Just When We Were Getting It Right: Stormwater Management for the 21st Century in the Pacific Northwest
No full textBooth will review development in the Puget Sound region. He will ask: have landscape-scale changes resulted in a landscape-scale of mitigation? The answer: not exactly. Mainly, we use end-of-pipe detention systems. Even with water detention, hydrograph changes and their consequences are still significant. Booth will present some low-impact alternatives, such as rain gardens, bioretention swales, green roofs, and permeable pavements. Booth will conclude by reviewing the current global warming trends, and discussing stormwater management strategies in context.Stillwater Sciences, Inc

David F. Booth

Booth".Index to the location of names on the quilt ; H2These patches were signed by people who visited the Northern Territory during the Year of Commemoration of the Bombing of Darwin, 1992, or who wrote from interstate or overseas during that year. The quilt measures almost five metres by three, and is designed to resemble a typical porcellanite stone wall as can still be seen on some old Darwin buildings. In addition to the names on the Quilt there are nurse's colourpatch, the emblem of the Civil Construction Corps and twenty pictures of sites which would have been familiar to people of Darwin at the time. Some of the buildings can still be seen today, whereas others have disappeared as a result of enemy action, Cyclone Tracy or the indomitable march of progress. The illustrations on the Quilt were based on photographs taken during the war years and now held in the collections of the Northern Territory Library. The Quilt was made by Jenny Armour, and took about 18 months of weekends and other free time to complete, using techniques of patchwork, applique, and machine embroidery and was quilted using 100% Australian wool batting

The construction of Karen Karnak: The multi-author-function
No full textThis thesis is situated within the comparatively recent developments of Web 2.0 and the emergence of interactive WikiMedia, and explores the mode of authorship within a Read/Write culture compared to that of a Read/Only tradition. The hypothesis of this study is that the role of the audience has become merged with the author, and as such, represents new functions and attributes, distinct from a more conventional concept of authorship, in which the roles of audience and author are more separate. Read/Write and participatory culture, as defined by this study, is focused on collaboration, and includes the influences of D.I.Y. culture, Open-Source practices and the production of text by multiple authors. Multi-authorship presents a re-thinking of several concepts which support the notion of the individual author, since the focus of multi-authorship is not on attribution and ownership of a finished text, but on the continued malleability of a text. Modes of multi-authorship, demonstrated in the use of the pseudonyms Alan Smithee and Karen Eliot, represent declarative authors whose names signify multiple origins, whilst concurrently indicating a distinct body of work. The function of these names form an important context to this study, since primary research involves the construction of an experimental mode of multi-authorship utilising WikiMedia technology and the interaction of thirty nine participants, who are invited to create a body of work under the collective pseudonym Karen Karnak. The data generated by this experiment is analysed using aspects of Michel Foucault's author-function to identify and determine power structures inherent in the WikiMedia context. The interplay of power structures, including concepts such as identity, ownership and the body of work, affect the resulting mode of authorship and contribute to the construction of Karen Karnak, suggesting further areas of research into the emerging multi-author
