Faculty: Mark Erickson - Paleontology Cathy Shrady (Chair) – Petrology, Structure Geology Jeff Chiarenzelli – Mineralogy Stephen Robinson - Geomorphology Carl Pierce - Geophysics Global Studies Major and Minor offered Philosophy: Global Studies is an interdisciplinary major designed to prepare students with new analytical frameworks for understanding the transnational phenomena that attract the label ―globalization‖ and for evaluating critically both the phenomena and their popular representations. Global studies must expand over a number of subject areas including, but not limited to, biology, economics, ethnic studies, literary theory and sociology. Highlights: The major asks students to choose two areas of the world and some subject matter that connects them. Working closely with an academic advisor, students design their major around a problem or theme, which will be the basis for an independent project in the senior year. Majors are recommended to go abroad to one of the areas of concentration for field experience, in order to do research for the senior project. Students may apply for various types of funding to support research for their senior project. St. Lawrence University hosted the 2007 Political Economy of the World-System (PEWS) annual conference Professors Ganesh Trichur and John Collins recently presented papers at the annual meeting of the Global Studies Association (North America) Global Studies majors Shazia Shahnaz and Sasha Tedeschi were recently awarded a grant as part of the ―100 Projects for Peace‖ program established by philanthropist Kathryn Wasserman Davis The Weave is an independent news media analysis project created by students and faculty affiliated with the ―Global News Analysis‖ class taught in the Global Studies Department at SLU (http://stlawu.edu/global/the-weave) Faculty: Eve Stoddard (Dept. chair) John Collins Martha Chew-Sánchez Ganesh Trichur Kallen Martin Florence Molk Government Major, combine major (w/ African studies, Asian studies, Canadian studies, and environmental studies) and minor offered Philosophy: This department introduces students to a broad range of political values, theories, practices, and institutions.

Eating Near the LA County Museum of Art

What are good places to eat for lunch or dinner near the LACMA? Would like something with delicious food. I am traveling to LA for a day to view a current exhibit so want something convenient and casual.
The Farmer's Market is a good idea. Otherwise, it depends on what you want. I like Doughboys on 3rd St (just W of Crescent Hghts.). Huge sandwiches, interesting salads, and very good baked goods for dessert. (Although sometimes their bread is a little doughy for me).
0 -
I love the Gumbo Pot. It's cajun, and it's very good. They have a big food court with just about every type of food.
0 -
Sorry. The Gumbo Pot is in the Farmer's market. Not sure if that was clear from my last post.

I think the best place at Farmers Market is the Brazilian BBQ place. There are a lot of posts on this board about favorites at Farmers Market.

A man goes to the doctor and says, "Doc, I would like to live very long. What should I do?" "I think that is a wise decision," the doctor replies. "Let's see, do you smoke?" "Oh.. Half a pack a day." "Starting NOW, no more smoking." The man agrees. The doctor then asks, "Do you drink?" "Oh, well Doc, not much, just a bit of wine with my meals, and a beer or two every once in a while." "Starting now, you drink only water. No exceptions." The man is a bit upset, but also agrees. The doctor asks, "How do you eat?" "Oh, well, you know, Doc, normal stuff." "Starting now you are going on a very strict diet. You are going to eat only raw vegetables, with no dressing, and non-fat cottage cheese." The man is now really worried. "Doc, is all this really necessary?" "Do you want to live long?" "Yes." "Well then, it's absolutely necessary. And don't even think of breaking the diet." The man is quite restless, but the doctor continues, "Do you have sex?" "Yeah, once a week or so..., only with my wife!" he adds hurriedly. "As soon as you get out of here you are going to buy twin beds. No more sex for you. None." The man is appalled. "Doc... Are you sure I'm going to live longer this way?" "I have no idea, but whatever you live, I assure you is going to seem like an eternity!"

Blake Lively - Blake Lively praises 'magical' new L'Oreal Paris role
Blake Lively is excited about joining the likes of Beyonce and Julianne Moore as a L'Oreal Paris ambassador.
Blake Lively says it's ''magical'' being the new face of L'Oreal Paris.
The 'Gossip Girl' actress was unveiled as the cosmetics giant's latest beauty ambassador in an Instagram post on Tuesday (29.10.13) and the blonde beauty was quick to express her delight at her new role.
The statement read: ''Exclusive announcement: We're excited to welcome the gorgeous and talented Blake Lively, our new ambassador for L'Oreal Paris! She's most definitely worth it!''
Blake will join gap-toothed model Lara Stone as one of the French brand's new recruits for next season, as well as an impressive array of A-list spokeswomen, including superstar Beyonce, actress Julianne Moore, model Doutzen Kroes and 'Desperate Housewives' star Eva Longoria.
She told French Vogue after the announcement: ''It's an honour to join such a prestigious brand... and a family of such amazing ambassadors. They're not just beautiful: they're women with character, with power even. They sing, star in important films and aren't afraid to speak up. It's magical for me to think that I'm now part of their club!''
This marks the first cosmetics deal for the 26-year-old actress, who has been the face of Gucci's Premiere fragrance for over a year.
Blake revealed she is picky when it comes to make-up and skincare products and will only use the best on the market.
She added: ''I've always loved very technical formulas that offer a bit extra... A day cream can't simply hydrate my skin for me to be satisfied: it must disguise my pores, preserve my skin's elasticity and make it look fresh and smooth... Essentially, my skin needs to look perfect, like it's been airbrushed.''

Are Credit One and Capital One the same company?
Sometimes in the financial world, names get confused because banks tend to use the same words repeatedly in their names. Just think how many banks have some combination of the following words in their name: "First", "National", "America", "Financial", "World, "City", "Capital", "U.S.", "Credit", and, of course, "Bank".
Two banks that sometimes get mixed up among consumers are Capital One and Credit One Bank. However, despite the fact that they both have "One" in their names and Capital One is most known for its credit cards and they both have that boomerang swish as part of their logos, they are different banks and have no affiliation with one another.
While Capital One offers a range of credit cards to customers of all credit levels, Credit One Bank is much more likely to be offering credit cards to people with bad credit histories.
Strangely enough, there doesn't seem to have been any legal actions between the banks over the names or logos. Perhaps it's for the very reason I mentioned above: banks so often get their names from the same pool of "bankish" words that it would probably be difficult to make the case that their names are unique enough to stop other banks from naming themselves something very similar.

If you want to be surrounded by females on the prowl, it pays to be cool, at least if you are a male butterfly.

In an unusual example of sex role reversals, females actively court males after being exposed to cool, dry temperatures as caterpillars, Yale University researchers report in the Jan. 7 issue of the journal Science. Raised in the moist and warmer season as larvae, males take up the traditional roles of suitor, displaying their wing designs to females who do the choosing.
"Behavior in these butterflies is changed by the temperatures experienced during development," said Kathleen L. Prudic, post-doctoral researcher in the department of ecology and evolutionary biology and co-author of the paper.
Those females raised in the cooler season and actively courting males will live longer lives once they mate relative to their mated counterparts in the hotter season who are engaged in more passive mate shopping.
The research began when Prudic and Antonia Monteiro, professor in ecology and evolutionary biology, asked why female squinting bush brown butterflies or Bicyclus anynana had beautiful ornamental patterns shaped like eyes on their wings just as males did. In most species, males end up with often elaborate and colorful ornamentation to attract mates while females, who do the selecting, tend toward duller displays. The researchers theorized that perhaps courtship behavior might change given different environmental conditions. They tested the behavior of butterflies raised in larval stage at 27 degrees C and at 17 degrees C.
As expected, female Bicyclus anynana in warmer moister conditions that mimic the wet season in the native African range were more likely to mate with males with ornamented wings. However, the roles were reversed in cooler drier climates. Females played the role of suitors and flashed their eye spots to choosy males. When scientists studied the wing spots, which reflect light in the UV range, invisible to humans, they found they were brighter in the courting females relative to the males of that same season, or relative to females raised in the hotter season.
Prudic said that male butterflies also deliver nutrients as well as sperm during mating and that in less than optimal times for reproduction (the dry cool season) these male offerings appear to lead to increased female longevity. Females want to survive through the dry season and furiously display to as many males as possible in order to obtain these resources from males. Males, on the other hand, become very careful about choosing who they give these resources to because once they do, they live shorter lives. Only the ladies carrying bright eyespots have a good chance of attracting a mate.
Hui Cao and Cheonha Jeon of Yale contributed to the work.
The study was funded by the American Association of University Women, the Yale Institute of Biospheric Studies and Yale University.
