The European and GFS (12z) computer models are showing the potential for snow on Saturday and Sunday across Connecticut.
The above map is a rough approximate snowfall forecast, based on a blend of the two models. It takes into account precipitation totals, assuming that at least some mixed precipitation moves into southern Connecticut. The latest computer model runs show warmer air working north into areas closer to the coast, resulting in lower snowfall amounts. As low pressure is forecast to develop east of Cape Cod on Sunday, heavier snowfall amounts could be possible in northeastern Connecticut.
Stay tuned to WXedge.com for the latest model discussions and trends.

Perhaps I'm just getting too old, but I can't for the life of me really understand what San Francisco Wine Week is all about.
Here we are living in one of the greatest wine and food cities of the world. We're spoiled rotten when it comes to our wine and food. We expect, and regularly receive great local ingredients in our food, an incredible selection of wines from California and around the world, and completely take for granted the fact that we can bring a bottle of our favorite wine to any restaurant we like.
If there was ever a large city in America that might have a week long celebration of wine, San Francisco would certainly be at the top of the list. And here we are beginning just that sort of celebration, except....
It seems completely, and utterly lame.
As far as I can tell, San Francisco Wine Week is simply six nights of open bars in various venues around the city where you can taste as much wine as you want, no doubt to the soundtrack of thumping electronica.
Come on people. That was the best you could come up with?
Granted, this event is supposedly aimed at the young, urban, hip crowd of Millenials that make up the largest wine drinking population that America has ever seen. But I've got to believe that there's a better way to celebrate what the promoters rightly identified as one of the Bay Area's most defining cultures.
And just to make sure I've exercised my complete curmudgeonly rights, let me just say that the web site and all the marketing material I've seen are horribly unhelpful at getting any sense of what these nightly events will be like. For instance, Wednesday night is the "Sommelier Party" hosted by sommelier Mark Bright.
OK. So what does that mean? If you wanted to find out, say, the difference between that night and Tuesday night, which is the "Import Party" you would be shit out of luck, as they say. Nothing on the web site provides any indication of what is actually going on that night, or any other night, for that matter, other than "wine tastings." Hell, it's not even clear whether there will even be food at these things, except for "San Francisco restauratuers" being mentioned somewhere as some of the sponsors.
And if you want to know what's going to be happening at the ultimate end of week party, the Red Gala, you'll find yourself similarly screwed, except, of course for the dress code, which is supremely, unhelpfully described as "red attire encouraged but not required." So would that be red t-shirts or red ball gowns?
It's quite a shame that a city so steeped in wine and so populated with smart, talented hospitality folks couldn't come up with something better for the first Wine Week than this. As far as I can tell, we've got nothing educational, nothing uniquely Californian, and nothing really fun, except, perhaps if you're a young guy who knows a thing or two about wine and wants to go meet chicks that will be impressed with your knowledge. Sounds more like "party with alcoholics" than it does "celebrate wine culture."
Of course, that may just be the target audience for this whole debacle. The saving grace of which may be that the entire week's events cost a mere $75 bucks. Which means, no matter how bad the event ends up being, a motivated barfly will at least be able to drink their money's worth if they go every night. With only 44 wineries participating, you might also be able to get through every single one over the course of the week. In fairness, it must be noted that some of the wineries pouring at the event are quite good.
I'll leave it to the most adventurous of you readers to go check it out and look forward to happily being proved wrong. But I don't expect to be. San Francisco, you can do better than this.
I found you when keywording 'wine week sf,' to also find out more about the 'festival.' I haven't even BEGUN to dig into your rich archive.
I think I understand where you're coming from, in terms of wanting SF to declare itself more emphatically as a progressive, creative city when it comes to its culture and celebration. And also, when you refer to 'celebration' vs 'excuse to get drunk.' The latter happens too much for me to get into sometimes. Despite probably being a Millenial as you describe, i'm not huge on getting trashed unless I know everyone.. heh. I do like Amelie though.
Definitely a rambling & rant. :]
Though, to the credit of the organizers, whom I don't know and haven't researched, they may have spent most of their time just even culling the partnerships to host the events. The marketing possibly wasn't their strength, even if it was more important than they made it (ie. basic web info). It is the first year, and possibly the first venture for these organizers.
So the only question in my mind is:
Would you be interested in contributing to a proper wine celebration/event, that accurately portrays, distills, captures the wine life and culture we have here in Cali? Constructive criticism is everything, and you sound like you know better.
Let me know though. Even if to add your commentary/opinion.
"Millenials". Totally going to use that term. ;)
Interesting post, I must say. Sac just had a beer walk of sorts that kinda has the same sort of feel.
I agree, this event is strangely organized (one fee for multiple nights?) and poorly explained. Very odd.
Alder, I'm a Millenial and it doesn't make much sense. If I were still in California, I would normally love to commit the $75 for the week's worth of event--it seems like it would be good value for all the tasting available. However, at that price it is alarming not to have more facts about each venue location or evening plans.
I agree entirely, Alder. It looks more like a promotion for the venues than for the wine. I do hope the wineries involved feel like they get a good return on their investment. However, it seems more likely that they'll get a lot of seriously inebriated clubbers who won't remember how they got that way.
That said, if it does encourage some people to drink more wine and less vodka with Red Bull, the wine industry and the drinkers' health will both benefit.
I read your post with great sorrow, Alder. We're gearing up for our own Wine and Food Festival here in San Diego, and after reading this I pray we don't follow suit. It may be too late, there's a "Wine Rave" at The W Hotel on Wednesday - complete with grungy marketing, techno music, and a hooka lounge. Pray for wine and for us, Vinography readers - let's hope we're not heading for the same fate! I'll be posting reviews from my coverage of the entire week on my website. May Bacchus smile upon us...
Alder--thanks for posting this. I thought SF Wine Week sounded promising, but after visiting the website I was as confused as you about the what and the why. Just a few details about each event would have made all the difference.
One of the organizers contacted us about providing a retail mechanism, but I guess they ran out of time to get it in place or perhaps decided it would be too complicated. Worst case, the wineries get their brands exposed to the market and hopefully can point revelers to places where they can buy the wines.
What I'd really like to see is an event that doesn't necessarily devolve into a drunk fest like so many of them do. The basic format for consumer wine tastings, i.e. wineries on one side of the table and tasters on the other side, is outdated and not terribly engaging. Not to mention there is generally no call to action piece.
How to make it better...that's the million dollar question.
Every single day in SF can be San Francisco Wine Week. We have wine bars all over the place. The only way an event like this is useful is with easily understood wine-based themes: i.e., Cabernet Franc night. Santa Barbara County night. Whatever. "Red Gala?" Just go to the Red Room and order an Aperol.
I have to say, sadly, that I found the same rotten challenges trying to decipher the web site, what was going on each night and was so disappointed in the marketing, organization, enthusiasm, creativity, follow thru, etc. on this event. Not much there - there. If it had not been for the awful web site, I might have gone to some of these events. I'm in the industry (New Media Marketing for Hahn Estates, I live & work in Napa) and see so much more promise with Wine 2.0 events, or Twitter Taste Live, and so many others. I wonder if the sponsors think they are getting their $ worth!
I went to a Sherry tasting at a calalan bar the other day but i had no idea that it was part of wine week-I was just happy to know about it and be a part of it!
So I have been to 2 of the events so far this week. As at most consumer events, there's the fair share of people that are there just to get drunk and act out of control. Last night I almost felt bad for the people that work at the Mercedes Benz dealer where the event was being held because people were sitting at their desks. Hopefully no one's pictures of their kids were stolen.
Anyways, there were some interesting wines being poured and I hope the wineries that were involved see some bump in sales because of the time and money invested. It's tough for them to know what a direct impact these sorts of events have because they can't sell their wines at the event.
There is something to be said for more casual consumer events such as these. I may be totally wrong, but I think SF Wine Week may be attracting a slightly different crowd than some of the Fort Mason events attract. I did see a slightly younger crowd than what you typically see at the more "major" events. Maybe I'm wrong, but I give the SF Wine Week team points for trying.
In my personal opinion it was a huge success. The turnout alone shows that the creative minds behind SF Wine Week put an incredible amount of time and energy into this event, and it showed. There wasn't an evening which had less than 200+ people at it.
Over the course of 6 nights, guests can taste a multitude of wines from around the world in a new venue each night. Tickets were only $75 for a pass to the entire week, which is a steal if you plan on going out for more than one night.
As the artist for the Friday night event, I had access to all the events but didn't actually plan on going to that many of them. However, I found myself at 4 of the 6 nights because they were simply so much fun. The wineries represented were top notch, the crowd was great - and the venues were impressive. Plus everything is done by 9 or 10 so it's not a rough schedule for those of us who have to work the next day.
The demographic covered young and old, hip and stylish, but what I noticed the most was how well behaved, friendly and interesting everyone was. As a wine tasting event, it was fresh and fun, not stuffy and boring. Another nice thing about having a week long event is that you actually have some time to get to know some really great new people and make a few friends along the way.
As a side note: The music wasn't "thumping electronica". It was appropriate, and the only night which was a little more loud and perhaps "rowdy" was the final "Red Gala Event", which was the point. And the venues weren't even at Bars, except for one. So it wasn't a promotion for the venues, considering they were beautiful lobby spaces of downtown buildings, industrial retail spaces and the likes.
The fact that you think this sort of event is, as you say, utterly lame, before you even attend one of the events is a testament that perhaps you are getting too old!
I went to 4 of the events and while I enjoyed tasting wine and chatting with my friend and some new people, I think it was poorly executed for many of the aforementioned reasons. Some of the wineries and distributors were pouring wonderful things, but there was only food on two nights (except for a basket of rolls).
The "Red Gala" was just like all of the other nights except that the volume was turned up after 11... nothing was particularly special about it and I would have felt gypped if I'd paid the one-night price. On Sommelier night we only met one sommelier and he was there on his own, not as an official part of the event.
Would I try it again next year? Maybe, but only if I know I'll be able to make it on several nights to get my money's worth.
wonderful festival!
as a transplanted manhattanite, i'm often amused by the deep and evolved provincial mind-set that can take hold in SF/bay area...especially, under the pretense of sophistication
let me tell all (especially those who did not attend, but somehow have something to say)...
SF Wine Week was a fantastic event! i KNOW. i was there for all six evenings.
visionary in who they were targeting. many of the comments i've read sound so pathetically dated. SFWW gets major points for its modern view of an urban wine festival. qudos to SFWW'S egalitarian price-point of $75 for the week...i was impressed by the attendance every night.
many of the comments i've read fall in line as to why most wine festivals are culturally FRUMPY...period! this event was not.
alder, where do you get off criticizing something that you did not have the decency (maybe energy)to attend? trust me, if you were there, you'd still not understand it. your comments are typical of a simplistic and monolithic view of ALL THINGS WINE (or is it WHINE?).
and as for your disciples of a non-expansive view of wine (events/festivals),i
simply yawn!
Maybe in your rush to declare me an out of touch, monolithic, whining, wine snob you overlooked the fact that my post was written BEFORE the event. It represented not a criticism of the event, but of what the event appeared to be based on the only public information (marketing) that was available.
The people who comment on this blog are not disciples, they are readers. And their opinions are their own, as your own snide comments so clearly prove.
Since the ballot box, a.k.a. comments section, can be stuffed by "friends of the promoter" it would be good to have a post hoc assessment by the wineries which had to cough up a fee ($250 I think) plus pour free wine and take the time to attend and prep. It very well could be that going into such venues and offering samples to those who don't attend the typical wine events proved worthwhile.
Does anyone know if SF Wine Week is going on this year? Last year was amazing. The venues were unique and the wines were even better! I sure hope someone is working on organizing another wine week for 2009!

I know I just posted last night, and I know I am supposed to be on this epic Tour de Grapefruit League, but Bill Simmons, ESPN.com's "The Sports Guy", just strolled into one of my areas of interest: Florida State Basketball. Greetings, Bill.
In today's Basketball Blog, Simmons writes:
I've only seen bits and pieces of Al Thornton, and I know he's 23 years old, and I know the game went into OT, and I know Miami sucks ... but 45 points in a college basketball game? I'm officially intrigued. Al, I have the TiVo set for your next game.
Shamefully, I wasn't going to post about the FSU-Miami game over the weekend because I didn't see it. I am a poor excuse for a fan, I know, but I was out of town at the Dodgers-Nationals game and couldn't catch a telecast. Needless to say, however, Al Thornton went off again, scoring 45 points, grabbing eight rebounds, and blocking four shots. Thorton's 45 points were one off of the FSU record and put him over 20 points per game on the season. And he apparently got Bill Simmons to stop drooling over Kevin Durant for a moment and watch some FSU basketball. Which in itself is an accomplishment.
So what can Bill Simmons expect? Well, first of all, Thornton is one of the most complete players to come from FSU in recent years. He will be playing in the NBA next year as most mock draft sites have him going anywhere from 10th to somewhere in the mid-20s. Thornton comparisons range from Phoenix Suns star Shawn Marion to current NBA role players James Posey and Hakim Warrick. So Bill, you are obviously watching an NBA talent, and it is never too late to buy an Al's Pals t-shirt.
Although no one can accurately predict any draft pick until the actual pick is made, allow me to segue from Bill Simmons' praise to where Al Thornton might go in the 2007 NBA draft. Like I mentioned, most sites have him going anywhere from 10th to the end of the first round. I even saw one site that didn't have him listed. But let's look at two of the more interesting predictions that have Al Thornton going to teams I think he can make a definite impact on.
NBADraft.net has possibly the highest Thornton draft selection, predicting he will go to Minnesota with the 10th pick. I like this prediction, and not just because of the high selection. Although the Timberwolves currently feature recent draft pick Randy Foye and veterans Ricky Davis and Mike James at the guard and small forward positions, respectively, I think Thorton's offensive game would mesh well with the T-Wolves.
Mockdraftcity.com has Thornton going slightly lower to my New York Knicks at the 20th pick. According to ESPN, as of March 4th, the Knicks don't have the 20th pick, they have either the 22nd or the 12th, pending a possible selection swap with the Chicago Bulls. As mentioned, Al Thornton falls in this range. Could Thornton fit with the Knicks? Could I be any happier seeing a player I have watched since his freshman year playing for my favorite NBA team? With Isiah Thomas' penchant for athletic swingmen, I can definitely see them drafting him. He is taller than Jamal Crawford, better offensively than Jared Jeffries, and has been a better 3-point shooter at the college level than Quentin Richardson. Far be it for me to be a homer, but I can see Thorton definitely helping in the Big Apple as well.
Anyway, welcome to the Al Thornton fan club, Bill Simmons. I do hope you TiVo every game FSU plays in the ACC tournament this week. Not only do I like their chances to do something special, but you might even see me. I'll be the guy with the big "Need Ticket" sign outside the forum.
UPDATE: Florida State will definitely have their hands full this ACC Tournament. They have Clemson, who defeated the Noles twice this year, followed by North Carolina in Round 2. Sheesh.

The Dolphins begin a vital part of their season, not only because they are coming off consecutive losses to teams that they should have (Chicago) or could have (Pittsburgh) defeated, but also they have to establish themselves for the playoffs.
Based on the past two weeks, it may seem presumptuous to discuss the playoffs, but the Dolphins will likely qualify. Buffalo is floundering around at 6-6 and the Jets, who the Dolphins face today, well, they're the Jets. New York is forever a .500 team.

This is my first review here.
Virtue ion board-
I have been using this board for 1 1/2 years. As soon as I got it it was messing up, first the solinoid piece fell out. Then after I got the new board, put it in. Really nice, good ROF, easy to use and ajust. Kept me alive in many games against many higer up guns. If you use this board with other virtue products like the virtue eyes it really helps. But now I am just mad, bearly used at all and now one of the battery connections broke. I am just giving up and buying a APE board for it if I can.

Construction is nearing an end on the Soweto Theatre, which will form the linchpin of the planned Cultural Heart in Jabulani.
The first of its kind in Soweto – a multipurpose performing centreAFTER two years of hard work and dedication, construction of the eagerly awaited Soweto Theatre is nearing an end.
Already most of the theatre is complete and ready for the official launch next year. When it finally opens, it will be the first of its kind in Soweto – a multipurpose performing centre used for theatre, music and dance productions, and choirs.
Talking about the official opening, the City's director of arts culture and heritage, Steven Sack, says: "I promise you, we will have lots of drums, dance and theatre. We hope this is going to be the most successful theatre in the country and the world."
Plans are to launch the theatre, on Bolani Road in Jabulani, on Africa Day, 25 May, in 2012. "However, we will have a lot of build-up programmes. We are planning to bring Dance Umbrella [to the theatre] in February and various acts."
Sack explains that the main objective of the theatre is to produce performing arts in a wide variety of genres that will stimulate discussion on a variety of challenging issues, so actively contributing to the vision of transforming Johannesburg into a world-class African city.
EntertainmentOnce it is open, it will create new opportunities for theatre groups and individuals in Soweto. Residents will also get quality entertainment on a regular basis, and there will be access to education and training in theatre and performing arts.Interesting textures through the bright, interesting design
The new structure will consist of a 420-seater main venue with an end stage, with wings, orchestra pit, fly tower and buttress. There will also be two smaller venues of 180 and 90 seats each, multilevel change rooms, storage rooms and a greenroom; and a covered outdoor space, which will serve as an informal performing area.
Architecturally, the building does not look like a traditional theatre complex. The design, say the architects, arises out of solidifying the existing pathways of people through the site when travelling between home and work.
It is a busy thoroughfare, with people crossing the site mainly from the east where the Jabulani Mall is, diagonally across to the train station.
In response, the building has two fortress walls that contain the three different theatres and all other ancillary spaces. It faces on to the existing amphitheatre and a tent covering the area between the entrances to both will form the main exterior foyer, or patlelo.
Outside foyerIn this outside space, informal performances during festivals can be hosted; it will also be a place for audiences to socialise during intervals, as well as offer show teasers.
At the opposite end, facing Nthati and Bolani streets, a colourful conjunction of volumes will appear like sculpture on the busy main road intersection.
The architects explain that the theatre is not a solid secret box but will expose all its contents: so from everywhere people will be able to see each of the theatre boxes, the main fly tower, the actors' change rooms and the stores.
Clara Cruz Almeida of Afritects Architects says there was a need for a building that the community would take ownership of and feel invited to use and enjoy. This prompted the bright, unusual design.
"Each theatre box is clearly identifiable through its primary colours of yellow, blue and red, rendered through ceramic tiles. The quasi-moiré pattern effect is achieved through using two different tones in both matt and gloss; the resulting basket weave pattern glistens with the sun rays and glimmers at night as car lights reflect off it.Creating a legacy project
"This beguiling effect is intended to parallel an African dancer with its glimmering torso and flashes of body adornments," she explains.
The ceramic tiles are designed to withstand the African sun for 100 years.
Cultural HeartThe theatre will form part of the Jabulani Business Node, which will be focused on a zone of public space called the Cultural Heart. It will include the refurbished Jabulani Amphitheatre, parks, public art and other public amenities.
The aim is for this zone to drive cultural and artistic excellence.
Included in the business node will be the 300-bed Jabulani Provincial Hospital and a residential area with three- to five-storey walk-up blocks of flats. Unit prices are expected to range between R300 000 and R500 000. A city improvement district (CID) will be established once the precinct is fully fledged.There will be 25 000m² of retail, 10 000m² of office space and 4 000 mixed income residential units, 30 percent of which will be earmarked for low income earners.
Legacy projectThe Soweto Theatre is one of the seven legacy projects of the 2010 FIFA World Cup™, which were designed to ensure that Johannesburg and its residents continued to benefit from the football tournament long after it had finished.
Other legacy projects are: installing street furniture in the inner city; greening soccer fields; an indoor sports centre in Orlando; upgrading Diepkloof Hostel; greening Klipspruit River; and establishing Rea Vaya, Joburg's Bus Rapid Transit facility.
The green light was given for work to begin on the theatre in 2009, when Amos Masondo, at the time Joburg's mayor, turned the sod. Speaking on the day, he said that such a facility was necessary as it formed part of transforming Soweto from a dormitory into a normalised neighbourhood.
"We are striving to change Soweto into a sustainable human settlement that is known not just as a place where people come from but where people also go to."

Carbon Offset Aggregation Cooperative Earns Double Honours
A first-of-its-kind program by an innovative Pacific Carbon Trust supplier received double honours recently at the BC Natural Resource Forum & Economic Summit's Northern BC Business and Technology Awards. Carbon Offset Aggregation Cooperative's (COAC) inroads into reducing fuel use in the BC resource and transportation sectors garnered widespread praise for the co-op, formed just one year ago.
COAC's two awards – for Technology Provider of the Year and Technology and Industry Newsmaker of the Year – celebrate the Prince George-based organization's initiative in providing cutting-edge technology and services to help owners of heavy equipment and trucks reduce their diesel fuel consumption, capture carbon offsets from the emissions reductions and lower their operating costs.
It's a lofty goal. After all, every year heavy trucks and equipment consume billions of litres of diesel fuel, emitting millions of tonnes of greenhouse gases in the process. And the basic logistics are challenging, too. To carry out their program, COAC has to go to where the machines are – usually into the woods where they're working.
Yet, the pilot project is right on track. COAC has been busy equipping three types of vehicles – freight trailers, bucket trucks and log loaders – with on-board computers. The computers record the vehicles' operations and determine their fuel use, which is compared to pre-calculated baseline data. Operators then receive all the information they need to lower their fuel consumption, an action that reduces harmful GHG emissions. The reduced emissions are eligible for offsets, which Pacific Carbon Trust has committed to buy.
"It really is a venture into uncharted territory," says COAC's CEO, George Stedeford. "But it's proving successful, and we're grateful to all the believers."

James Joyce & the Best Novel of the 20th Century
Instructor: Professor Roy Gottfried
Location: 200 Benson Hall
Days and Time: Monday evenings 6:30- 9:00
First class: August 31st
Course Description:
Always considered a high modernist of extreme difficulty and obscurity, James Joyce nevertheless has continued to be influential and widely read. This status has been confirmed by a reader's poll where his Ulysses was voted the most important novel of the twentieth century. In every decade since his works began to attract interest, Joyce has been the premier model and the focus of differing, even contradictory critical attitudes.
Joyce was seen as a foremost practitioner of modernism and now is considered a practitioner of postmodernism. He was considered a writer of universal scope, displaying cosmopolitan interest; he is viewed an Irish writer reacting to British Imperialism. He was treated as a mythmaker for modern life; he is seen as the minute recorder of the material culture of the modern era. He began writing in a style of scrupulous exactness and ended by writing in confusing obscurantism that seems even today to prefigure the cybernetic future of communication.
This course will examine the manifold, if paradoxical, status of Joyce by scrutinizing his major work; at the same time it will consider the historical and cultural influences on him and the various critical receptions to him over the last seventy years.
We will read Joyce's collection of short stories, Dubliners, as a prelude to a thorough reading of Ulysses, and if time permits, a short look at selections of Finnegans Wake. Although his texts seem to be impersonal and distant, he was a highly autobiographical writer, so as a consequence we will read his biography and selections of his letters. We will examine critical trends and cultural developments all in an attempt to explore the confusions, attitudes, and positions of the modern era..
Because Joyce's corpus is a compendium of twentieth-century modes of thought, reading it should best be a collective and collaborative endeavor. To this end, the course will be an interactive seminar, wherein each student will bring his or her personal interests and professional expertise to weekly discussions.
Course Instructor:
Professor Gottfried is the author of four books on Joyce, the most recent Joyce's Misbelief (2007) and one awarded the southeastern Modern Language Association Book Prize of 1995. He joined the Vanderbilt faculty in 1975, after taking his graduate degrees from Brown University and Yale University. He has taught courses in Modern British Literature, Modern Irish Literature, a survey of British Poetry, and the Bible in Literature. He also serves as the University Marshall at Commencement.
The History of Fashion, Sex, and Propaganda
Instructor: Professor Alexandra Sargent
Location: 203 Neely Auditorium
Days and Time: Thursday evenings 6:00- 8:30
First class: September 3rd
Course Syllabus: Read the full syllabus
Course Description:
"The History of Fashion: Sex and Propaganda" is a study of fashion's connection to fine art and architecture. Aristocratic trend-setters like Nefertiti, Elizabeth I, Louis XIV, Madame Pompadour, Napoleon I, Queen Victoria, and a host of other fascinating personas, used clothing and accessories symbolically (and theatrically) to influence people and to glorify themselves and their era. Studying period silhouettes, fabric, and the treatment of the human form, we will investigate the history of clothing design and how it has been used for sex, propaganda, and representation of other aspects of an age. For the final project, students will create visual timelines, choosing images from a number of periods to show how the development of any civilization can be understood by what it was wearing.
Course Instructor:
Alexandra Sargent holds an MFA in Costume Design from Northwestern University. She is the designer and costume shop manager for the Vanderbilt University Theatre Department where she teaches Costume Design, Costume Technology, and The History of Fashion. Alex has worked as a freelance costume designer for theatre and dance, and has taught at Middlebury College, The University of North Carolina at Wilmington, The International Academy of Design and Technology, and Vanderbilt University. Collaborating with students to find connections between fashion and art history, and analyzing how fashion is used in bold and meaningful ways for story telling in theatre and film, has been an exciting and rewarding exploration.
Urban Growth and Public Policy
Instructor: Professor Malcolm Getz
Location: 117 Calhoun Hall
Days and Time: Tuesdays, 6:30-9:00
First class: September 1st
Course Syllabus: Read the full syllabus
Course Description:
Why do cities grow, how do they change, what is the role of government? We will use the tools of modern economics to explore how cities affect consumer welfare. We will analyze the location decisions of households and firms and explore the fiscal choices facing local governments.
Students will be expected to read ahead, speak engagingly in class, write concise essays, assume an active role in shaping their course, and support each other's efforts to understand the issues.
Because most of us live in urban settings, the issues in this course are of considerable current interest. Students will be expected to read a good newspaper (e. g. New York Times) and, in class and in essays, relate the economic theories to the current public discussion of housing, commuter transportation, schools, crime, and property taxes.
Course Instructor:
Mr. Getz has been a faculty member in economics at Vanderbilt since 1973. He was Director of the Jean and Alexander Heard Library (1984-94) and Associate Provost for Information Services and Technology (1985-94). He is the Director of Undergraduate Studies in Economics (1996- ). An award winning teacher, he has authored three research monographs, two textbooks, and 40 essays on issues in libraries. He earned his BA in economics from Williams College in 1967, and his PhD in economics from Yale University in 1973. Mr. Getz won the Jeffrey Nordhaus Prize for Teaching in the College of Arts and Science in 1998, the Ernest A. Jones Prize for Faculty Advising in1998, and the Madison Sarratt Prize for Undergraduate Teaching at Vanderbilt in 2000.
Mr. Getz's recent writing addresses economic issues in electronic publishing. One essay describes the adoption of innovations in higher education. His most recent book, Investing in College, is shrewd and sensible, an invaluable resource and a beacon of sanity for college-bound students and the families who support them. His new textbook, e.stat for business and economics, is published by South-Western College Publishing, 2001.
Listening to Films
Instructor: Professor Stan Link
Location: Blair 2192
Days and Time: Tuesdays, 6:30-9:00
First class: September 1st
Course Syllabus: Read the full syllabus
Course Description:
Although we commonly say that we "watch a movie," this course begins from the premise that hearing is as vital to the experience of cinema as the eye. Film's presentation of music, sounds, and human voices may often be heard as elaborating on the image, dialogue, and story.
But sound also has its own work to do in our interpretation of events, and its own way of doing it. By closely examining and analyzing excerpts from dozens of classic and recent films this class will put the entire soundtrack in the foreground of "watching." Our immediate goal will be to understand how listening reveals and constructs characters, deepens locations, unfolds time, guides the eye, interprets dramatic events, and stimulates emotional responses, etc. Ultimately, however, the course also aims at highlighting the ear's contribution to our experience of our own lives in a world that may, in fact, only appear to be driven by images.
Course Instructor:
STAN LINK Associate Professor of the Philosophy and Analysis of Music

The History of New Orleans
Instructor: Professor Daniel Usner
Location: Buttrick 205
Days and Time: Tuesday, 6:30-9:00
First Class: September 1st
This Core Seminar is required of all newly admitted MLAS students and any students admitted in Fall 2007 and thereafter who have not yet completed a Core Seminar . Those students admitted for the 2009-2010 Academic Year will follow a 30 credit- hour degree requirement, which entails the Core Seminar as one of their initial courses and the Capstone Seminar as one of the final courses in the program. Other MLAS students may enroll in this course contingent upon sufficient space.
Course Description:
Perhaps more than for any other city in the United States, the history of New Orleans demonstrates the complex interaction between urban societies and natural environments over the last three centuries. The destruction and despair following Hurricane Katrina brought New Orleans to the forefront of public debates over both social and environmental policies, making the Crescent City's condition and location significant issues over night. This course will raise new questions about its history in light of the post-Katrina disaster and reconstruction. From its creation as a French colonial town in 1718 to its current crisis as a severely damaged American metropolis, New Orleans has experienced both advantages and disadvantages in its location. To appreciate what is truly unique about the city, we will explore how its diverse residents have interacted so creatively with their natural environment. To comprehend the hazards posed by natural forces, we will also scrutinize government policies that manage commerce, urban growth, industrial development, flood control, and emergency response.
Course Instructor:
Holland M. McTyeire Professor of History and former chair of the history department, Daniel Usner has devoted most of his research and writing to the Gulf Coastal South. His publications include Indians, Settlers, and Slaves in a Frontier Exchange Economy: The Lower Mississippi Valley before 1783 (University of North Carolina Press, 1992), American Indians in the Lower Mississippi Valley: Social and Economic Histories (University of Nebraska Press, 1998), and Indian Work: Language and Livelihood in Native American History (Harvard University Press, 2009). A native New Orleanian with close personal and professional ties to the Crescent City, Usner has plenty of experience teaching about south Louisiana. Before joining Vanderbilt's faculty, he led Cornell University alumni on several study tours of New Orleans. After Hurricane Katrina struck the Gulf Coast, he offered a multidisciplinary course about New Orleans to Vanderbilt undergraduates in the spring of 2006.
The War in Iraq
Instructor: Professor Katherine Carroll
Location: 117 Calhoun Hall
Days and Time: Tuesdays, 6:30- 9:00
First class: September 1st
Course Syllabus: Read the full syllabus
Course Description:
The War in Iraq will examine various aspects of the conflict from its beginning to the present including Iraqi history and culture, US military organization and operations, and politics (Iraqi, American, and international). This course will cover many topics, but its guiding theme will be the experience of the US military on the ground in Iraq. What challenges has the military faced in Iraq? How has the military as an organization addressed these challenges? Students should leave the course with a better understanding of both Iraqi society and the US military.
Course Instructor:
Katherine Blue Carroll is an Assistant Professor in the Department of Political Science with special interests in democratization, foreign policy, and the US military. Her doctorate is from the University of Virginia and her undergraduate degree is from Indiana University. At Vanderbilt she teaches courses on Middle East Politics, Comparative Politics, and Terrorism, and she has previously taught a course on Middle East Politics in the MLAS program.

Edward Frenkel: What is it that distinguishes us from, you know, cavemen? I would say it's the level of abstraction that we can reach. And, you know, to give a simple example, it used to be that there was barter trading so you would exchange, you know, wheat for meat or something like this. But then eventually there was an abstract idea, the idea of money. You know, it's like a piece of paper but this piece of paper actually signifies a certain value and you can exchange it for goods and services. So that's the next level of abstraction. But now we are dealing with an even higher level of abstraction because I don't actually see money that much. I see a piece of plastic, credit cards. I swipe my credit card.
So suddenly that's the next level of abstraction. So this credit card somehow has become this abstract entity which carries money – which itself carries certain wealth, right. And now we're going even deeper. Now money could be nothing but a line of code which appears in a Bitcoin ledger. So that's the kind of progression, that's the kind of, you know, evolution that I'm talking about. Evolution of abstraction. And so abstraction is king in this brave new world and the key to abstraction is mathematics.
And I do believe that we will have a better freer society when we have less math ignorance and we have more understanding of mathematics. And, of course, I'm not saying that everyone should become a mathematician. On the contrary.
But what I would – what I dream of is a society in which if mathematics is brought up people don't run away from it – don't say, "Oh my gosh, this is terrible. I hate mathematics. I don't want to talk about it. I'm scared. I'm frightened." And I understand why people are scared and frightened. It's not their fault. It's because of how mathematics is taught in our schools. But it's a very unfortunate situation when you can't even begin a conversation about mathematics without people saying, "Oh my gosh. I don't want to talk about it." And it's kind of strange because no one would ever say, "I hate literature" or "I hate art" or "I hate music." At least intelligent people would never say that. It's kind of shameful to say that.
But it's perfectly okay in our society to say, "I hate mathematics." So that's where, I think, where there's so much work that can be done and needs to be done. And so what I dream of is a society in which not every – it's not that everyone has a Ph.D. in mathematics but rather I would like to live in a society in which if mathematics is brought up someone would say, "Oh, mathematics. Interesting. How do I find out more and to give me a gist of the idea? I'm not scared of it. I'm curious about it. The way I'm curious about solar system and about the atoms and the DNA." All those things which are in our collective consciousness, in our public discourse, which are no simpler than mathematical concepts.
Mathematical concepts are no more complicated than these concepts in physics and biology that are in the air, that are – that we are aware of. So I would like people to be aware of this, of these mathematical ideas. I would like them to be more and more aware of how mathematics invades our lives, how it's controlling our lives. Be it through things we discussed earlier or through things like algorithms that we face when we go and buy a book on Amazon or rent a movie on Netflix. I mean in all of these instances we are presented with recommendations and things like that which are based on sophisticated algorithms. And I do believe that if we understand better how mathematics works, how mathematics enters our lives, we will be better equipped to deal with the challenges that, you know, this brave new world presents to us.

Instragram has made Viddy an overnight success.
This is all based on anonymous leaked information, so take it for what it's worth, but sources including Pando Daily, Tech Crunch, and Business Insider are reporting that Viddy is raising $30 million in new Series B funding. The service has been given a valuation of between $300 and $370 million, various sites report. Business Insider says venture capital firm NEA is involved in the round.
For those unfamiliar, Viddy is an app-based service that lets people shoot, upload, and share short videos. It could be called a video Instagram, and that's surely the reason for its enormous valuation (if the rumors are true). While Viddy launched in April, 2011, Facebook's $1 billion purchase of Instagram appears to have suddenly made Viddy a hot property.
Never mind, it seems, that there are other competing services with devoted followings, such as Color, Qik, and Socialcam. Never mind that people often get hyped about consumer video services, but quickly abandon them (think Apple FaceTime).
None of this is to disparage Viddy, which is attractively designed and has attracted celebrities as users and investors. Shakira and Jay-Z are reported to have invested. Viddy is so far only available for iOS, although Android and other versions are in the works.

I think a classic name needs to sound classy throughout a long period of time, but most of all it has to sound classy now. I respectfully disagree with pp's ideas of names like Helen and John. They are a bit dated, and I think they will be for a while. I would just be really surprised to meet a baby named something like that. They were popular for a very long time, but their popularity is waning so I don't consider them as classic. I think maybe these names are what I would consider as classic as it gets.

More power to Nan Rich. The Broward Democrat (who is running for her party's nomination for governor — something you probably didn't know) has her heart in the right place. She proudly champions all the issues a progressive should.
This is precisely the reason why she has little chance of beating newly minted Democrat Charlie Crist for the nod. Florida is one of those states where — at least for statewide candidates — a little moderation is appreciated. Setting aside the extreme conservatism of the state Legislature, whose makeup can be ascribed to artful district gerrymandering, Florida is a tossup state where anybody who is serious about winning statewide office can't hail from the lunatic fringe.

Becoming lucid views: 16155
How cool would it be if you were able to control your dreams? Well, total control is obviously not possible. You cannot pick what you will dream, but yes, some people can control their actions in dreams called lucid. Also in these dreams anything you imagine is possible.
Now lets make something clear when it comes to lucid dreams and dream control. Yes they are connected, but in some other ways dream control can be present in other than lucid dreams. Also depending on the levels of lucidity the level of control varies. The higher that level is the more control you will have over yourself or your actions. For instance at a high level of lucidity you cannot experience fear or any other such negative emotion because all the time you are completely aware all that is happening is not real. On the other hand if lucidity is at a very low level the control may also be almost absent. But as we know: practice makes perfect. So with some of it you can master the skill of dream control.
The definition of a lucid dream is very simple. It means that while you are dreaming you are aware of it. The term "lucid" was created by a Dutch psychiatrist Frederik Van Eeden considering by "lucid" mental clarity.
A lucid dream can begin in two ways. It can be a dream-initiated lucid dream (DILD) which starts as a regular dream, and it can be a wake-initiated lucid dream (WILD) which occurs when the dreamer goes from a waking state directly into a dream state, without an obvious lapse in consciousness. The awareness of dreaming, in the first case, usually starts in the midst of a dream, and it is often triggered by a completely illogical happening in a dream, such as flying. But it can also happen spontaneously with no trigger.
Lucidity may be of a high or low level. If at a high level the person is completely aware everything happening at that point is a dream and that there is no danger. On the other hand when lucidity is at a low level you are aware to some extent that some parts of the dream are not real, but that impression is limited only to nonsense motifs in the dream.
There have been some speculations about lucid dreams being something occult and include dark arts, but it is important to know - this is a myth. Lucid dreams are a completely natural happening, and they are experienced by the majority of people only some experience them more often than others.
Now, imagine the possibilities in a dream that is lucid. Where anything you desire can happen. Imagine the adventures you could experience, the events you could experience…something you've recently read about, or seen a movie about. Wouldn't it be amazing?
There is also one other very important benefit lucid dreams offer. You could prevent nightmares.
Many people have trouble sleeping because of frequent nightmares. If fully lucid during a nightmare, you will realize none of it is real, and become free of the anxious emotions you were going through up till then. Imagine the relief.
If you would like to try, and induce lucid dreams with yourself, here are some helpful advice. The first step towards it is remembering your dreams. This is very important. If you don't recall your dreams, even if you do have a lucid dream, you won't remember it. The minimal condition you need to complete is remembering at least one dream per night. For this you will need a good night sleep. You need to be well rested, for if you are not getting enough sleep, and are stressed it will be much harder for you to remember your dreams. This way, also, if you sleep longer and get more rest - you dream more too. And the longer you sleep the longer your dreams will be. A very useful aid in this mission of yours can be a dream journal.
A dream journal should be kept near the bed, so it would be easier for you to find it after you wake up from a dream. When writing you should write everything you can remember from a dream, and you should not neglect any inconsistencies of incoherent parts. Everything needs to be there. Of course if you wake up in the middle of the night from a dream it is probable you would be more comfortable with going back to sleep than sitting down and writing every detail, and it is not a suggestion to do. You should go back to sleep, but it would be useful if you would write down some keywords just so in the morning you could read those and maybe remember what was the dream about. You should also make peace with the fact some dreams are simply easier to remember than others. To ameliorate your memory you should not be doing anything in the morning before you write down you dream(s), nor should you think about anything that should happen to you that day. It would be helpful too, if you would motivate yourself before going to sleep to remember your dreams. Try focusing on them, and give yourself a little pep talk before you go to sleep.
Of course not all dream memories come to you as soon as you wake up. Probably you will not recall everything about the dream, or you will recall only one part, or a fragment will be missing. But during the ongoing day you may experience a sudden memory of something from your last night's dream. Be ready to put that in notes as well.
Your goal is to improve from remembering one dream per night to remembering several of them. This takes time. So be patient.
When it comes to control in your dreams you will also have to focus on your intent to do so, just like with the recollection of your dreams.
Dream signs can also be helpful in inducing lucidity. They are some frequent objects you dream of. It can be a place, person or an object. Through your dream journal you will start noticing them, and become able to use them. Very often these signs will be something fantastic and impossible you have been dreaming of like flying, breathing under water etc. Also they can be phenomena like these: being naked, mute, paralyzed. And one very common dream sign is falling out of your teeth or hair. Dream journal will massively help you also with figuring out what your personal dream signs are. What was stated earlier is a pattern that commonly happens to people. But every person has their own frequent dream elements others do not experience. Hey can be very helpful, and you should try and figure them out.
Now here's how it works: you will use these dream signs as cues when to focus on whether the event in you dream is possible or not. That way you will start rationally thinking in dreams. This is very important for lucidity. If you do it often, it will eventually become a habit and it will provide you with lucid dreams.
There is another test if you are dreaming or not. Take a glance at something (if possible) you can read or at a clock, if the inscription or time changes drastically you will know you are in a dream.
It is common among the first lucid dreams to wake up due to the excitement you experience after realizing you are dreaming, so don't be discouraged if your first lucid dream isn't as long as you'd expected. Therefore you should try and calm yourself so that wouldn't happen. If after realization your dream starts to fade you can try dream spinning technique. It is simple you just start spinning around on the spot like children do. It actually works! Or another strategy would be rubbing your hands in the dream. As silly as it sounds…it does the trick.
Well this would be it. Hopefully you will try some of this, and it will work for you. Until then, pleasant dreams.

Oscar Stock #9 -
Southwest Airlines (LUV)
This wonderful animated film is about a loving husband named Carl who loses his wife and best friend in his golden years and becomes a bit of a
crank as a result. But thanks to the help of a bumbling "Wilderness Explorer" tot named Russell, Carl fulfills his lifelong dream to visit
the South American wonder known as Paradise Falls. The family movie won Best Animated Picture at the Oscars.
In Up, Carl's preferred mode of transportation is a house tethered to hundreds of helium balloons. Since the FAA frowns upon such
behavior and prefers that travelers use boring old airplanes to get around, Southwest (LUV)
is a much better way to profit from the business of travel. The company continually ranks highly with customers, and has topped Wall Street forecasts
by 50% in each of the last two quarterly reports.

Barrett-Jackson 2012: 1947 Bentley Mark VI Franay sold at $2.5 million
by Jeremy Korzeniewski (RSS feed) on Jan 21st, 2012 at 8:20PM
Easily one of the most beautiful cars to roll down the auction block at the 2012 Barrett-Jackson event was this 1947 Bentley Mark VI. It's hard to describe just what this Bentley's coachwork looks like, so we suggest you check out the live photos we took of the machine as it was being auctioned. A few things we know for sure, though. This Bentley has won just about every award it has been eligible for, including being voted as the best of its breed by the Rolls-Royce Owners Club. That, for those unaware, is a very big deal in such circles. Apparently, a number of bidders at... Read More

United have played Arsenal more than any other club down the years.
The Gunners have not been out of top-flight football since 1919, and in addition to all the league meetings, they have frequently gone head-to-head with the Reds in domestic cup competitions.
Factor in a Champions League semi-final and the odd FA Charity or Community Shield and the two clubs have contested 216 competitive meetings in total, with more epic encounters sure to come. Here, we assess some of the key moments...
Humble beginnings: It was all a bit different when the clubs first met on 13th October 1894. United, known then as Newton Heath, faced Woolwich Arsenal at the Bank Street ground in east Manchester, with honours even after a 3-3 draw.
Record breaker: Since that first meeting there have been some memorable tussles, but one that still burns bright is our incredible 8-2 win at Old Trafford in 2011, the record victory in the history of the fixture.
The history man: Ryan Giggs has more reasons than most to look back on United v Arsenal meetings with pride. The veteran has featured in this fixture 49 times, a record that like others set by the Welshman will stand for a very long time to come. Of all of these games, the most memorable must be the FA Cup semi-final replay win at Villa Park (again) in 1999, where his stunning solo run and goal clinched a place in the final and kept the Treble dream on track.

Learning Disabilities Basics
The following is a transcription of the podcast, "Learning Disabilities Basics (audio)."
In this podcast, NCLD's Dr. Sheldon Horowitz, answers common questions on the basics of learning disabilities. Learn about how learning disabilities are identified and specific ways executive functioning and executive processing relate to learning disabilities.
This is the first in a three-part series developed with the Student Success Collaborative.
Karen Golembeski: Welcome to this installment of the Student Success Collaborative podcast series on learning disabilities. This podcast and the Student Success Collaborative are generously funded by the Cisco Systems Foundation. The Student Success Collaborative consists of partners City Year, Silicon Valley Education Foundation, Teachers without Borders, One Global Economy, and the National Center for Learning Disabilities.
My name is Karen Golembeski and I'm the assistant director of education programs at the National Center for Learning Disabilities, and with me today is my colleague, Dr. Sheldon Horowitz, and he is the director of LD Resources and Essential Information at NCLD.
Welcome Dr. Horowitz.
Sheldon Horowitz: Thank you very much.
Karen Golembeski: Today we have some questions that have been sent in to us through the Silicon Valley Education Foundation's network of educators in Silicon Valley out in California, as well as the U.S.-based teachers that are connected to Teachers without Borders. So we're going to start today with some questions on the basics of learning disabilities and we're hoping that you can shed some light on what learning disabilities are and help us gain a better understanding for how to appreciate when people have a learning disability.
Sheldon Horowitz: It would be my pleasure. Let me begin by saying something about learning disabilities in general and share a little bit of information about how they are different from other types of disabilities. The words "learning disabilities" or the phrase "LD" is a name that we give not to a specific disorder but rather to a group of disorders. And this umbrella term, meaning a group of different disorders, points to specific disabilities, specific weaknesses, in the ability to do reading and writing and math and spelling and other kinds of skills that are needed to succeed in school. Whatever the areas of weakness, a person with a learning disability is of at least average intelligence and the reason for their difficulties is unexpected. LD is not the result of poor teaching. It's not the result of laziness. It's not the result of poor motivation. Each person with learning disabilities processes information in their own special kind of way and the more they know about what they need to succeed and the better we know as teachers and parents about what they need to succeed, the better they'll be to work around or even in some cases to overcome the challenges of LD.
Another important thing, distinction that needs to be made is that learning disabilities sometimes occur or co-occur with other disorders like ADD or ADHD. Now let me say that these are two different disorders: LD and ADHD are two different disorders that, however, share some characteristics. So for example, a student with LD and another student with ADHD who doesn't have LD, can both have a hard time absorbing information spoken aloud by a teacher in a classroom or might struggle extracting information from written passages in a textbook. In terms of how it is that you understand a learning disability or what some of the features of a learning disability are, I would urge everyone to visit the LD.org website and download and view and share and spend some time looking at NCLD's LD Checklist. It is the best-in-the-business overview of some of the risks and some of the characteristics of LD, spanning from the very early years right through adulthood. And as an aside, I would say please visit the website frequently and look for a soon-to-be-released checklist that's personalized for Spanish-speaking families as well. So, that's coming soon.

MAC All That Glitters Eyeshadow | Not Glittery, Just Pretty
I don't own a ton of MAC eyeshadows. I only had Brule and Club to my name and now this one which makes 3. I was in search of a wearable eyeshadow that could work the lid scene on its own and not darken the situation. Something you could apply evenly with a single ring finger for both lids…something like the ultimate workhorse champagne beige hue. Behold MAC All That Glitters eyeshadow which ironically isn't all that glitters…
MAC All That Glitters isn't at all nearly gold enough to be called rose gold. It's a true rosy champagne beige with a satiny sheen. It's kind of like MAC Cosmetics' version of Stila's Kitten eyeshadow which is pretty,too, but Stila's Kitten is so soft and crumbly and with too much fallout for a rush job Vivianna of Vivianna Does Makeup raved about this eyeshadow as the sort that gets people commenting even though sometimes they can't find the words to describe what's on your lids. It's also an obviously wearable bridal shade. I got mine for Php900 from the Rockwell MAC Cosmetics outlet.

Associated Press
DETROIT — A Detroit police officer charged in the fatal shooting of a 7-year-old girl says he unintentionally pulled the trigger during a struggle with the victim's grandmother.
Joseph Weekley told jurors Thursday he didn't immediately realize he had shot Aiyana Stanley-Jones during the 2010 house raid. Weekley is charged with involuntary manslaughter.
He says he didn't know Aiyana was asleep on the couch and that he saw only laundry and blankets during the search for a murder suspect.
He says he feels "devastated and depressed" by what happened.
Weekley says Aiyana's grandmother, Mertilla Jones, grabbed his gun — a claim she denied in earlier testimony. On cross-examination, Weekley conceded that it would be his fault if he failed to use "ordinary care" resulting in injury to another.
