Escaping Cascadia by Todd Albertson An undergraduate honors thesis submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Bachelor of Science in University Honors and Geography Thesis Adviser: Dan DeWeese Portland State University 2015 Copyright © 2015 by Todd Albertson Albertson i Abstract The preface, “Dualism and Narrative Mode,” details the development of realist techniques and then looks to current research to address the question, “In what other ways can realism be maximized within fiction?” It proposes a style combining second- person imperative narration for the viewpoint character’s actions and third-person free indirect discourse for description and internalization. The introduction, “The Geography of the Future,” explores prediction within select works, examines mitigation reactions to such predictions, and details current geographical projections to build a picture of what the future may look like and how humans will interact with their environment. Escaping Cascadia is a novel written in the style proposed by the preface, with the intent to maximize psychological realism and reader immersion, and to minimize the voice of a narrator and the reader’s awareness of an author.

  • Tufts and the Medford Community
    Tufts and the Medford Community Connecting with Neighbors It is impossible to imagine Medford today without Tufts University. Our “children, our businesses, and our institutions all benefit because Tufts calls our city home. We continually find new ways to work together and meet the evolving needs of our residents and the Tufts community. We are proud to have Tufts as our partner. MAYOR MI”CHAEL J. MCGLYNN The Office of Community Relations at Tufts is pleased to present this report to the Medford community. It is a snapshot of the many connections, partnerships, interactions, and opportunities that bring the Medford and Tufts communities together. Straddling the Medford/Somerville city line, Tufts University, through its Office of Community Relations and many other departments, works with neighbors, organizations, city government, and the public schools to enrich all parties and build strong partnerships. The Tufts University campus occupies roughly 150 acres, with approximately half of the university in each city. The Medford/Somerville campus houses the School of Arts and Sciences, the School of Engineering, the Jonathan M. Tisch College of Citizenship and Public Service, and the Fletcher School. In addition, the School of Medicine, the School of Dental Medicine, the Sackler School of Graduate Biomedical Sciences, and the Gerald J. and Dorothy R. Friedman School of Nutrition Science and Policy occupy a campus in Boston’s Chinatown district. The Cummings School of Veterinary Medicine is located in Grafton, Massachusetts. To our Medford neighbors: Tufts University is proud that it has shared a rich history with the City of Medford for nearly 160 years.

  • MOONWALKER© the Reflection of Michael
    PRESS KIT Starring — MICHAEL FIRESTONE MOONWALKER© THE Reflection of Michael A LIVE TRIBUTE TO THE MUSIC, DANCE AND ARTISTRY THAT WAS MICHAEL JACKSON Produced by: CLASSIQUE PRODUCTIONS, INC., Las Vegas, NV MICHAEL FIRESTONE BIO MICHAEL FIRESTONE Bio Michael Firestone was born in Rome, NY. Music played a large part in Michael's life, and no artist more so than Michael Jackson. In addition to being a songwriter, singer, dancers and musician having several “original” projects in progress, Firestone learned to imitate every move and vocal vibration of Michael. He performed Jackson's songs in shows throughout his adolescence. Once Firestone became an adult, he moved to Las Vegas and began a career impersonating the 'King of Pop.' Prior to Michael Jackson’s untimely death, Firestone has performed as a Michael Jackson tribute artist in live shows such as 'MTV Magic' and 'Around the World' in Asia. He also performed for 'Legends in Concert' in Myrtle Beach, 'LaCage' and 'Masquerade' in Atlantic City. Firestone also did guest appearances on 'Larry the Cable Guy's Christmas Spectacular' and the Asian variety show 'The Bon Show.' Since Michael Jackson’s tragic passing, Firestone has become one of the most respected and sought after Michael Jackson tribute artists in the USA performing at the following venues: *Harrah’s Carnival Court in Las Vegas, NV *Harrah’s Horseshoe Casino in Hammond, IN *Harrah’s Ak Chin Casino in Maricopa, AZ *Harrah’s Casino in Laughlin, NV *Harrah’s St Louis, MO *Florida Marlins National Baseball Team *MJ Festival, Dewey
