MUS 78200. Studies in World Music Analysis.
Professor Peter Manuel
This seminar will examine a variety of world musics (i.e., primarily non-Western) with an emphasis on their formal features, emphasizing sound structure rather than socio-musical dimensions. The course will fulfill a number of objectives. It will help students—and perhaps especially ethnomusicology students preparing for the second exam—to develop analytical skills, including transcription and notation of a wide variety of types of music. It will help prepare students to teach world music survey classes, such as are often in demand at colleges. It will, in its way, cover a breadth of world music genres, some of which—such as Indonesian gamelan music—are not addressed in our current ethnomusicology offerings. It may interest several DMA and musicology students who seek familiarity with world music styles as sound systems rather than as subjects of social theory. The course would also familiarize students with software programs used for analysis. The areas and genres covered would consist primarily of those not covered in other ethnomusicology offerings, and would include, for instance, traditional musics of Ireland, Scotland, Japan, Hawai'i, Portugal, Indonesia, and assorted African regions, perhaps with some excursions into jazz and diverse pop styles. For students at dramatically different levels of analytical skills, parts of certain seminar meetings might be devoted to special *remedial* sessions.
MUS 83900. Research Seminar in Ethnomusicology: Cross-cultural Studies of Music Theory
Professor Stephen Blum
The seminar considers some of the ways ethnomusicologists are engaged in research on music theory, broadly defined (on the assumption that theorizing is inevitably implicated in music-making). The specific topics treated will depend in part on the interests of the seminar participants and may deal with music theory of any time and place. It is a "writing intensive" seminar, with exercises in analyzing and summarizing theoretical treatises as well as accounts of orally-transmitted theories, rather than a term paper. Students should have a reading knowledge of at least one language other than English. Open only to doctoral students (in any program); not open to auditors.
MUS 74500. Introduction to Schenkerian Analysis
Professor Eric Wen
This course will aim to develop an understanding of large-scale musical coherence through a study of the voice-leading and tonal organization of selected compositions. Through the analytic techniques learned in this course, students will gain a deeper understanding of how the principles of harmony and counterpoint operate in tandem, and determine the criteria for structural coherence in music of the common-practice period. In the process of doing so, students will be introduced to the analytic system of graphic notation developed by Heinrich Schenker. Beginning with short extracts and themes, by the end of the semester, complete works will analyzed. There is no textbook for the course, but all the musical works studied will be made available as photocopies.
MUS 82500. History of Music Theory I
Professor Chadwick Jenkins
This course explores the history of music theory from Antiquity to the end of the Renaissance (roughly Pythagoras to Artusi). We will read both primary and secondary sources in an attempt to understand the ways in which the history of theory participates in the history and development of ideas. In our effort, we will be concerned with the following issues: the ontology of music (including questions concerning the definition of its elements and its manner of being); the epistemology of music; sense psychology with respect to music; notions of consonance and dissonance; tuning systems and scale formations (including the genera, divisions of the whole tone, transposition, etc.); theories of mode; theories concerning rhythm and the rhythmic modes; and counterpoint theory. There will be an emphasis placed on the interactions between music theory and philosophy in the broader sense. The class is open to doctoral students only.
MUS 88500. Composers' Seminar
Professor Douglas Geers
This seminar will introduce students to a wide range of methods for using algorithms, implemented on computers, as tools for the organization and creation of thematic materials for music composition. Topics will include introductions to algorithmic techniques themselves, realization of them in software, study of successful works that have employed these techniques, and creation of a series of compositional studies by students.
Most of the instruction will focus on using the software PWGL and OpenMusic, although students will be allowed to complete some assignments with other platforms by permission (Max/MSP, Pd, Supercollider, Csound, etc.)
Students will complete a final project as approved by the instructor, which would likely be a composition that uses techniques studied, a research/analysis paper on music created using one or more of the techniques, or an analytical paper that uses some of these techniques to analyze music not known to have been written with them in mind.
MUS 86600/ASCP XXXX Seminar in Music History: The 1920s: Music and Culture in New York
Professor Jeffrey Taylor
Fridays 10am-1pm Room 3491 3 credits
In 1920s New York, music and musicians served as both causes and effects in social history. Seen in the larger context of the aftermath of World War 1, the technology boom (especially in recording, radio, and film), Prohibition, the emergence of organized crime, the Harlem Renaissance, the early history of jazz, and many literary and artistic movements (including Modernism), music becomes a lens through which to examine radical shifts in America's views on gender, race, class, and a host of other issues. Emphasis will be on discussion of primary and secondary written texts, films and artworks, and listening, rather than score analysis—though students are welcome to pursue analytical work in their final projects. The course will explore work by and reception of musicians and composers as diverse as George Gershwin, Aaron Copland, Bessie Smith, Henry Cowell, Duke Ellington, James P. Johnson, Dane Rudhyar, Ruth Crawford, George Antheil and Edgard Varèse. Assignments will consist of weekly written responses to reading and listening, discussion-leading, a midterm writing assignment, and a final project that will incorporate a class presentation and final paper.
MUS 84600: Musical Modernism
Professor Joseph Straus
This course will study the historical, social, cultural, and musical forces that shaped modernist music in the period before and after the First World War. The readings will be drawn from a variety of sources inside and outside of music, and the works we focus on will include Schoenberg, Pierrot Lunaire and Variations for Orchestra; Stravinsky, The Rite of Spring and Oedipus Rex; Bartok, Bluebeard's Castle and String Quartet No. 3; Berg, Wozzeck; Varese, Hyperprism; Crawford-Seeger, String Quartet; and Ives, String Quartet No. 2 and Symphony No. 4.
MUS 86800: Seminar in Music History - Interdisciplinary Approaches to the Late Medieval Lyric
Professor Anne Stone
The rise of vernacular poetry in Romance languages that took place between the twelfth and fourteenth centuries has been the subject of a wealth of interdisciplinary scholarship in the past couple of decades by historians of art, music and literature. Inspired by new cross-disciplinary areas of inquiry—gender studies, New Philology, sound studies, among others—scholars have transformed the way we think about the late medieval lyric, its social context, its compositional process, its transmission and reception. This seminar will survey recent writings across these disciplines that treat lyrics with and without music produced in late medieval Occitania, France and Italy from roughly the 12th-15th centuries: troubadour song; the French motet; the formes fixes lyrics of Guillaume de Machaut; the Italian lyric compilations of the fourteenth century. Students will engage in close readings of individual lyrics in a variety of Romance languages (translations will be available, though familiarity with at least one modern Romance language or with Latin will be helpful), and also in close readings of manuscripts from the level of the page to the level of the codex. We will take advantage of the new availability of medieval lyric collections online, through sites like the Bibliothèque Nationale de France's Gallica site, the British Library, and the consortial Digital Scriptorium, as well as color print facsimiles such as that of the Cantigas de Santa Maria and the late trecento Squarcialupi codex. We will also visit the Morgan Library to examine their illuminated troubadour manuscript, M.819.
Requirements: weekly readings and short writing assignments; one 5-page paper due mid-semester and one final project, read in class as a 20-minute conference-style paper, and then submitted as a 10-15 page research paper. All primary and secondary readings will be available in English translation. Students may choose to research lyrics in languages other than those treated in the seminar.
Note: this two-hour, three-credit seminar will be extended by one hour and one credit (required of music students and optional for others) to deal specifically with the musical notation of late medieval lyrics: learning how to read it, and considering how its presence participated in making meaning in the context of the song as a whole.

MUS 81504 Performance Practice of the 20th and 21st Centuries
Professor Tania León
Designed for both composers and performers, the course explores the aesthetic, historic and technical trends of 20th- and 21st-century music through presentation, discussion, composition and performance. Weekly meetings will be devoted to the coaching and critique of both student composition assignments and representative works. The class will culminate with a mandatory public concert, at the end of the semester, in Elebash Hall featuring important repertoire works and music composed by the students.
MUS 88300 Music of India
Professor Peter Manuel
This seminar explores diverse musics of India, engaging with music both in its formal aspects and as a socio-musical phenomenon. Exploration of North and South Indian classical and light-classical music will cover treatment of râg and tâl and other analytical aspects, and selected historical themes, including factors conditioning râg evolution, ancient and classical treatises, the transition from feudal to bourgeois patronage, Hindu-Muslim dynamics, and changing roles of women and hereditary performing castes. Students will learn to listen to clasisical musics in an infiormed way, encompassing recognition of several basic râg and tâls. Selected folk traditions and genres will then be covered, followed by the development of modern commercial popular musics, and musics of the Panjabi and Bhojpuri diasporas (especially in the Caribbean). Grades will be based on a short analysis assignment, a class report on a reading, class notes, and a take-home set of essay assignments. While many readings will be on ereserve, we will also be reading much of Neuman's The Life of Music in North India, Bakhle's Two Men and Music, and Manuel's Cassette Culture.
MUS 86500 Research Seminar in Music History: Performance Studies
Professor Emily Wilbourne
As a field of scholarship, Performance Studies is notoriously difficult to define. Described as an inter-discipline and a post-discipline, critiqued as an anti-discipline, Performance Studies has interpreted its mandate in the widest possible sense. Covering both literal and figurative performances, acting and actions, Performance Studies has aggregated a focus on situated bodies, politically articulate methodologies, and a space for interpretive play. For music students, Performance Studies promises a corrective to disciplinary habits of disembodiment and the analytic abstractions of "the music itself." This class will serve as an introduction to foundational texts and concepts of Performance Studies, including speech-act theory (performativity) and multifaceted approaches to identity and embodiment (such as queer intersectionality and critical race theory). We will also consider Performance Studies as a means to think and write about music, about sound, and about the past. Students will develop a research paper focused on performance, in accordance with their academic interests.
MUS 85400 Intermediate Schenker Analysis
Professor William Rothstein
A continuation of Introduction to Schenkerian Analysis ("Schenker 1"), focusing primarily on music by Haydn, Mozart, and Beethoven. Weekly assignments in graphing will be supplemented by readings and a final presentation.
Music 85400 Seminar in Theory/Analysis: The Beatles
Professor Mark Spicer
This seminar will offer an in-depth study of the music of the Beatles. Using Walter Everett's The Beatles as Musicians as our central reference, we will trace the group's stylistic development, song-by-song and album-by-album, from their earliest days as the Quarry Men through their swan song Abbey Road. Our primary focus will be on analyzing the substance of the recordings themselves—that is, we will explore issues of form, harmony and voice leading, rhythm and groove, performance practice, text-music relations, recording technology, and so on—and yet we will also take time to consider the profound influence that the Beatles have had, and continue to have, in shaping not only the landscape of pop and rock music, but our postmodern world itself. (Enrollment limited to doctoral students in music, or by permission of the instructor.)
MUS 71500 DMA Topics
Professor Janette Tilley
In this second semester of DMA topics, we will explore and cultivate those skills and habits of mind that will help you succeed, and even enjoy, the dissertation research and writing process. Topics will be determined by the needs of the class, but will include: a re-examination the important tools for research in music and how to make effective use of them; strategies for developing and narrowing research questions; evaluating kinds of musical and historical evidence; writing persuasively about music.
Music 83100 Readings in Musical Ethnography
Professor Jane Sugarman
In this seminar we will read a selection of recent monographs in ethnomusicology in alternation with readings and assignments covering various aspects of ethnographic fieldwork. One course goal will be to take a measure of current topics and approaches in the field and evaluate the state of the ethnomusicological monograph. Another will be to use these monographs to explore aspects of research including research design and theoretical framework, participant observation, approaches to interviewing, archival research, writing strategies, and issues of representation and ethics. In addition to short, practical assignments during certain weeks, the final project will consist of a mock (or real) dissertation or fellowship proposal. There will also be possibilities for a practicum in filming, recording, and editing as a separate module during the semester.
MUS 87000 Medivalism and the Modern Musical Imagination
Professor Anne Stone
The list of composers who have engaged in some way with medieval music reads like a who's who of musical modernism in Europe and the United States: Benjamin, Berio, Birtwistle, Hindemith, Maxwell Davies, Messiaen, Perle, Sariaho, Stravinsky, Webern, and Wuorinen, just to name some of the most obvious.
This seminar will explore the intersections between selected modernist composers and the specter of the Middle Ages. Is the relationship merely one of numerous isolated references, a collection of case studies, or is there a deeper affinity between the project of modernist music and the collective notion of the medieval? What do modernist composers think they are doing when they allude to medieval musical processes or literary themes? Is there a coherent "medievalism" discernible in modern music akin to that of neoclassicism or exoticism?
We will start by considering two recent operas that take troubadours as their subject: Kaija Saariaho's L'amour de loin (2000) and George Benjamin'sWritten on Skin (2012). Later works will be partially dictated by the interests of the students, but will include major works by (at least) Berio, Birtwistle and Davies.
Students will choose a short research topic to present in the first weeks of the course, and a longer presentation and paper (10-15 pages) at the end; the longer paper may be an elaboration of the earlier paper, or on a different topic.
Readings early in the semester will include two recent books from Art History and English respectively: Alexander Nagel, Medieval Modern: Art out of Time (London: Thames and Hudson, 2012); Bruce Holsinger, The Premodern Condition (Chicago: University of Chicago Press, 2005); other reading will include articles and essays by Walter Benjamin, Luciano Berio, Bertold Brecht, Umberto Eco, Paul Hindemith, Daniel Leech-Wilkinson, George Perle, Ezra Pound, George Perle, and Kirsten Yri.
MUS 86200 Mozart's Operas for Vienna
Professor Bruce MacIntyre
After a brief survey of Mozart's early operas and their historical/stylistic contexts, this seminar will focus upon the operas composed during his last decade in Vienna, with special attention to dramatic structure and characterization. Relevant documentation, performance practices, and the ways in which the operas inform our understanding and performance of Mozart's instrumental music will also be considered. In-class reports on assigned readings, score analysis of assigned operas, and individual term-paper topics. Knowledge of Italian and German helpful, but not required.
MUS 84600 Analyzing Atonal Music
Professor Joseph Straus
We will look closely at selected works from the modernist, post-tonal canon (works by Schoenberg, Berg, Webern, Stravinsky, Bartok, Crawford, Dallapiccola), roughly one work per class meeting. We will read in the extensive secondary analytical literature on these works, both to master the analytical methodologies and to evaluate the theoretical controversies. Prerequisite: a course in basic post-tonal theory or the equivalent.
MUS 81502 Performance Practice: Classic-Romantic.
Professor Raymond Erickson
This course, intended for DMA performance majors, is designed to be a practical introduction to historical performance practices in the period ca. 1750-1900. It will provide historical information through lectures, class reports, and book summaries and practical experience in implementing historical performing practices through in-class coachings and consideration of appropriate improvisation techniques. Each student will provide a personal synthesis of the materials and experiences of the class in a term paper.

Federal agency eyes St. Louis' Pruitt-Igoe site for new development
Friday, July 11, 2014
Chris Bentley.
More than 40 years after its last high-rise fell, the site of St. Louis' Pruitt-Igoe public housing development remains basically empty. Design competitions, documentaries, and local developers have all pondered its future. Now the National Geospatial-Intelligence Agency has said it's considering the 34 acres once home to the infamous housing project as a location for 3,000 jobs.
Foster's Unopened Vegas Tower Being Dismantled After Lengthy Court Battle
Friday, May 9, 2014
The Editors.
In Las Vegas, you win some and you lose some. Lining up as what must be one of the biggest busts in Sin City history, the exceptionally-botched, Foster + Partners–designed Harmon Hotel, now has a date with the wrecking ball. The stubby 27-story tower—it was originally supposed to measure 49 stories but construction problems stunted its growth—never opened and no one ever checked in at what would surely have been a posh front desk.
Despite Preservation Push, Rice University's Martel Center Demolished After All
Monday, April 21, 2014
Elisia Guerena.
Never mind! After all that fuss to preserve the iconic Texas tin structure, Rice University's Art Barn met the Grim Reaper on Wednesday, April 16. While a group was able to salvage the building's corrugated metal siding, wrecking crews tore away at the Martel Center's structure, marking a definitive end to efforts of preservationists to move the building to another site in Houston. Andy Warhol's famous oak tree planted in front of the former structure will remain intact, but once the dust clears only a grass lawn will serve as tombstone. A rogue power line temporarily stalled the demolition, thereby buying a commemorative moment for the Art Barn's historical and cultural import. The building's spirit will live on through the Menil Collection it once housed, as well as its legacy with other tin houses.
Art Barn on the Move: Rice University's Martel Center To Be Relocated to Houston's Fourth Ward
Wednesday, April 16, 2014
Elisia Guerena.
Leaving campus the way it came in—amid a swirl of shifting plans and controversy—seems to be the modus operandi for Rice University's Martel Center, more colloquially known as "the Art Barn." After reports last month that the building would be demolished, Rice University changed its mind and announced that it would, instead, relocate the historic structure to the Fourth Ward area of Houston, just west of downtown.
The Art Barn has graced Rice University's campus since 1969. Originally conceived by John and Dominique de Menil as what was meant to be a quick-fix housing solution for their prestigious private art collection, the squatter became father to a generation of its kind, and established itself as a cultural mainstay not just within the university, but the community as a whole.
Tod Williams and Billie Tsien Respond to DS+R Plan to Tear Down Folk Art Building at MoMA
Wednesday, January 8, 2014
William Menking.
Diller, Scofidio + Renfro announced today that their reorganization of the Museum of Modern Art will include the replacement of Tod Williams and Billie Tsien's former American Folk Art Museum at 45 West 53rd street. Liz Diller said in her briefing that DS+R hoped to save the Folk Art building and repurpose it into a usable exhibit space or a connecting bridge between the new Jean Nouvel tower (which will have three floors of MoMA galleries) and the older parts of MoMA. However, "saving" the structure with its misaligned floors (to MOMA existing galleries) would mean compromising the integrity of the Williams Tsien structure.
One can imagine the logic of DS+R's decision, but Williams and Tsien are, like any architects, sad to see the demise of their 2001 building that Herbert Muschamp said "transcend(s) cultural categories even as it helps define them."

I. M. Pei's Sunning Plaza in Hong Kong to be Demolished by End of 2013
Thursday, October 17, 2013
Elizabeth Fazzare.
In architecturally crowded Hong Kong, plazas are a rare breath of open air. The luxurious Causeway Bay district, whose retail rental rates surpassed New York City's Fifth Avenue in 2012, is home to one of these sparse open spaces, Sunning Plaza. I.M. Pei's 27-story edifice faces a large public courtyard, a hardscape relief within the densely built area devoted to commercial shops and restaurants.
But, such a luxury is always in threat of expansion. Artinfo reported that developer Hysan will soon be converting the space into additional commercial stores and offices. Pei's 1982 building is to be demolished by the end of this year and the plaza is going with it.
'New Urbanist' Open-Air Mall to Replace Chicago's Purple Hotel

New plans for Chicago's Purple Hotel site don't have their predecessor's color, in any sense of the word, but many may view the mixed-use "town center" plaza as the antidote to the site's lurid history. The quirky midcentury hotel in suburban Chicago seemed to escape its fate last year when architect Jackie Koo drew up plans to save the vacant hotel and its divisive color scheme.
But demolition on the Purple Hotel in Lincolnwood, IL began late last month. Organizers of the village's end-of-summer festival apparently raised $5,000 for the local library through sales of purple brick.
Turkey Passes Legislation to Protect Istanbul's Historic Skyline Silhouette from Rapid Urbanization
Thursday, July 11, 2013
Nick Miller.
For 1475 years, the colossal dome and four minarets of the Hagia Sofia have remained the focus of Istanbul's historic silhouette. That is, until three hulking towers known as the OnaltiDokuz Residences interrupted the scene last summer, sparking another battle over development in the Turkish capital. In late May, the Hurriyet Daily News reported that the city's 4th Administrative Court ordered the demolition of the skyscrapers, claiming that their construction was illegal because it "negatively affected the world heritage site that the Turkish government was obliged to protect." To guard against future infractions, this Wednesday the Turkish Parliament passed legislation calling for additional safeguards nationwide to protect historic areas from rapid urbanization.
Doomed to Demolition, Northwestern Names Three Firms to Design Prentice Successor
Friday, June 28, 2013
Chris Bentley.
Perkins + Will, Goettsch Partners, and Adrian Smith + Gordon Gill will compete to design a successor to Bertrand Goldberg's celebrated Prentice Women's Hospital, which Northwestern University will soon demolish.
Booth Hansen will serve as the local architect of record. Northwestern, whose politically expedited approval from the Landmarks commission angered preservationists, selected the three firms from a larger pool based on their responses to a Request for Qualifications.
The winning firm will be chosen by December, according to their written timeline, but no construction work is planned until March 2017, according to Curbed.
Goettsch also designed Northwestern's lake front Bienen School of Music, which is currently under construction.
Doug Aitken Celebrates the Destruction of New York's Gallery 303
Monday, April 8, 2013
Susan Morris.
What do you do if a building is slated for demolition? If you're the artist Doug Aitken and the building is your gallery, you devise a "time-based destruction installation." Which is precisely what Aitken, who is known for wrapping the facade of the Hirschhorn Museum in with a 360-degree video installation to the tune of "I Only Have Eyes For You," installing a video "land art" installation on the Seattle Art Museum, and the video "Sleepwalkers" projected on the facades of MoMA, "a cinematic art experience that directly integrates with the architectural fabric of the city while simultaneously enhancing and challenging viewers' perceptions of public space" did.

Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Consideration of earthquake induced loading and deformation in building design has become a routine requirement in most countries. Material specific design codes (steel, concrete, masonry, wood, etc.) are being developed in more coordination with the codes that govern the loading requirements. Advanced design concepts and lateral load resisting systems are being adopted by design professionals more widely. Performance-based design approach is also being applied to design of some buildings, although it is not part of the code yet. As most existing buildings have not been constructed based on the more stringent requirements of seismic code provisions, seismic retrofit of existing buildings continues to be in high demand. Finally, considering the need for resiliency of buildings under multiple hazard conditions, the issue of multi-hazard resistant design of buildings has attracted much attention over the past few years.
For this Special Issue of the Buildings Journal, authors are invited to submit papers related to the general theme of the Special Issue for all types of buildings. Among relevant topics, submission of papers discussing analysis, design, evaluation, assessment, rating, and retrofit of buildings for performance under earthquake effects is highly encouraged. In addition, it is of interest to invite contributions that address new code requirements/provisions (material or loading), innovative seismic resisting systems, performance-based seismic design, and multi-hazard resistant building design.

Abstract: This paper presents a non-linear force-based Timoshenko beam element with bending, shear and axial force interaction for seismic analysis of RC structures. The structural tangent stiffness matrix is formulated which relates the increments of load to corresponding increments of displacement. Simplified cyclic uniaxial constitutive relationships are developed for cracked concrete in compression and tension. This model includes the softening effect of the concrete due to lateral tensile strain. To establish the validity of the proposed model, correlation studies with experimental evidence have been conducted.

Abstract: Seismic performance evaluation of civil engineering structures is challenging due to large uncertainties involved in the estimation of both seismic demand and capacity. To reduce uncertainty, a strategy based on advanced numerical modeling and experimental testing technique is proposed in this paper. First of all, structural and free field response data monitored during past earthquake events is used to calibrate both the structural and hazard models. System identification is applied to extract key structural parameters from the monitored data for subsequent updating of the linear model of the structure. The hazard model is calibrated through sensitivity analysis based on borehole data. Realistic ground motion records can then be generated based on the calibrated hazard model. To improve the prediction of nonlinear behavior of structures under large earthquakes, substructure hybrid simulation which combines numerical and experimental substructures is employed by testing the most critical structural components in the laboratory while modeling the rest of the structural components numerically. Seismic performance of a six-story steel building structure is evaluated based on the proposed strategy. The estimated performance matches well with the observed behavior of the building from the Northridge earthquake.
Keywords: Steel moment frame; seismic performance; system identification; model updating; substructure hybrid simulation; hazard analysis

Title: Seismic Behaviour of Unreinforced Masonry Buildings. A comparison between nonlinear static and dynamic analysis methods
Authors: Michele Betti, Luciano Galano, Andrea Vignoli
Affilications: Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering (DICeA), University of Florence, Via di Santa Marta, 3 – I-50139 Firenze, Italy
Abstract: The paper reports a comparison between analysis methods and numerical modelling approaches to estimate the seismic behaviour of unreinforced masonry buildings. The comparison is performed through the discussion of a reference masonry prototype: a two-storey building tested on shaking table at the CNR-ENEA research centre of Casaccia (Roma, Italy). The building was investigated under increasing natural ground motions to analyse its seismic response from initial elastic conditions until moderate to extensive damage. A first numerical model of the prototype was built using the finite element technique. The model was employed to perform nonlinear static analyses (pushover) and nonlinear dynamic analyses. A second model was built based on a simplified macro-element approach and was adopted to perform nonlinear dynamic analyses. The main results of all analyses are critically compared and discussed to deepen the effectiveness of both simplified models and analysis methodologies.
Keywords: Unreinforced masonry buildings; FE modelling; Macro-element models; Static nonlinear analysis; Dynamic nonlinear analysis; Seismic loading; Collapse analysis.

A Trayvon trademark? Sybrina Fulton, mother of Trayvon Martin — the unarmed black teen who was shot and killed last month by neighborhood watchman George Zimmerman — has filed two trademark applications for phrases related to her son's name: "I Am Trayvon" and "Justice for Trayvon." (Fulton can't trademark her son's name alone because personal names can only be trademarked if they have "acquired a different meaning.") Both rallying cries have appeared on the T-shirts and hoodies of protesters demanding Zimmerman's arrest in the wake of the 17-year-old's death. Why is Trayvon's mother doing this? Here, a brief guide:
What's behind the move?
According to Fulton's lawyer, the goal is to prevent anyone else from profiting from or exploiting Martin's name. Trayvon's family wants to protect the intellectual property rights for "projects that will assist other families who experience similar tragedies." She is specifically petitioning for use of the terms on "digital materials, namely CDs and DVDs featuring Trayvon," but the trademark would extend to other products as well. When asked whether Fulton has any plans to profit from the trademarks, her attorney replied, "None."
So it's a defensive move?
Yes, says patent attorney Victor Baranowski. Trademarking the phrases prevents others from doing the same thing — and "capitalizing on [Trayvon's death] in a negative way."
Has his name already been misused?
Absolutely. The name "has been co-opted by all manner of opportunists, says Abe Sauer at Brand Channel. T-shirts, buttons, and hoodies are being peddled on eBay and Cafe Press. The websites TrayvonMartin.com and JusticeForTrayvon.com have been registered by people unconnected to Martin's family, while IamTrayvon.com leads to a NSFW website for strip club reviews. In one sickening incident, a North Carolina nightclub handed out party flyers that read, "Everyone free B4 11 with an empty bag of Skittles," a reference to the candy Martin bought before his death. The club owners claim they planned to use any party proceeds to fund a scholarship in Martin's name, says Briana Lopes at The Grio, but the soiree was canceled.
Still, is Fulton being a little opportunistic?
That's what some cynics think. One commenter on The Smoking Gun imagined a scenario in which a crowd of hundreds at a rally chant, "Justice for Trayvon!" and Martin's mom replies, "Thank you, all! Now that will be $9.95 from each of you using his name." "I can't get the 'cha-ching' sound of a cash register out of my head," says Weasel Zippers. Such comments reflect ignorance about how trademarks actually work, says Sauer. With all of the attention the case has received, these applications are very likely "just another bit of advice from legal counsel."

Where would you be most likely to use Internet wi-fi?
It looks like Etisalat's plan to provide wi-fi access in a park in Dubai may not work out – most people aren't interested.
May 24, 2010 10:36 by Sam Potter
Earlier this month, UAE telecoms operator Etisalat announced that a wi-fi network would be available in Dubai's Zabeel Park.
Gulf News reported that Etisalat had signed an agreement with Dubai Municipality to provide a "wireless data communication service at Zabeel Park in dedicated hotspots." The paper said the move would mean visitors to the park would now be able to enjoy uninterrupted connectivity with wi-fi enabled devices, including Smartphones, Netbooks, Notebooks and portable gaming consoles. The service will start at AED 5 for the first half an hour.
But Kipp was confused, surely no one wants to go to the park to look at a tiny screen all day? So we asked readers to vote: where are you most likely to use wi-fi? The results are in, and it looks like Kipp was right.
Under 18 percent of respondents said they would use wi-fi in the park; hardly a ringing endorsement for Etisalat (and Zabeel Park)'s new gimmick. Presumably this number would drop away to zero in the brutal high summer of the UAE – Kipp doubts the machines would survive the heat, let alone the users.
Meanwhile the majority of respondents, almost 73 percent, said wi-fi networks were most useful to them at coffee shops – good news for the likes of Starbucks, who provide wi-fi as standard.
Less than 7 percent said they would use wi-fi on public transport. Kipp thinks this could be a reflection of the fact that UAE residents (who form the majority of Kipp readers) are unlikely to use public transport at all, let alone use wi-fi on it. Or maybe it's just that they enjoy a bit of peace and quiet on the way to and from the office.
Finally, less than 3 percent – the smallest proportion of respondents – said they would use wi-fi at the beach. No wonder, really – the sand gets everywhere.

It's experimenting to see how craft beer will do with the mainstream customer by adding a Latin-themed Chicago craft brewery's beers to its menu, reports Josh Noel at the Chicago Tribune.
A total of 15 Chipotles in the Chicago area are going to sell a pair of 5 Rabbit brewery beers — a golden ale and a dark ale.
And if it works, Chipotle may expand it to 75 stores in the area.
It's a hat tip to the rise of craft beer. Upscale chains are increasingly looking to boost their image by adding craft beers, and Chipotle won't be left behind.

"A history of America told through the lens of our most innovative businessmen, AMERICAN ENTREPRENEUR, is an informative collection of biographies." -- San Francisco Book Review
"A great book to read." -- "The Entrepreneur" column by syndicated columnist Marc Kramer
"…offers a crash course in the history of U.S. business…you'll leave with a much better understanding of the 400 years of America's capitalist experiment."
-- Forbes.com
Ever since the first colonists landed in "The New World," Americans have forged ahead in their quest to make good on the promises of capitalism and independence. This book vividly illustrates the history of business in the United States from the point of view of the enterprising men and women who made it happen.
Weaving together vivid narrative with economic analysis, American Entrepreneur recounts fascinating successes and failures, including: how Eli Whitney changed the shape of the American business landscape...the impact of the Civil War on the economy and the subsequent dominance of Andrew Carnegie and J. P. Morgan...the rise of the consumer marketplace led by Asa Candler, W. K. Kellogg, Henry Ford, and J.C. Penny...and Warren Buffett's, Michael Milken's, and even Martha Stewart's experience in the "New Economy" of the 1990s and into today.
It is an adventure to start a business, and the greatest risk takers in that adventure are entrepreneurs. This is the epic story of America's entrepreneurs and the economy they created.
It's easy to read along with and easy to grasp, but it is also comprehensive and provides many names.
Anyone who wants to become an entrepreneur should read this book because it reminds everyone that you can come from any background and start an enterprise at any age.
Obviously, this is a VERY PERSONAL REVIEW on my part and you may disregard it if you are not expecting what I did when I was buying this book.

Kind of a buzzkill -- but maybe when they finally do make the switch, they'll keep secondary coach Scott Lakatos's innovative new "stay within five yards of your guy and actually know where the ball is whilst doing so" coverage scheme, which, after five years of Willie Martinez "Widespread Panic Dancer" defenses in Athens probably looked like the black monolith at the beginning of "2001" to Georgia's beleaguered fan base. Also, the "black" team wore white jerseys, which is sad and adorable at the same time, because when is Georgia ever, ever going to break out those black jerseys again?Holly Anderson on G-Day. For what it's worth, I'm pretty sure the Black team wears white jerseys on G-Day because (a) they're nominally the "visiting" team, and (b) wearing black jerseys for a 2:00 kickoff in Georgia in April is an invitation to heat stroke. (By the way, I'm pretty sure that, by failing to reply in a timely manner to Doug Gillett's text message on Saturday, I missed the chance to meet up with Holly, as well, which was too bad. Tailgating with Holly is every bit as much of a hoot as you think it is.) Go 'Dawgs!

|Hairston leaves game with strained muscle

|Thursday, 09 August 2007 16:03
Hairston, hitting leadoff for just the second time this year, hit a single in the sixth inning to left field and tried to stretch it into a double. He grabbed his left side about two steps before second base as he was beginning his slide.
The throw from left fielder Chris Duncan to second baseman Adam Kennedy was in time for the out.
A Padres spokesman said Hairston will be reevaluated in the next 24 hours.
Terrmel Sledge replaced him in left field in the bottom of the sixth.

China's Zheng Jie came back from a 0-5 deficit in the first set to defeat #3 seed Svetlana Kuznetsova of Russia to reach the final of the ASB Classic.
The Russian raced to a big lead before Zheng Jie started to play herself into the match. She told herself, "I don't want to finish like this" and vowed to keep fighting. Soon, she started to find her shots and played more aggressively. The #3 seed took the first set 6-2 but Zheng was playing better and soon took the lead in the second set. She started to win the long rallies and Kuznetsova didn't appear to be moving with the same spring in her step. The Russian blamed a bit of tightness and not fitness for the change but Zheng took advantage and won the second set 6-3. She continued to dictate play in the third and raced to a 5-1 lead. Then, she said she got nervous and Kuznetsova fought back to 5-3 before Zheng Jie closed out the match 2-6 6-3 6-3.
Kuznetsova said she was impressed by Zheng's play. ""My opponent played a great match – the best match I've seen her play." She said she was disappointed, but not in her result. "It's a very good start to the season. I had bigger expectations – not in results but in my game."
Zheng will face Italy's Flavia Pennetta in the final who says she "played a perfect match" against German Angelique Kerber. Pennetta, a finalist in 2010, said she certainly had thoughts in her mind about her loss to Kerber in last year's US Open semifinals and was surprised how quick her win was today. Kerber never got into the match and lost under an hour, 6-1 6-2.

They held their first ever adoption at a local business.The event was called Canines and Cappuccino, and was held at Cactus and Vine Winery on Ayers between 3-6 p.m. Wednesday. The City is partnering with small businesses to try and find homes for strays that are being held at the kennels at Animal Care Services on Holly.Four dogs were taken to the Cactus and Vine Winery and offered a free cup of cappuccino, and the City was offering the first 50 people who stopped by free microchips and 50 free dog licenses with proof of shots."It's actually our first off-site adoption event the City of Corpus Christi Animal Care Services is actually doing, so it's a first time for everything," said Danni Alcantara of Animal Care Services.More Canines and Cappuccino events will be planned.

A report released last week by UC Berkeley students, reveal the staggering human costs of University of California's interest rate swaps and debt-driven profit strategies. Entitled Swapping our Future: How Students and Taxpayers are Funding Risky UC Borrowing and Wall Street Profits, the report shows that UC management has doubled university debt from $6.9 billion to $14.3 billion over the span of four years. Funds from this immense borrowing from Wall Street has been directed to for-profit activities that fall outside of UC's core mission, leaving students to bear the costs—tuition has increased 300% since 2002 while service cuts have been left unmitigated. Only a day after its release, the report has already ruffled some feathers among university officials.
To read the full report, please visit here.

Parastoo Dokouhaki, Journalist, Tehran
On August 6, with the new academic year approaching, the government-backed Mehr News Agency in Iran posted a bulletin that 36 universities in the country had excluded women from 77 fields of study. The reported restrictions aroused something of an international uproar. Shirin Ebadi, the Iranian human rights lawyer and Nobel laureate exiled in Britain, wrote a letter to Ban Ki-Moon, the UN secretary-general, and Navi Pillay, the UN high commissioner for human rights, condemning the measure as "part of the recent policy of the Islamic Republic, which tries to return women to the private domain inside the home as it cannot tolerate their passionate presence in the public arena." State Department spokeswoman Victoria Nuland read a statement on August 21 calling upon "Iranian authorities to protect women's rights and to uphold Iran's own laws and international obligations, which guarantee non-discrimination in all areas of life, including access to education."
In Iran, higher education officials went on the defensive, denying the existence of gender discrimination and blaming "clerical error" for what they claimed were misrepresentations in the media. The Education Evaluation Organization, which administers the nationwide entrance exam called the Concours, released a statement saying that a mere 0.3 percent of study programs would be affected by the new policy, which would apply to admission of entering classes. Kamran Daneshjoo, the cabinet minister who is the public face of the restrictions, suggested that the story had been blown out of proportion by the Persian-language services of the BBC and Voice of America. "If they are unhappy," he said, "it means we are doing the right thing." [1]
With the fall semester well underway in Iran, it is clear that the spin from both the Islamic Republic and the West was somewhat misleading. The new restrictions affect both men and women, and are part of a long-standing scheme of gender segregation that is not an invention of President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad's hardline conservative government. Such schemes date back to the early years of the Islamic Republic and have been tried by different governments in the service of different goals. In the 1980s, the state sought physically to separate men and women on campus, in keeping with the idea that mingling of the sexes outside the home was "un-Islamic" and dangerous for public morality. Today, the hardliners want to "Islamize" the campus anew, but also to redress the unintended consequences of the feminization of higher education in Iran. The new gender segregation measures are primarily aimed at protecting the life chances of men, in education, marriage and the job market, and at shielding the state from political pressure amidst high unemployment and overall economic malaise.

Highway garage fire destroys Wolfeboro plow truck
Fire Chief Butch Morrill said the damaged plow truck had been out plowing from 3:30 a.m. until noon Tuesday. He said investigators would look at the electrical system in determining a cause. The plow truck, which cost $100,000, was destroyed, but other equipment stored in the garage may be salvageable, he said.
According to Morrill, Wolfeboro Fire-Rescue was alerted to the call at 1:08 p.m. First-arriving companies found heavy smoke and fire from the highway garage, which is used to store vehicles and equipment.
The plow truck and a sidewalk plow were inside the building. The fire was declared under control at 2:06 p.m. and the final crews cleared the scene at 5:40 p.m.
The cause of the fire is under investigation by the Wolfeboro Fire-Rescue Department and the state Fire Marshal's office, but is believed to be accidental.

Opticians birthday party proves to be quite a spectacle
3:00pm Friday 20th June 2014 in News
AN opticians marked its anniversary by inviting one of its first customers to come back to the store.
Doreen Summers was presented with a bouquet of flowers and a free pair of glasses from Specsavers in Chester-le-Street to mark its 10th birthday.
The Front Street store also donated 10p for every £10 spent by customers and raised £206 for St Cuthbert's Hospice, Durham.
Customers also had the opportunity to win a pair of designer specs by guessing the number of recycled glasses in a jar. Unwanted specs from customers are collected and regularly sent to Vision Aid Oversees.
Store manager Ross McLachlan said: "We have been serving the people of the town for a decade now. It's hard to believe we have celebrated our 10th birthday as time really has gone past so quickly.
"We would like to thank all of our customers for their continued support and during our birthday celebrations.
"We are delighted to raise this amount of money for St Cuthbert's Hospice , which was a lovely way to mark our decade in Chester-le-Street".

God's Politics: Why the Right Gets It Wrong and the Left Doesn't Get It (Plus)by Jim Wallis
Synopses & Reviews
Publisher Comments:
God Is Not a Republican ... Or a Democrat
Since when did believing in God and having moral values make you pro-war, pro-rich, and solely pro-Republican? And since when did promoting and pursuing a progressive social agenda with a concern for economic security, health care, and educational opportunity mean you had to put your faith in God aside? Jim Wallis argues that America's separation of church and state does not require banishing moral and religious values from the public square. In fact, the very survival of America's social fabric depends on such values and vision to shape our politics — a dependence the nation's founders recognized. God's Politics inspires us to hold our political leaders and policies accountable by integrating our deepest moral convictions into our nation's public life.
New York Times bestseller God's Politics struck a chord with Americans disenchanted with how the Right had co-opted all talk about integrating religious values into our politics, and with the Left, who were mute on the subject. Jim Wallis argues that America's separation of church and state does not require banishing moral and religious values from the public square. God's Politics offers a vision for how to convert spiritual values into real social change and has started a grassroots movement to hold our political leaders accountable by incorporating our deepest convictions about war, poverty, racism, abortion, capital punishment, and other moral issues into our nation's public life. Who can change the political wind? Only we can.
About the Author
Jim Wallis is the author of the New York Times bestseller God's Politics, which electrified Americans disenchanted with how the Right had co-opted all talk about integrating religious values into our politics by offering an alternative voice. Wallis is a leading figure at the crossroads of religion and politics in America today, the author of eight books, and the founder of Sojourners, a global faith and justice network. He is a public theologian, an internationally renowned speaker and preacher, a faith-based activist, husband, and father to two young boys, and a Little League baseball coach.

Portia Stewart Is Over Kordell Stewart! New Mogul Boyfriend Could Be On RHOA[VIDEO]
By Staff Writer | June 18, 2013 03:10 PM EDT
Portia Stewart is definitely over Kordell Stewert. Portia is currently dating Ralo Wonder, a Publishing Guru, Nascar team owner, reality show producer, TV, Film and Music Mogul after her bitter divorce from Kordell Stewart. Will new boyfriend appear on RHOA?
On the last season of "Real Housewives of Atlants" Portia and Kordell got in fights over his controlling ways, and Kordell's ultimatum to Portia: babies or career.
Like Us on Facebook
The couple's relationship has gotten so bitter that Portia found out about Kordell wanting a divorce on Twitter!
Portia also claims that the doors to her mansion were changed by Kordell Stewart without her knowing. But Kordell is now claiming that Portia is lying and has posted the filed claims online to prove that she knew about the new locks.
Kordell Stewart claims, "(Porsha) established a routine of leaving (the) pre-marital residence without explanation and without consideration of the detrimental effects such behavior would have on the parties' marriage and (Kordell's) nine year old son."
Porsha once tried to work things out with Kordell in a mediation session, but she claims he blew the whole thing off and called it a "waste of everyone's time."
Porsha wants a judge to force Kordell to either allow her to use the house or pay her enough cash so she can get a "suitable alternative residence."
Portia is confirmed to be returning to the Real Housewives of Atlanta next season. Will her new entrepreneur boyfriend be on the show? Kendra, Nene and all the RHOA ladies are just waiting to see Portia's love life unfold!
