The home stretch, and more

There are two videos that I have embedded here.  If they do not come across, then head to the notes blog for the posting with the title "The home stretch, and more"
The first video is my YouTube clip.  I had to edit out the first minute-plus because .... after recording, I found while reviewing that there was no sound .... aaaah!  I was talking about Thanksgiving, towards the end of which apparently the bluetooth device started working.  Oh well .... Most of the video clip is about the final task, and a recap of what we have accomplished thus far.

The second video is from Ted.com, and is a talk by Majora Carter, about urban renewal in the Bronx.  I have this video for multiple reasons: it might provide you with some more perspectives on the topics we will look at for the rest of the term, and, of course, the final task I have for you.  If we were in a regular class, I might show this video and then invite comments and rejoinders.  So, please watch it and, of course, let us know if you have any comments ....

My plan includes doing another video clip in the next couple of days to discuss some of the specific ideas/concepts in the readings--I am hoping that by then you would have scanned through them and, therefore, will be able to follow along.  So, until then ....
