get me wrong, they're both bad, but last year's writing was fun. This year's was a drag. That said, this year's novel is probably better: there's a sense of structure that kicked in sometime during the first week and unspooled in an almost appealing way all the way through. It was probably more like what actual, good fiction writing is like, minus the extra obnoxious pain of rewriting, which is what takes up the most time of your good novelists, anyway. I'm not sure if I could be a novelist, even if I wanted to be one.
And will I do it next year? Yeah, I will.
Why? I'm not sure. There's something to be said about having a huge stack of paper with your writing all over it, holding it over your head and dropping it to the floor with a viciously satisfying thwack. It feels like production, the way that crafty people must feel after they've just finished knitting a scarf. Tomorrow, I'm going to sit down with a red pen and just mark the hell out of it, just to put some critical thought back into the venture, which is all about removing critical thought in the name of artistic production.
But next year I'm going to write something exciting, a melodrama in some genre, just to make things more interesting for me. My last three have been literary fiction, and, quite frankly, literary fiction is just boring as hell to write when you've got a word count over your head. I have friends who wrote genre fiction and so they dropped meteors on characters who weren't interesting anymore, they resurrected characters when they realized they had another ten thousand words to go, and they created elaborate agencies that stuck microchips in characters' heads in an effort to control them when their protagonists started acting out of character. That sounds like fun. Hell, I'd wake up every morning to read that.
The thing that surprises me every year in December is how much time every day feels like it has in it: when you spend an hour and a half every day to write a book for thirty days straight and then you suddenly stop, you get a real sense of how much time there is in a day. And it's a real pleasure to spend all that extra time watching creepy old movies.
By the way, as I noted in my first post on the subject, Stranger writers Davida Marion and Cienna Madrid both participated in Nanowrimo for the first time this year. Davida finished hers and Cienna came up shy, but, in her defense, she had other, more hideous things to do, so I think we can forgive her for missing a few thousand words, can't we?

What Happened to Fergie's Face? Fergie Plastic Surgery or Fake Fergie on American Idol?WendyM
Okay, what happened to Fergie's face? During American Idol, the Black Eyed Peas took to the stage to perform… well, I don't know what they sang because I was too busy trying to figure out if it was a fake Fergie or the real deal.
Was that Fergie? Where was Fergie on American Idol?
If that WAS Fergie, what happened to her face?
My vote is that was a fake Fergie – maybe she's sick or something? Because that totally didn't look like Fergie, did it?
We'll keep investigating and let you know what's up with Fergie. It was just… odd.
American Idol Black Eyed Peas fake Fergie vs. Fergie plastic surgery video coming soon!

The HD N1 is a media streaming box, but it's also a cup of coffee. Or, in the words of Dvico's own media notes, a "Cup of Digital Media Time", whatever that actually means.
Not a literal cup of coffee, however. That could be messy, what with the crema interfering with the delicate electronics inside, and the surging electricity messing up the delicate flavour of the beans. Instead, the N1's more "inspired" by a cup of coffee, or more realistically a mug. Dvico's been down the road of whacky round media streaming designs previously with the Dvico TViX 5130 PVR, a design that looked to our eyes like a home-brewing kit.
The N1's mug shape would certainly stand out next to your TV in a way that an ordinary black box wouldn't, but whether that's a good or bad thing is a matter of personal taste. The "handle" of the mug is where the N1's output controls are located, with a single light on the front indicating whether the N1's powered up or on standby. The top of the unit bears a TViX logo, but beyond that it also hides a USB port and SD/MS/MMC card reader underneath a flap. Clicking down on the flap also acts as a power switch. Again, an odd design decision that some will love for being quirky, and others will hate.
The N1's remote control is the exact same model we've seen in other Dvico products. It's not flashy, it's not backlit, but it does cover the major features of the N1. Naturally, as there's no buttons beyond power on the N1 itself, if you lose or break the remote you're in for a world of hurt.

Government's economic plans all sound the same. We need a socioeconomic overhaul
In his latest book on economic and social inclusion, Vusi Gumede addresses the question of how to get the country back on track.
In his latest book on economic and social inclusion, Vusi Gumede addresses the question of how to get the country back on track.
Thabo Mbeki believes the responsibility for SA's failure to achieve its constitutional ideals lies firmly at the feet of its leaders.
Former president Thabo Mbeki was the African Union's chief mediator in the conflict in Sudan that led to the creation of South Sudan in 2011.
All the controversy has returned to haunt the findings of an investigation badly compromised, with the Seriti commission making no findings.
The Thabo Mbeki Foundation issued a statement on Monday denying any connections with the Gupta family as had been reported in the media on Sunday.
The full text of former president Thabo Mbeki's response to the Constitutional Court judgment.
Former President Thabo Mbeki speaks out about former ANC MP Vytjie Mentor, who this week accused the Guptas of offering her a ministerial position.
Not 27 questions, as some other figures of authority face, but a mere 15 for the former president.
About 35 000 babies could have been born without HIV had the president listened to the boy.
The ex-president will be judged harshly for his unrepentant stance over an estimated 300 000 HIV-related deaths, the activist organisation says.
In the latest of his series of letters, former president Thabo Mbeki denies that he ever said "HIV does not cause Aids". Read his full article here.
Critics say that Thabo Mbeki's character matters less than his AIDS denialism, but these things are actually intimately linked.
The National Prosecuting Authority insists there is "no suggestion or evidence" that Thabo Mbeki was behind allegations against the president.
In a letter published on his Facebook page, the former president ignores the concerns of many observers about the legitimacy of the 2002 elections.
The former president's excuse of "national security" for interfering in the prosecution of Jackie Selebi is a misinterpretation of the law.
The former president has accused retired judge Chris Nicholson of putting a "judicial stamp of approval" on allegations against him.
Chairperson feels that freedom of speech only applies to the M&G itself and those with whom it agrees
Former president Thabo Mbeki is back in the public debate - as if nothing has changed. His opinions surely haven't, sadly.

"Phoenix!" Top 5 Page for this destination Phoenix by jumpingnorman
Phoenix Travel Guide: 775 reviews and 1,624 photos
After not seeing each other for 42 years, my Mom (widowed for 12 years from my Irish stepfather Charles) and Tito Emie (a widower) fell in love again!
They were married in a solemn ceremony (February 2006) in one of Phoenix's many man-made lake parks...
I was looking for a place to settle in where it would snow the least, I would earn the most and I would have have a beautiful suburban house close to a major metropolis with a busy airport --- my choices included Las Vegas, my original hometown of San Jose, California, San Diego, and finally, I chose a job in Phoenix!
Although our summers can be painfully hot, we enjoy living in this place which is 4-5 hours from something (San Diego, Los Angeles, Las Vegas and even Mexico are easily reachable by car). The only regret is not having a beach close by --- and so now, that's what we look forward to --- seeing the beaches during our travels!
We are close to the Grand Canyon though and I have probably visited it 50 times! But it's always fun to be close to this natural wonder...
But the longer I live here, the more I realize there's so much too see close to home! Phoenix, Scottsdale, Glendale and Peoria may not be too tourist-friendly because of limited public transportation --- but the Off-the-Beaten Path adventures are unlimited.
From visiting ruins left by the Sinaguan Indians (Tuzigoot Monument) to Hot-air ballooning ---- from the slippery rocks of Sedona's Slide Rock State Park to the eerie Montezuma Well ....from the huge Saguaro Park of Tucson to the safari experience at Out of Africa in Camp Verde...the list goes on and on...
It's always nice to find out (and be surprised) that there's something close to home that you've never been to...that's what Phoenix is for me.
NOW THAT OUR TWINS ARE BIGGER, we are hiking more and enjoying the many trails around us (as of 2010)...I will try to build some tips of the best hikes we've done as a family here in the Phoenix Metropolitan Area.

Hi again, Norman! It's always nice to read and reread your comprehensive travel pages! Best wishes from Ukraine!)
Great Phoenix page. Someday I'll have suck it up and go to the desert again. I hear they play golf there? Birthday greetings from Alaska!
A lovely page on Arizona, Norman, you sure picked the place with the least amount of snow hehehe :D
Great, comprehensive page! I love the Arizona landscape, just wish it wasn't so hot! Great scenery, some fantastic hotels and lots to see within driving distance! Hope to return there some day.
Hi, Norman! Thanks for your great story and pictures! Greetings from UA! ><><><><
Planning on a trip to the Phoenix/Glendale area in late Sept. 2010 and would love to see an NFL game in this beautiful statium. What would be the best way to obtain tickets for this event ?
Norman, fabulous page about your hometown. I would like to visit the Hall of Flame, especially as I didn't know that American firemen are shirtless *winkygrin*. I quite like the croc towel of your son. Keep on jumping. :-)
norman, your tag "jumper of arizona" sounds like an illegal power/electrical connection :)))
your twins make any trip to your pages double fun. they bring extra energy. btw, nice tips and great pictures, especially those showing scenes through 'window' in the rock. but where are the hikes?
Norman, what happened? You didn't happen to visit the "Heart Attack Grill" and order the quad. Glad to see you are pumping, er meant jumping as normal.

This Kingsley Amis has obviously spent some time on Slog.
That quote is bullshit. How would you all like it if I started following Amis' bullshit credo? I almost think I should post an annoying comment or two just to see how you like it.
Yes, I believe the end of the quote should really be "...there's little point in writing a Slog post."
Elenchos, your posts often annoy me--and I like it.
Kingsley Amis is one of my heroes. Take that as you will.

"Chillin In Jordan" Madaba by flynboxes
Madaba Travel Guide: 169 reviews and 633 photos
Amman is a nice place to see but Madaba is more relaxed. It is a small Christian village south of the airport and where I chose to start my travels which would take me further south to Petra and then over to Egypt via Nuweiba. It's a great place to start your adventures and is very walkable. You can see most of the city in a day.

I am trying to resolve conflicts with Easing slider and MO gallery on my site at:
I have been advised to 'move the line of code that calls the JQuery script up higher' - but I do not know where this line of code is! is it in one of the .php files in the plugin folder, or in one of my core template files? I understand how you call JQuery in a static HTML file using <script src="http://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/1.4.2/jquery.min.js" type="text/javascript"></script> - or a link to the file in your website folder; so am i looking for this in the Easing Slider Plugin's files, and should move it to he first thing in that file?
Any help much appreciated!!
