Exploring Fort Desoto Park
Come along with me as I explore Fort Desoto Park in Tierre Verde, FL. I'll show you some of the things you can see and do at this historic site. It is home to many native bird species but it is also a stopover site for migrating birds. It is a prime site for many birders and photographers which come from all over the world to visit this park. It is one of my favorites.

C-SPAN Cities Tour - Fort Myers: Useppa Island and the Bay of Pigs Invasion
Hear about the area's connection to the Bay of Pigs Invasion of 1961. In early 1960 the CIA began psychological testing on anti-Castro Cuban exiles from the Miami area on a small island known as Useppa Island. Their use of the island and its facilities lasted only a few months and much of what took place there wasn't know to locals for years. We'll hear from the owner of the island about the secret CIA training that took place there.
Buster Simpson: Art Antioxidant
Buster Simpson, an artist active since the late 1960s, has worked on major infrastructure and planning projects, site-specific sculptures, museum installations, and community interventions. Simpson was born in Saginaw, Michigan, and attended the University of Michigan, where he received his MFA in 1969, and later, the Distinguished Alumni Award in Architecture and Design. Simpson is a recipient of numerous awards, including NEA fellowships and the Americans for the Arts Public Art Award in 2009. “I prefer working in public spaces. The complexity of any site is its asset, to distill, build upon, and reveal, the challenge is to sharpen the conjunction between poetry and place.”
Simpson has exhibited at The New Museum, MoMA PS1, Seattle Art Museum, The Hirshhorn Museum, Capp Street Project, International Glass Museum, and a recent retrospective at the Frye Art Museum. Simpson’s work is included in numerous public commissions throughout North America.

Dr. Dennis HANISAK 01 22 14 : Indian River Lagoon Observatory
The Indian River Lagoon Observatory (IRLO) was initiated to investigate ecological relationships in the Indian River Lagoon (IRL) and how they are impacted by natural and human-induced stressors. An important component of IRLO is the development of a network of advanced observing stations in the Lagoon. Recently deployed Land/Ocean Biogeochemical Observatory (LOBO) units provide real-time, high-accuracy and high-resolution water quality data through an interactive website. This enables all of us -- scientists, managers, educators, students, and the public -- to better observe long-term ecosystem changes and those driven by events such as freshwater discharges, algal blooms, storms, and droughts.
This lecture will first explore what is water quality, a term that includes a number of physical, chemical, and biological components. Collectively they impact initially the base of the food web (seagrasses and algae) and ultimately the diversity and productivity of the entire ecosystem. Introducing this LOBO network into the IRL will provide scientists of various disciplines from many organizations reliable, continuous observatory data to better quantify and model relationships between environmental factors and biological processes in the IRL.
WREC 2013: Subsidized Jobs for Youth
The New York City Center for Economic Opportunity (CEO) implements a range of subsidized jobs programs for young adults who are disconnected from work and school. The panel describes the implementation of these programs and how to use public funding to implement them for distinct populations, as well as lessons learned from independent evaluations of the programs. Erica Zielewski (Administration for Children and Families) moderates the session, while Dan Bloom (MDRC) serves as a discussant. Carson Hicks (New York City Center for Economic Opportunity) provides an overview of several CEO subsidized jobs programs, describes key lessons learned from program evaluations and addresses how these programs have been replicated through New York City's Young Men's Initiative and the Social Innovation Fund. Courtney Hawkins (FEGS Health and Human Services System) offers a provider's perspective on implementing subsidized job programming, focusing on intake practices, case management and what works best for whom. Clyde McQueen (Full Employment Council) shares his experiences implementing the Social Innovation Fund's Project Rise program in Kansas City, highlighting lessons learned about program adaptation.

GSD Talks: Clare Lyster and Mason White
Clare Lyster and Mason White join Charles Waldheim, Daniel Ibañez, and others to discuss the recently released volume, Third Coast Atlas: Prelude to a Plan.
Third Coast Atlas: Prelude to a Plan (Ibañez, Lyster, Waldheim, and White, eds.) describes the conditions for urbanization across the Great Lakes region. It assembles a multi-layered, empirical description of urbanization processes within the drainage basins of the five Great Lakes and the Saint Lawrence River. This thick description encompasses a range of representational forms including maps, plans, diagrams, timelines, and photographs, as well as speculative design research projects and critical texts. Postponing diagnosis, let alone treatment of these conditions, Third Coast Atlas aspires to simply describe. It proposes a new geographic gestalt for urban analysis. Superimposed upon the North American continent, and with easily recognizable yet divergent political and geological borders, this megaregion traverses portions of eight U.S. states and two Canadian provinces, as well as the world’s largest collection of surficial fresh water. Third Coast Atlas characterizes the littoral edge as a distinct field of urbanization, and constructs a reading of the region both specific and speculative.
In this event, Lyster and White will present a brief lecture, followed by a panel discussion with Pierre Bélanger, Rosetta Elkin, Daniel Ibañez, and Rania Ghosn. Charles Waldheim will host and moderate the discussion.
Clare Lyster is an Irish architect, educator, and writer based in Chicago, Illinois. Lyster is associate professor at the University of Illinois at Chicago School of Architecture. She is principal of CLUAA, a research-based design office in Chicago operating at the intersection of architecture, landscape, and planning.

Mason White is a Canadian-American architect and urbanist based in Toronto, Ontario. White is founding partner of Lateral Office, a Toronto-based experimental design practice that operates at the intersection of architecture, landscape, and urbanism. In addition to his practice, White is associate professor at the Daniels Faculty of Architecture, Landscape, and Design at the University of Toronto. He is recipient of the Emerging Voices and Young Architects Prize from the Architectural League of New York; the Wheelwright Fellowship from the Harvard University Graduate School of Design; the Friedman Visiting Professorship at the University of California, Berkeley; and the Lefevre Fellowship at The Ohio State University.
