Wardrop NEWS&NOTES A Gaelic Old Time f you, like some of us here in Boston—a bonafide hotbed of Irishness—are just now recov- Iering from your St. Patrick’s Day hangover, you better hold onto your scally cap. Another occasion to celebrate all aspects of your Celtic heritage has arisen—the 2007 ICONS Festival, held August 10–12 at the Irish Cultural Center of New England in nearby Canton. Formerly known as the Irish Connections Festival, this annual appreciation of Irish cul- ture has grown in scope this year—taking the traditional cultural fair filled with Irish foods, crafts, games, children’s activities, dance exhibitions and much more, and adding to the mix a massive three-day concert that features not only traditional Irish acts like Tommy Makem, Altan and others, but also folk artists and rockers like The Black Crowes, Nanci Griffith and Boston’s own Celt-punk superstars The Dropkick Murphys (pictured above). The result is a party that can’t be beat—one that will more than tide you over until next March 17.

  • Chinatown and Urban Redevelopment: a Spatial Narrative of Race, Identity, and Urban Politics 1950 – 2000
    CHINATOWN AND URBAN REDEVELOPMENT: A SPATIAL NARRATIVE OF RACE, IDENTITY, AND URBAN POLITICS 1950 – 2000 BY CHUO LI DISSERTATION Submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in Landscape Architecture in the Graduate College of the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign, 2011 Urbana, Illinois Doctoral Committee: Professor D. Fairchild Ruggles, Chair Professor Dianne Harris Associate Professor Martin Manalansan Associate Professor Faranak Miraftab Abstract The dissertation explores the intricate relations between landscape, race/ethnicity, and urban economy and politics in American Chinatowns. It focuses on the landscape changes and spatial struggles in the Chinatowns under the forces of urban redevelopment after WWII. As the world has entered into a global era in the second half of the twentieth century, the conditions of Chinatown have significantly changed due to the explosion of information and the blurring of racial and cultural boundaries. One major change has been the new agenda of urban land planning which increasingly prioritizes the rationality of capital accumulation. The different stages of urban redevelopment have in common the deliberate efforts to manipulate the land uses and spatial representations of Chinatown as part of the socio-cultural strategies of urban development. A central thread linking the dissertation’s chapters is the attempt to examine the contingent and often contradictory production and reproduction of socio-spatial forms in Chinatowns when the world is increasingly structured around the dynamics of economic and technological changes with the new forms of global and local activities. Late capitalism has dramatically altered city forms such that a new understanding of the role of ethnicity and race in the making of urban space is required.

  • Runners-Up 5-8 Years Age Group the Stars Shine
    Runners-Up 5-8 years age group Name: Clara T Age: 5 Description: This story was inspired by a large sequin star that Clara brought home from pre-school. She held it in her hand as she spoke the story. “The stars are kind. They help to look after people and make them happy. That is what makes the stars heroes”. Judges notes: “Beautiful imagination and empathy. Fiction teaches us to care about others – such empathy at so young an age!” The Stars Shine There are stars that help us to climb on them and the rainbow helps to make a ladder to them and then the people can get them when they are really sad. The stars will help them and they fill their buckets. They read a book to them and then give them and then give them cuddles when they have finished. It makes the sad person happy. About the rainbow – it will tell us somewhere quiet in the land and we fly out and no-one can see us if we want. We sit on the clouds and the rainbow will tell us if there are people that are sad. The stars move and she when they see someone crying and then they move down to help the person. Each person has a star. Name: Jai H Age: 7 Description: The super heroes are looking for a new member of their team – Super Duck is born! Judges notes: “Great imagination and narrative with humour”. “Good imagination” “It’s about time we had an ‘underduck’ superhero!” Super Duck In a calm little pond right next to a park a large family of ducks were happily swimming in a pond.

  • Cartoons/Comics
    Delaware Winter Invitational, 2010 Cartoon and Comics packet by Mark Pellegrini, Rob Poirier, and Nick Lacock Tossups 1) Tim Curry provided the voice for this series' main antagonist, an ancient warrior- sorcerer who captured Atlantean souls in the Crystal of Souls. Each episode ended with the protagonist giving an educational fact pertaining to the events in the episode. The main character's pet iguana Thor was once devolved into a dinosaur by Dr. Zygote. The titular character, accompanied by bodyguards Norman and Virgil, travels through portals in time and space using his red cap. This show is, for ten points, what cartoon based on the Polly Pocket toy line? ANSWER: Mighty Max 2) In this character's original appearance he was killed by an evil snowman. This character has taken on many roles, including a tooth fairy, a sumo wrestler, a pimp, a member of Osama Bin Laden's harem, a Vietnamese prostitute named Ming Li, and General Robert E. Lee. This character is given to frequent bouts of racism, such as his insistence that Jews can't be pirates, gingers have no souls, and all black people know how to play the bass guitar. He once made chili out of Scott Tenorman's parents. He frequently sings that his friend's mom is a big fat bitch, and demands that people respect his "authoritah." This is, for ten points, what fat character on South Park?
