SSU Geology Students Study Prehistoric Life in the Canadian Rockies
Twelve hearty souls from the SSU geology department took a six-day field trip in early September to the Canadian Rockies in British Columbia and Alberta to explore the world-renown Burgess Shale, a UNESCO world heritage site widely lauded as the most important fossil locality in the world.
This field trip ran in conjunction with the upper level Geology elective course, GEL321: Burgess Shale Paleontology, a class taught since 2003 by paleontologist Matt James.
The fossils of Burgess Shale were discovered in 1909 during construction of the Trans-Canadian Railway. These 505-million-year-old fossils, remnants of creatures that once lived in a shallow sea, are the best record of the period of time after the appearance of modern hard-shelled multicellular animals and have proved pivotal to the study of paleontology. They are located in the majestic Canadian Rockies on the eastern border of British Columbia, surrounded by stunningly beautiful mountains shaped by numerous glaciers--in short, a geologist's heaven!
After a day of travel to their home base in Field, British Columbia, the first full day in the field was spent traversing the massive Athabasca Glacier with a mountaineering guide. The Athabasca Glacier is a six kilometer long sheet of blue-green ice that slowly cascades down a valley connected to the Columbia Icefield, transporting massive sediment loads as it travels nearly 30 meters a year. On an all-day six-mile hike up the glacier, students learned about glaciology, saw fantastic examples of a landscape carved by glaciers, and witnessed firsthand the effects of climate change as the ice retreated up the valley.
Next on the agenda were two days exploring the Burgess Shale on guided hikes to the Walcott Quarry and the Mount Stephen Trilobite Beds. This meant a strenuous 13-mile hike, starting at a waterfall and heading uphill through beautiful forests, followed by traversing a mountain with stunning alpine scenery to the most important of fossil sites, the historic Walcott Quarry, where the Burgess Shale fossils were first discovered. Along the way students learned of exotic Cambrian animals such as the fearsome Anomalocaris, the five-eyed Opabinia, and the otherworldly Hallucigenia.
The next day featured a steep 5-mile hike up Mount Stephen where there were so many trilobite fossils that we couldn't help but step on them! At both of these sites, students were rewarded for their physical effort with amazing fossil finds and breathtaking views of the surrounding mountains.
The last full day of the trip brought students into the world of mountains, faults and glaciers with a hike around the gem of the Canadian Rockies, Lake Louise. A six-mile hike brought students to a fantastic lunch at the Plain of Six Glaciers Tea Hut, a charming, historic and primitive restaurant only accessible by foot.
With bellies full of tea and hot scones, the intrepid geologists continued up the valley to a scenic overlook and discussion of the tectonic formation of western North America. With weary legs, the group hiked down and enjoyed a wonderful sendoff dinner, sampling meat from the characteristic terrestrial megafauna of a North America (Buffalo, Caribou, Elk, etc.) at the Emerald Lake Lodge.
The sixth day was for travel, but along the way students were treated to a private tour of the Royal Tyrell Museum of Paleontology in Drumheller, Alberta. With a behind the scenes tour by a resident paleontologist, they learned about all the hard work that goes into the preservation of fossils, explored the back room archives and enjoyed a private tour of the main exhibits of the museum.
With more than 30 miles of hiking packed into four full days, students traveled back to campus tired, in markedly better shape than when they began, and with a renewed vigor to continue their geologic education at SSU. There is no substitute for fieldwork and hands-on learning in the natural classroom of the Earth. Students had a great time on this trip, were exposed to beautiful and world-famous geology, and made memories to last a lifetime.

Marylu Mattson - Hutchins pioneer
Marylu Mattson, one of the first professors to teach in the Hutchins School of Liberal Studies at Sonoma State University, passed away on December 30, 2012. Admired by colleagues and students alike for her combination of rigor and creativity in teaching, she was also a dedicated researcher in the humanities and sciences.
A lifetime love of California history led her to explore many corners of the state and culminated in a comprehensive historical narrative: Shaman's Dream: The Modoc War came out in print a few weeks before her death. She also co-authored an acclaimed textbook on writing, Help Yourself: A Guide to Writing and Rewriting, which went through several editions and was used by teachers throughout the country.
Marylu Catherine Mattson was born on September 12, 1933, in Los Angeles, California, daughter of Fred and Lucille Mattson and younger sister to Fred junior. She attended St. Agnes grammar school in the central area of Los Angeles, then following the war the family moved to San Fernando where her father had a grove of ornamental eucalyptus that also included resident geese, goat, cow, dogs, and her cherished horse.
Childhood friends remember her playing the ukelele with the same zest that she prepared for debates, at which she shone. Lu attributed her intellectual awakening to an elderly woman in the neighborhood who shared with her a rich and varied library and collection of classical music, the origin of her lifelong love of literature and opera.
She graduated in 1951 from the high school at Mission San Fernando, and that fall entered Mount St. Mary's College in Los Angeles. Her classmates remember her wit and passion, and "creativity in subverting draconian dormitory regulations." In 1955 she graduated with B.S. in microbiology and chemistry; the avant-garde yearbook she produced that year anticipated lifelong experiments in the arts.
After a year spent touring Europe, she returned to Mount St. Mary's and completed requirements for the B.A. in English, then went on to UCLA, earning an M.A. in English in 1964. A summer spent in art classes in San Miguel de Allende, Mexico, initiated a lifelong avocation in visual arts, especially sculpture and printmaking.
In 1965 Lu entered the Ph.D. program at the University of Southern California. From graduation through her years of postgraduate study in the humanities she continued scientific work, primarily in the UCLA Hematology Research Laboratory.
Co-workers note that she mastered the arcane language of enzyme biochemistry and developed into a highly sophisticated experimentalist, making a valued contribution to a seminal study in pyruvate kinase deficiency.
In 1967-68 she returned to Europe, first participating in an archeological excavation, then traveling via an Italian scooter through England and the continent, and eventually plunging into the intensive research in London libraries, archives and public records offices that culminated in her frequently-cited Ph.D. dissertation, "Censorship and the Victorian Drama" (1969), still one of the most comprehensive studies of the subject.
From 1968-1970 she was a lecturer in English at California State University Los Angeles, where she initiated an innovative student-to-student tutoring program.
In 1970 Marylu Mattson joined the Hutchins School of Liberal Studies at Sonoma State University as one of the original faculty members hired to create the new School's interdisciplinary curriculum.
She was valued as colleague and administrator, at different times serving in the Academic Senate and the Vice President's Council, as Campus Coordinator of Computer Assisted Instruction, as elected Chair of the Division of Cluster Schools, and as Provost of the Hutchins School.
Students and peers alike recognized her excellence in teaching: besides teaching expository and creative writing she helped design team-taught undergraduate courses as well as upper division seminars in her areas of special interest including "Censorship in the Arts," "Masterpieces of the Humanities" and "The Irrational in the Western Tradition."
A skilled seminar leader, Professor Mattson modeled intellectual curiosity and openness to new ideas with strong critical sensibility and an absolute commitment to high standards.
A former student spoke for many in saying she was "blessed to be among the fortunate lives she touched and enriched," and a colleague commented on Lu as "a wonderful colleague, and a person of great depth and kindness."
Retirement in 1992 brought more opportunities for research, travel and exploration in the arts. In 1998 she relocated to a vacation cabin in South Lake Tahoe, and in 2001 moved to Santa Fe and then to Glorieta, New Mexico; the southwest sojourn included many trips to San Miguel where she continued study in graphic arts and was welcomed into an intellectual expatriate community.
In 2009 she returned to her beloved Russian River valley and resumed research on the Modoc War. Shaman's Dream: The Modoc War began in the 1970s as a film project and eventually engaged her in far-flung and obscure archives and libraries throughout the west and in Washington, D.C.
Framed as "creative non-fiction," it is the most comprehensive and well-documented study available of the last "Indian war." She also continued work in the arts, proudly showing friends a new press she was using to produce graphic designs, and she integrated professional and artistic interests by promoting a collaboration between the Mendocino Art Center and the Sonoma State art department.
Those who knew her--friends, colleagues, students from many places and diverse backgrounds--share admiration for her intellectual integrity, her personal loyalty, and above all her generosity and courage and her great joy in life. Faced with risky and complicated surgery for cancer, her question was, "Which procedure will leave me still able to ski?"
After suffering a massive stroke, she fought to regain her verbal skills by writing a novel. She loved to gamble, at the blackjack table and at the track; when she won a scratch-off prize she used the money to treat friends to a day at Santa Anita-- where she won the daily double; when she lost, she threw back her head and laughed at the unpredictability of everything.
She plunged wholeheartedly into all her projects, she was constant in support of her friends and colleagues and their endeavors, and from their first appearance in California she was a dedicated fan of the Los Angeles Dodgers.
Marylu is survived by her life partner of 35 years, Linda Day, and was a wonderful second mother to Linda's children Erica Sargent, Andrea Sargent Harbin, and Scott Sargent . She will also be missed by her grandchildren Clara and Amelia Schaeffer, Rowan and Duncan Harbin, Owen and Tavis Sargent.
Claudia Luke - A Bridge Between Individuals and the Environment
Intrigued by the environment at a young age, Sonoma State Director of Field Stations & Nature Preserves Claudia Luke always knew that her place was outdoors.

"It's a great honor to be chosen to lead a wonderful group of over a thousand talented and dedicated university faculty and high school teachers."

UNIVERSITY ART GALLERY: "In the Valley of the Sun" Multi-media Exhibit Aims at Sonoma's Legacy of the Moon
The University Art Gallery at Sonoma State University is pleased to announce In the Valley of the Sun, a multimedia installation by collaborative artists Kevin Cooley and Phillip Andrew Lewis, which opens with a reception on Thursday, Oct. 30 from 4-6 p.m., and will be on view through Sunday, Dec. 7. The artists will discuss their work during a noon lecture on Wednesday, Oct. 30.
The interplay between examination of materiality and poetic references to theory forms Kevin Cooley and Phillip Andrew Lewis' creative practice, driving their work into unexpected territory. Their works consistently act as a meditation on process as well as a response to a particular time or place.
For their new, site-specific installation In the Valley of the Sun, the artists conducted research into the origins of the word Sonoma, and the title of their work is an obvious reference to the meaning of Sonoma as "the Valley of the Moon."

Though admission is free, tickets are required and can be reserved online at http://www.tickets.edu/tix or by phoning 707.664.4246.
"I think this work is a hugely important work of the 20th century that threw open the possibilities of music in the later part of the century, "says cellist Saeunn Thorsteinsdottir, a member of the Trio Ariadne.
"It is a hugely personal, yet universal piece of music that has captured the imagination of not only the first audience of hundreds of prisoners of war and the Nazi guards, but well beyond those horrifying circumstances. It is a message of hope in the face of suffering, a true testament to the human spirit."
Trio Ariadne are the 2013-14 Weill Hall Artists-in-Residence. In addition to Thorsteinsdottir, they also include Elizabeth Joy Roe, piano, and Carol McGonnell clarinet. Guest violinist Joe Edelberg is the concertmaster of the Santa Rosa Symphony.

NFPA 25: Standard for the Inspection, Testing, and Maintenance of Water-Based Fire Protection Systems, Spanish, 2011 Edition
|Item # 2511E
|Member *
|Quantity Discounts
The 2011 Spanish edition of NFPA 25 will raise confidence in every fire protection plan.
Sprinkler systems can reduce the average property loss by 71% in the event of a fire. However, improper maintenance can result in less sprinkler effectiveness or even failure. Changes in NFPA 25: Standard for the Inspection, Testing, and Maintenance of Water-Based Fire Protection Systems will help maintenance professionals, inspectors, and building owners keep systems ready to respond.
Revised Chapter One clarifies NFPA 25's scope and purpose.
NFPA 25 is so essential to proper sprinkler care, it's adopted by jurisdictions nationwide, and NFPA 13 requires installers leave a copy of NFPA 25 with property owners. Revised Chapter One clarifies the role NFPA 25 plays in a fire protection plan. It's the only source for the latest rules on fire sprinkler systems including foam-water and fixed water spray systems, standpipe and hose systems, fire pumps, fire service piping and appurtenances, and water storage tanks.
Major revisions:
- New terms define "critical deficiencies" and "noncritical deficiencies," so maintainers and owners can determine corrective actions and prioritize repairs.
- Updated testing frequencies are based on the growing database of inspection, testing, and maintenance records. Maximize time and efficiency without compromising reliability.
- Other revisions clarify the roles and responsibilities of the building owner and the designated owner's representatives. This helps avoid critical oversights in sprinkler care.
- Use all-new Annex E classifies sprinkler repairs. Real-world examples of sprinkler repairs and their classifications are based on the new terms for critical and noncritical deficiencies.
- The Hazard Evaluation Form in Annex F will help you identify how changes in building occupancy, use or process, or materials used or stored could impact the adequacy of the fire protection systems.
Be confident sprinklers will respond when needed! Reduce risk with the 2011 Spanish edition of NFPA 25. (Softbound, 120 pp., 2011 Spanish Edition)

Narrow shoe!
I bought a couple of pairs of these sandals, couldn't even get my toes in them, and I ordered a size larger than I usually wear. Too narrow! So I returned them.
San Antonio, TX
This strappy sandal ROCKS!!!
When the description stated that you will want a pair in every color...that was no joke! I already have two more colors in my shopping cart and may add a third. These sandals are very impressive...great quality too. Super cute and extra comfy. They are the perfect height for all day wear and could be dressed up or down. I had not ordered from Chadwicks in years but so glad I thought about your company recently when in search of new sandals. I am more than pleased with my purchase. Peace&Love!
San Antonio, Texas
Cute & Comfortable
These are the cutest, comfortable shoes. I can't normally wear high heels for very long and I wore these to two weddings and danced all night!
Ballwin, MO
Great Summer Shoe
I love these shoes! I was afraid they would be uncomfortable, but they very comfortable. The heel height is just right and so stylish. I initially bought two colors and was so pleased I ordered two more colors. I would recommend these to everyone.
Savannah, GA
These have style, and they have comfort!I've bought six pairs, and am thinking of buying more to hoard them! FABULOUS!!!!!
designer 553
palm beach, florida
Gorgeous shoes
These shoes are absolutely beautiful! I bought them in nude and silver and I can't wait for the warmer weather to wear them! They are the PERFECT HEIGHT! I plan to purchase all the colors!!
York, Pa
Just perfect!
These are the most versatile, comfortable heels I have. I can wear them 12-15 hrs no problem. Wish they were still in the 3 3/4" heel so I could buy more! Please bring those back! Perfect shoe to wear with anything & several colors to choose from.
Thomasville, NC
The ideal summer shoe
When I find a great shoe, I buy in every color I need. This IS THE summer shoe, Ladies! I love the nude. It's such a great color, and so versatile and sexy! I also bought the white, navy and black. They are cute, comfortable, and easy to walk and dance in. With the ankle strap, my foot (7.5 M) feels very secure and the toe strap is just snug enough, too. While not the best quality, they are a good deal, and I expect them to last at least one season. Please don't stop making them!
Fresno, CA
Comfy, Cute, but Cheap
These shoes are the perfect height, are very comfortable, and look great. The price is right too. However, like most shoes with a buckle, I just slide them on instead of undoing the buckle. Unfortunately one shoes strap split at the seam on the left side (opposite the buckle). I was able fix it, since it was my own fault for not "un-buckling" them first, but now I just am VERY careful when sliding them on. I would consider another pair of these, now knowing they are a bit more cheaply made.
Columbia, SC
Great Shoe
I LOVE THESE SHOES!!!! I bought 2 pairs last summer and love them. They are so comfortable!! I am now buying 2 more pairs!!
Whitinsville, MA
