in Cultural Resources Management (CRM)
Program Description
or Requirements:
The Master of Arts in Cultural
Resources Management (CRM) involves the identification,
evaluation and preservation of cultural resources, as mandated
by cultural resources legislation and guided by scientific
standards within the planning process. The primary objective
of the Master's Program in Cultural Resources Management
is to produce professionals who are competent in the methods
and techniques appropriate for filling cultural resources
management and related positions, and who have the theoretical
background necessary for research design and data collection
and analysis.
Persons with an MA in CRM
will be qualified to hold positions within the United States
and its territories. Some individuals will also be qualified
to serve outside of the United
States in an advisory capacity in establishing and managing
cultural resources management programs within environmental
protection and preservation contexts of other nations.
The CRM program offers
its graduates with training and experience in
Each student in the program,
with the assistance and supervision of a primary faculty
advisor, develops a plan of study and thesis project that
reflects her or his special interest in cultural resources
management. In addition, students are encouraged to present
the results of their work and research in professional meetings,
research publications and public documents.
Facilities and Faculty
The department's Anthropological Studies Center houses archaeology and ethnographic laboratories
and a cultural resources management facility. The Studies Center maintains collections of artifacts, archaeological
site records and maps, photographs, manuscripts, tapes and
a specialized research library. The Center also provides
computer services and facilities for specialized processing
techniques, such as obsidian hydration. The Northwest Information
Center manages
historical records, resources, reports and maps; supplies
historical resources information to the private and public
sectors; and compiles and provides a referral list of qualified
historical resources consultants. In addition to archaeologists
and other anthropologists, participating faculty in the
CRM program include historians, biologists, geographers,
soil scientists and geologists.
Requirements for the
M.A. in Cultural Resources Management
The design of the course
of study as a 2 1/2-year program presumes that students
are full time and not working. Experience with the program
so far indicates that working students cannot successfully
carry full graduate loads, and, consequently, it takes three
years or more for working students to complete our program
of study.
Total units in the CRM
degree: 30
** Internships are decided
upon by discussion between the student and his or her advisor.
Students will normally take both on-campus and off-campus
internships. On-campus internships are available at the
Cultural Resources Facility, Interpretive and Outreach Services
Office, the Northwest Information
Center, Archaeological Collections Facility and Ethnography Lab. Off-campus agencies
include the Office of Historical Preservation, the National
Park Service and the Sonoma County Museum.
Student Internships
As part of the CRM graduate program, students are required to complete three internship
units so they may gain experience in a variety of cultural
resource management settings. Below is a small sample of
the off-campus agencies, companies, and groups where students
have worked as interns in the past.

Program Name: Masters Degree in the Professional Applications
of Anthropology
Archaeology students can
also obtain a 2-year master's degree in the Professional
Applications of Anthropology (MAPAA) to prepare specifically
for management positions in cultural resource management
and historic preservation. The Department of Anthropology
offers a 2-year terminal master's degree in the Professional
Applications of Anthropology (MAPAA).
In this Department, the
traditional M.A. degree is most commonly earned as part
of the student's doctoral program. The MAPAA degree provides
students with an alternative career orientation, focusing
on career development in professional specializations such
as Cultural Resource Management or International Development.
The MAPAA degree will prepare
students for careers as practicing professional anthropologists.

University of Memphis, TN
Program Name:
Public Archaeology/Cultural Resource Management Track
The Public Archaeology/Cultural
Resource Management track is designed to produce employable
Master's level anthropological archaeologists. In order
to meet the rigors of this track, one should be fairly mobile,
in good health, and able to perform in both field excavations
and in the lab. Employment is usually found in various areas
of "contract archaeology" mandated by various
Federal laws designed to lessen the impact of destruction
of sites and other cultural resources by Federally sponsored
or licensed projects--dam construction, highway construction,
activities of the Corps of Engineers, etc.
The department currently
maintains links with concerned local, state, and federal
agencies and with archaeological museum programs throughout
the Mid-South. The Archaeology Program also implements its
research participation through the C. H. Nash Museum and
research participation and publication program through the
Research Center.
Core Courses:
The Archaeology M.A. Program
requires 36 hours of completed coursework. Archaeology
students, along with students in the other two tracks, must
take the following three courses
to form the basis for competence
as anthropologists, regardless of the student's chosen applied
specialization. Application to all three tracks is made
during each course, and students are encouraged to focus
their practical exercises within their own areas of interest
in their chosen applied field. In addition to the common
courses, archeology students must also take these two track
specific courses:
All tracks must complete
a practicum. The practicum is designed to provide practical
experience, perhaps on an archaeological project, allowing
the student to make contacts and, hopefully, convince their
supervisors to hire the student at the first possible opportunity.
Also, Archaeology students must have 6 hours (2 courses)
of combined field and lab work, or the equivalent. Students
can get this field experience during the Archaeology Field School, which is a month-long program that focuses on excavations
at two Mid-South sites: Shiloh National Military Park and the Sigman Mississippian Settlement.

Note: Anthro majors can
use this class for an upper-division elective AND Method/OR
Area requirements. It also counts for College requirements
as upper-division outside the major.
Three hours lecture plus
one required 2-hour lab per week. This course is a cross-disciplinary
exploration of Cultural Heritage on a global and local scale
through discussion, debate, in-class activities and team-based
research projects that involve communication with heritage
centers in different parts of the world. The themes of the
course will include the global and local management of heritage
sites; the creation of heritage sites; the ethnics of archaeologists
as stewards of heritage; listening to multiple voices of
interest groups; preservation and conservation of heritage;
the destruction and looting of heritage; the public presentation
through digital media, museums and education. The course
discusses the research on cultural heritage in public archaeology,
anthropology, historical ecology and preservation, cultural
resource management, landscape studies and many other disciplines.
The class will work as
six teams, led by the instructors and GSIs, to build a mosaic
of six Heritage Futures tied together with a cohesive, data
driven website. These six site areas will be chosen from
around the world for their cultural and archaeological significance,
including a focus on the San Francisco Bay Area to give
us an opportunity to engage with real, local heritage issues.
Students will be guided to enter into dialogue with students
and managers at the heritage sites through instant messaging,
email and other digital media.
This course will be taught
in a way that demands active participation by students.
Traditional lectures will rarely be given during the lecture
meetings. Instead information guides to Internet and library
sources and to the broader aspects of heritage issues will
be provided on-line in advance. The assignments and activities
of this course are focused on inquiry-based learning. That
means that assessment of students will be based on their
research and contributions to a real research database,
rather than traditional tests or exams. The information
guides will act as the first step in their own inquiries.
Students will be guided and coached in their inquiries about
heritage by their instructor-coaches in discussion sections.
Prerequisites: There
are none, except an email account and regular access to
the Internet. Although there is a strong digital and multimedia
component to this course, no previous computer knowledge
is required. Hands-on and online tutorials for all software
will be provided throughout the course.

Heritage Management: Theory and Practice. The
study of heritage management emphasizes the recursive
relationship between local, regional, national and international
cultural patrimonies of the past in a historically and socially
informed multivocalic present. The purpose of this course
is to present the theoretical and practical issues of heritage
management to advanced undergraduate students and graduates
students committed to a career in archaeology, tourism,
cultural landscapes, museums and related fields. The literature
read in the course and the discussions held around the course
topics provide training to these students who will be confronting
cultural heritage and social and environmental impact issues
as public archaeologists, landscape architects, resource
managers, and museum curators, among others. The course
will be run largely as a seminar, focusing on discussion
and debate of the readings (several books, articles compiled
in a reader, websites). Among the topics covered are
the following:
*History and the preservation
of place. How are histories of place constructed and reproduced?
Whose histories? How can place history empower the local
*Theming the past. Invented
tradition. Manufacturing history and inventing place
*Nationalism and the politics
of culture
*Resort ruins and landscapes
*Protecting Monuments.
Conflicts. The concept of world heritage
*Case studies of
Stonehenge, Machu Picchu, Chichen Itza, Colonial Williamsburg
*The reconstruction of
sites. Authenticity. Simulacra. Hyperreality
*Issues of representation,
descendant communities, local communities
*The ethics of collecting
*CRM (Cultural Resource
*International and national
organizations concerned with heritage management
*Antiquities laws and their
*Public education and professional
heritage practice in the public interest
POPULAR CULTURE AND THE PUBLIC (3hrs.) This course explores the manner in which archaeologists
and the public have reconstructed and conversed about the
past -- their own past and that of others. Through
multiple case studies we examine the ways in which the ancient
past has been interpreted, appropriated, represented, used
and manipulated in the present for a variety of reasons
by many different groups in many different societies.
Among the topics covered
are: science vs. pseudo-science; racializing the
past (ancient astronauts; Atlantis; the "myth of
the moundbuilders", Afrocentrism, "Black Athena",
and the Olmecs of Mexico); politics of the past (Nazi
archaeology; contemporary Peruvian politics); contested
places and shared spaces (modern-age cultists at Stonehenge,
tourists at Maya sites, museums and exhibitions, the landscape
of contemporary Australian aborginals); orientalism and
the construction of ancient Egypt (the concept of orientalism,
the discovery of Tutankamon's tomb, the 1932 Mummy film
with Boris Karloff, the 1999 Mummy film with Brendan Fraser);
science or sacrilege? (U.S. archaeologists vs. U.S.
Native American tribes, Chief Illiniwek); the present
and future of the past (the pasts of Other Americans:
Puerto Ricans/Tainos, Chicanos/Aztlan; "Primitivism"
in 20th century art, creating tomorrow's ruins through memorials
and memory, the traffic in antiquities, archaeological ethics,
the past we deserve).

A BlankTV Premiere Presentation:
Dennis Is Dead - "The Atlas"
Band Bio:
Dennis Is Dead from Union City, CA has released their best effort yet with the "Close To Home" EP. With three of the five members playing together since middle school, Dennis Is Dead have been refining their sound for many years. What has emerged is an onslaught of some of the most brutal metallic hardcore out there today paired with an honest, energetic live show. While so many heavy bands are just going through the motions, posing, posturing, and practically choreographing their "moves" on stage, Dennis Is Dead just explodes with energy live, letting the emotion that rages from the music take them close to the breaking point (and sometimes beyond).
These boys have already shared the stage with great bands like CHIMAIRA, IMPENDING DOOM, THE ACACIA STRAIN, TERROR, EMMURE, FOR THE FALLEN DREAMS, OCEANO, ARSONISTS GET ALL THE GIRLS, and MISS MAY I. But what separates Dennis Is Dead from the rest of the pack is their commitment to building community between them and their fans. The relationships with the people that enjoy their music extend beyond the show or the internet, but to face-to-face connections and friendships.

The Clippers went down early when a miscommunication on a free kick for St. Joseph's left a player open in front of the net who put the Saints up 1-0. The Clippers answered though When Franck Zeba found the back of the net a few minutes later. Right after that, Devon Whitbeck scored the first of his two goals on the day. Zeba added three assists on the day as Kris Wignes, Tyler Pelletier, and Ruud Casseus also added goals. Goalkeeper Luis Herrera had five saves on the day as the Clippers moved back into the win column. They face Vermont Technical College tomorrow.

Discovering the unknown
within through a revolution in religious thinking
The purpose of Buddhism is to enable each and every person
to eliminate suffering from their
lives. This is not about dogma but about profound philosophy
and seeking and finding real answers to some of life's most
important questions.
How can we change ourselves from deep within
to become ever wiser, stronger, happier and more compassionate?
How can we change the suffering of others? What can we do
to have the most positive impact on others? How can we,
as a species, become less hurtful and destructive to each
other and to the other species sharing the planet with us?
How do we find common ground between our spiritual selves
and our ever-growing understanding of the natural world?
What is life? What is the meaning of life? These are the
kinds of questions answered by Buddhist philosophy.
As Nichiren Buddhists, we practice a form
of mantra meditation. Mantra meditation is a kind of meditation
that uses a phrase (mantra) to aid our focus. Transcendental
Meditation (TM) is a form of mantra meditation similar to
our own but using mantras associated with Hinduism as opposed
to Buddhist philosophy. The mantra we use is Namu myoho renge kyo.
The form of meditation used in Zen, more akin to Mindfulness
Meditation, involves the stopping or slowing of discursive
thought in order to allow your deeper nature to come to
the forefront, to harmonize your mind with your true self.
(They use the term "void" where we use "true
self.") Mantra meditation follows a similar premise,
but rather than stopping thought, we instead use the mantra
to redirect our thoughts onto our true nature and shut out
incompatible thoughts. Our method is more of a realigning
of attention. Zen meditation attempts to accomplish the
same thing, however, they are more focused on settling the
mind, whereas we're more focused on redirecting the mind.
Mantra meditation is both stopping discursive thought and redirecting
attention at the same time, in other words, using two tools
to accomplish our goal.
The method of mantra meditation is considered
an advancement in Buddhist practice, and, as would be expected,
performs better in many ways when comparative tests are
performed between Mindfulness Meditation and Mantra Meditation.
The positive effects of meditation, including mantra meditation,
have been studied and documented. Even though meditation
in general has been shown to have great positive influence,
what a person meditates on is also of significant importance.
What we say, especially to ourselves, think and believe
has a significant influence on how we feel, who we are,
and what we do. Repeating any positive phrase will have
a positive impact on us, but the more powerfully positive
the phrase, the more we believe what we're saying, the more
mental energy we expend on it, and the more we stand by it,
the more influence it will have over us. Given that what
we think and believe affects our actions, the philosophy
by which people live is also of significant importance.
In this web site, we hope to convince you indisputably of
these facts.
That, however, is only a small part of
our quest here. We hope to drive home the serious importance
of changing the way you think -- your life -- and thereby
the lives of others, with the hope that it will inspire
within you a powerful seeking mind to constantly search
for ever-better, ever-more-effective methods of positively
impacting life.
Meditation. You've heard of it. Maybe you've
done it. It makes you feel more relaxed. So what? Here's
the what. With the best philosophy in hand, and the best
method of meditation at your side, you can literally impact
everything in the universe. You can think of it like taking
your fist and punching a dent in the wall of the universe,
because you can quite literally dent the fabric of the universe
with your own life force. In fact, you're already swinging
at the universe with your life without even realizing it,
so why not find out what you're doing, how to control it,
and how to do it in the most powerful and positive way we
humans have yet discovered?
Maybe you've practiced sitting quietly
thinking about your day, believing that you were practicing
a form of meditation. Or maybe you've even done some mind
control, learned to focus yourself. That's all good, and
it's good for you. But there is more to be learned about
it than that. When you combine the most powerful and meaningful
phrase on which to meditate, Namu myoho renge kyo, with
the deepest philosophy, the practice becomes something altogether
Nichiren Buddhism is a form of Mahayana
Buddhism named after the priest Nichiren, who devoted his
life to the enlightenment and happiness of the entire universe.
His basic story is similar in a couple of respects to the
historical Buddha credited with the original teachings of
Buddhism. Concerned with the suffering of the people all
around him, he dedicated years of his life to seeking a
way to eliminate their suffering. Once discovered, he made
a bold vow to teach this philosophy to others, even under
threat of losing his own life in the process. Due to his
strong determination to eliminate the suffering of others,
Nichiren became a Buddha. After all, that is what a Buddha
is -- a person who carries out a determination to eliminate
suffering from people's lives. Today, the members of NBAA
are following in Nichiren's path; the path of every Buddha.
That is, we're committed to finding and using ways to eliminate
others' sufferings.
Chanting Namu myoho renge kyo is more than
just trying to force a change in the way you think. It is
a method of developing your inner spirit. It is at once
a form of meditation as well as a determination and a cause
(in terms of cause and effect, or karma) to alleviate your
suffering, increase your happiness, and impact the lives
of others in an extremely profound way.
Because religion has such a significant
influence on all of our lives -- the practitioner and those
they interact with as well -- by changing the way people
believe, we can have a significant impact on the happiness
of the world, and also its destiny.

While this may sound like a cheap commercial, I have recently completed work on a motor controller to which I have given my best nights and week-ends for the past many months. See www.roboteq.com
The project grew out of a sincere desire to do something "better" than anything else, particularly if one is interested in creating robots with more brains and AI capabilities.
I am curious to hear what the experts in this forum think of it. Since the unit can be easily reprogrammed (even after is has been shipped in the field) I am also looking for features ideas that I could add to make it even better.
