Centers and Programs at the School of Forestry & Environmental Studies
Teaching, research, and outreach at the Yale School of Forestry & Environmental Studies are greatly enhanced by the centers and programs that have been initiated by faculty over the years. The centers and programs, each with a different concentration, are a key component of a student's learning experience. They allow students to gain hands-on clinical and research experience through funded student internships and projects, coordination of faculty research in areas of common interest, and creation of symposia, conferences, newsletters, and outreach programs.
Centers and programs are funded primarily through private foundations, nongovernmental organizations, state and federal agencies, international granting agencies, and private corporations. The nature and number of centers and programs evolve over time, reflecting faculty and student interest. Under the current organizational structure, each program falls under the umbrella of a center, which enables further collaboration and resource sharing.
Yale Center For Environmental Law & Policy
The Yale Center for Environmental Law & Policy, a joint undertaking with Yale Law School, seeks to incorporate fresh thinking, ethical awareness, and analytically rigorous decision-making tools into environmental law and policy. In addition to its research activities, the center aims to serve as a locus for connection and collaboration by all members of the Yale University community interested in environmental law and policy issues. The center supports a wide-ranging program of education, research, and outreach on local, regional, national, and global environmental issues. These efforts involve faculty, staff, and student collaboration and are aimed at shaping academic thinking and policy making in the public, private, and NGO sectors. One of the center's flagship products is the biennial Environmental Performance Index, which ranks countries on performance indicators tracked across policy categories covering both environmental public health and ecosystem vitality.
The center facilitates a joint-degree program in which master's students at the School of Forestry & Environmental Studies can additionally pursue a law degree from Yale Law School, Vermont Law School, or Pace Law School. Undertaken separately, these two degrees would take five years to complete. Together, students can earn both degrees in four years. The center provides research, educational, career development, and social opportunities for students enrolled in the joint program as well as others affiliated with the center.

Yale Center for Business and the Environment
The Yale Center for Business and the Environment (CBEY) provides a platform for generating, incubating, and launching innovative action at the intersection of business and the environment. This includes building new connections, approaches, courses, areas for research, and other initiatives for the benefit of both students and those critical resources on which we all rely: energy, water, food, land, materials, and a range of other goods and services. To reach this goal, CBEY needs to be nimble and innovative, keeping pace with evolving markets and consumer/student interests. CBEY also needs to partner with a wide range of actors across Yale (students, faculty, staff) and in the professional world (alums, companies, NGOs, governments).
The center joins the strengths of two world-renowned graduate schools—the Yale School of Management (SOM) and the Yale School of Forestry & Environmental Studies (F&ES)—together with an extensive network of internal and external thought leaders at the business-environment interface. Professors, students, alumni, guest scholars, and affiliates of each school contribute to the center's mission by studying and experimenting with innovative business approaches to the world's most significant environmental issues. The center's work covers finance, entrepreneurship, marketing, operations, and strategy on issues involving energy, water, carbon, food, natural areas, and society.
CBEY is home to the United States' oldest joint-degree program in business and the environment, a nationally preeminent curriculum that addresses the twofold need for environmental leadership in business and skilled managers in environmental organizations. This three-year master's program combines the M.B.A. from Yale SOM with one of four available degrees from F&ES.
The center's activities include, but are not limited to:
- • Providing support for the three-year joint M.B.A.-Environment degree program and advancing joint programs between F&ES and SOM
- • Hosting speaker series and seminars on leadership in sustainability, entrepreneurship, ecosystem services, energy efficiency, and environmental economics
- • Coordinating research fellowships or internships in corporate environmental management and strategy, renewable energy finance, and community-based marketing
- • Developing case studies, new courses, and research publications
- • Organizing an annual conservation finance camp for conservation professionals
- • Sponsoring speaker series, workshops, grants, and prizes to support environmental entrepreneurship
Activities in each of these areas bring together students, faculty, staff, policy experts, and practitioners from a wide range of institutions around the world.

Center for Green Chemistry and Green Engineering at Yale
The mission of the Center for Green Chemistry and Green Engineering at Yale is to advance sustainability by catalyzing the effectiveness of the Green Chemistry and Green Engineering community. Green Chemistry and Green Engineering represent the fundamental building blocks of sustainability. Working in these disciplines, chemists and engineers are creating the scientific and technological breakthroughs that will be crucial to the future success of the human economy.
The Center for Green Chemistry and Green Engineering at Yale works to stimulate and accelerate these advances. Guided by four core operating principles—(1) Insist on scientific and technical excellence and rigor, (2) Focus on generating solutions rather than characterizing problems, (3) Work with a diverse group of stakeholders, and (4) Share information and perspectives broadly—we seek to accomplish four key objectives:
- • Advance the science
- • Prepare the next generation
- • Catalyze implementation
- • Raise awareness
The center concentrates on five focus areas, outlined below.
Research The center supports and advances research in Green Chemistry and Green Engineering (GC&GE), a critical component to building the community, designing and discovering innovative solutions, and achieving a sustainable future. The center serves as a catalyst to both Yale and the greater GC&GE communities for discipline-specific and cross-disciplinary research collaborations focused on key areas of GC&GE within science, technology, and policy for sustainability.
Policy and outreach The center engages in policy, communication, and outreach initiatives that raise awareness of—and support for—GC&GE. In this dialogue the center engages with a wide network of stakeholders, including NGOs, industry, academia, and government, as well as local communities and the general public.
Education A robust educational program is an essential element of the center. Center activities are focused on educating undergraduate and graduate students in the principles and practice of GC&GE. The center also serves the wider academic community by providing opportunities for faculty training and by developing and disseminating GC&GE curriculum materials.
International collaborations GC&GE are rapidly spreading through both industrialized nations and the emerging economies. In all regions, the center engages with the network of scientists, engineers, policymakers, business people, and public health and environmental experts focused on sustainability science on behalf of the greater good.
Industrial collaborations GC&GE can only provide meaningful impact on the challenges of global sustainability when implemented on a large scale. For this reason, collaboration with industry is a key part of the center's work. Direct engagement creates a dialogue that informs industry of the latest research breakthroughs in the field of sustainable science and technology. Likewise, such engagement informs academic researchers on industry's most important concerns. This dialogue facilitates a direct line for implementation of these innovations.
Center for Industrial Ecology
The Center for Industrial Ecology (CIE) is dedicated to the development and promotion of research, teaching, and outreach in industrial ecology. The field is focused on the concept that an industrial system should be viewed not in isolation from its surrounding systems, but in concert with them. It is a systems approach that seeks to optimize the total resource cycle from the perspective of the environment and sustainability. Among the programs and goals of the center are the following:
- • Conducting pathbreaking research in industrial ecology
- • Hosting of visiting domestic and international scholars in industrial ecology
- • Master's, doctoral, and postdoctoral study and research in industrial ecology
Major foci include (1) the Stocks and Flows Project, in which investigators are evaluating current and historical flows of specific materials, with an emphasis on metals, estimating the stocks available in different types of reservoirs, and evaluating the environmental implications; (2) the Industrial Symbiosis Project, in which multiyear research has been conducted, including examination of the environmental and economic rationale for intra-industry exchange of materials, water, and energy; (3) the Criticality Project, which aims to understand the supply, demand, and future prospects for the metals of the periodic table; (4) the Program on Industrial Ecology in Developing Countries, which adapts industrial ecology theory and practice to issues related to energy access, water quality and quantity, waste and material management, and global warming in industrializing countries with a current focus on a study of low-carbon and sustainable cities in China, India, and the United States; and (5) Extended Producer Responsibility (EPR) research, which analyzes the conceptual, political, and legal foundations of EPR, including investigation of how, when, and why local government units might adopt EPR, the conditions necessary for the implementation of individual producer responsibility, and governance of EPR systems.
Journal of Industrial Ecology
CIE is home to a highly regarded international journal. Published by Wiley-Blackwell and owned by Yale University, the Journal of Industrial Ecology is a peer-reviewed, multi-disciplinary bimonthly on industry and the environment that is aimed at both researchers and practitioners in academe, industry, government, and advocacy organizations. It is indexed in Science Citation Index Expanded (ISI), and it is the official journal of the International Society for Industrial Ecology. See http://cie.research.yale.edu/about/journal-industrial-ecology.
Industrial Environmental Management Program
The Industrial Environmental Management (IEM) program at Yale aims to equip students with an integrated set of skills with which to tackle the complex, multifaceted environmental problems facing industrial and corporate managers. Within the master's program, IEM students take foundations courses in natural science, social science, and quantitative methods, followed by courses in environmental policy and management. The core intellectual framework for IEM is the systems science of industrial ecology, which examines materials, water, and energy in a common framework. Students can pursue specialization and certification through the M.E.M. program in Industrial Ecology and Green Design as of 2015.
An active Industrial Environmental Management and Energy Student Interest Group sponsors field trips to industrial sites, on-campus talks by visiting managers, and symposia on current topics of interest. In addition, each year the IEM Lecture Series hosts speakers from industry who give presentations and meet with students.
Program on Solid Waste Policy
The program has two principal goals: (1) to inform contemporary policy discussions about solid waste and materials management by applying the methods and findings of social and environmental science and industrial ecology; and (2) to develop workable policy solutions that address the impediments to safe, cost-effective solid waste management and the complexities of comprehensive materials and life-cycle management.
Hixon Center for Urban Ecology
The Hixon Center for Urban Ecology provides an interdisciplinary forum for scholars and practitioners to work collaboratively on integrated research, teaching, and outreach to improve our understanding and management of urban environmental resources within the United States and around the globe.
The ecological health and integrity of urban ecosystems have a profound impact on urban economic productivity and quality of life. Pioneering research, new theoretical understanding, and innovative practice will be required to provide the knowledge and tools necessary to foster healthy natural systems essential for the future well-being of the modern city. This need has never been greater than today, when a majority of the world's population either resides in or is rapidly migrating to urban areas.
To accomplish its mission, the center builds upon and strengthens the work of several programs at the School, including the Urban Resources Initiative and the Urban Watershed Program.
The Hixon Center has a strong focus on collaboration within the School, across the University, and beyond. The center sponsors lectures as a means to disseminate ideas and information concerning the critical issues confronting urban ecosystems and related research.
The Hixon Center also supports Yale faculty initiatives focused on building models of stormwater management to optimize sustainability and resilience, and initiatives that build from observational to experimental research around vegetation, urban green spaces, and people. In addition, the center supports student fellowships based upon their research proposal's connection to current Hixon Center research, the outreach potential of that research, and its relevance to the continued study of urban ecology. The center will continue to build the urban environmental focus at Yale while strengthening the School's urban dimension, creating new models and approaches for addressing urban environmental changes.
Yale Program on Strategies for the Future of Conservation
The purpose of the Yale Program on Strategies for the Future of Conservation is to support the efforts of the Maine Coast Heritage Trust, the Land Trust Alliance, and similar private organizations to develop and apply new, innovative strategies for land conservation by linking the convening, research, and teaching activities at the Yale School of Forestry & Environmental Studies ever more closely to the needs of the land conservation community.
Established by a gift from Forrest Berkley and Marcie Tyre, the program has two parts:
- • Sponsoring student internships and research projects (through the Berkley Conservation Scholars program), to bring the passion, experience, and creativity of Yale graduate students to bear on these issues; and
- • Convening workshops and other conversations across sectors and perspectives in the search for new approaches to expanding the resources applied to land conservation in the United States.
Berkley Conservation Scholars are students of high potential who receive funding for their research and professional experiences at the cutting edge of land conservation. Support is available during both the school year and the summer, creating a virtual "R&D Department" for the U.S. land conservation community. Berkley Conservation Scholars play a critical role in helping to bring together practitioners and academics in the search for new conservation tools.
The Program on Strategies for the Future of Conservation is a major extension of F&ES's continuing efforts to enhance the effectiveness of land conservation. Working with an advisory group of land conservation leaders, the program hosts workshops, training programs, and other activities around the themes of engaging new communities in conservation; expanding the conservation toolkit; and ensuring the permanence of conservation gains.
Urban Resources Initiative
The Urban Resources Initiative (URI) is a not-for-profit/university partnership dedicated to community participation in urban ecosystem management. A substantial body of learning suggests that sustainable urban ecosystem management depends on the meaningful participation of local residents. Those who know local conditions and whose daily actions influence the health and quality of urban ecosystems must play a central role in designing and implementing rehabilitation strategies. Sustainable natural resource management and conservation cannot be achieved by technical, scientific solutions alone. Conservation efforts, especially in urban areas where people represent a significant element of the ecosystem, must emphasize social revitalization alongside environmental restoration.
Yale's URI program draws on these essential elements to facilitate community participation in urban ecosystem management. "Community" is defined quite broadly: it includes the group of neighborhood leaders with whom interns work to restore abandoned lands near their homes. Community is a group of teens who are learning how to assess the tree canopy of their city. Community is the staff and leadership of city agencies who have the responsibility and resources to become the environmental stewards of their city. URI's approach responds to and engages all of these communities.
URI offers a number of clinical learning opportunities that allow F&ES students to gain real-world practice in their field. Listening to local concerns and developing environmental programs in cooperation with schools, neighborhood groups, and city agencies are the cornerstones of our work. Through these programs F&ES students can apply theory learned in the classroom with supervised clinical training to enrich their academic work while making a real contribution to the New Haven community. These programs include the Community Greenspace program, Green Skills, environmental education/job training program, research opportunities, and training in urban forestry practices.
Community Greenspace Each summer F&ES students work as community foresters as part of the Community Greenspace program, a citywide initiative to revitalize New Haven's neighborhoods by restoring vacant lots, planting trees along streets and in parks, remediating lead from soil in front yards, and building community. Each intern works with community groups to develop restoration goals and to design an implementation strategy for the summer. The interns help neighbors conduct an inventory of existing trees, select and prepare sites for new plantings, and plant perennials, shrubs, and trees.
The Greenspace program is an opportunity for Yale students to learn urban forestry practices. Neighbors initiate the process by identifying their environmental priorities in their community. URI looks to the local experts—the people who live in inner-city neighborhoods—as partners in defining and then assessing, designing, implementing, and sustaining urban restoration sites.
Environmental education Since 1991 URI education interns have taught hands-on environmental education programs to New Haven public school students. For many years, URI staff and interns worked directly within the New Haven school system, teaching thousands of elementary school students about environmental stewardship through the exploration of the city's open spaces. During the 2009–2010 academic year, the City of New Haven officially incorporated the pond and rivers units from URI's Open Spaces as Learning Places curriculum into the district's science curriculum. Now, students in every sixth-grade classroom have the opportunity to learn about watersheds as they canoe New Haven's rivers and explore local ponds.
URI's newest environmental education program, GreenSkills, creates opportunities for teens to learn about New Haven's tree canopy and to gain practical job skills. Launched in 2007, our GreenSkills program creates an opportunity to address a critical predicament—a growing deficit in New Haven's street tree canopy that can be countered by a career development program bringing together Yale and high school interns. In 2010 the GreenSkills program was expanded to include adults recently released from incarceration, as well as those recovering from drug addiction. Our goals are to improve New Haven's street tree canopy by engaging vulnerable adults and urban high school students in the planting effort, thereby providing them with job skills and mentoring opportunities in environmental careers, and to foster a sense of environmental stewardship.
Research URI activities provide valuable research opportunities in community organizing and development, urban forestry management, environmental education and monitoring, and evaluation of community-managed ecosystems. Some examples of student research activities are a community survey to determine human health impacts of vacant lands; measurement of biological communities found in Greenspace sites and abandoned lots; and measurement of how children's behavior at play is affected by the design of schoolyards. URI and partners at the U.S.D.A. Forest Service, and the University of Vermont Spatial Analysis Laboratory have carried out a satellite imagery analysis of New Haven's tree canopy cover. This analysis served as a basis for the City of New Haven's Mayor launching an aggressive tree-planting campaign. Most recently, student-led research is studying how community group dynamics affect urban street-tree survival.
Urban Watershed Program
The Urban Watershed Program promotes faculty and student research on the unique relationships, impacts, and demands of watersheds in urban areas.
Watersheds in urban areas encounter unique stresses, while sharing common characteristics and following natural laws of all water systems. Urban watersheds are often polluted, heavily engineered, and little understood by nearby residents. Stream courses are often transferred to pipes running underground. Population density exacerbates stresses on waterways.
As cities emerge from a period when they ignored their rivers and harbors, new relationships are being developed with adjacent waterways. Past practices that marginalized waterscapes from the urban environment are being reevaluated. Now, with more attention to urban environmental quality, there is a greater understanding of the vital role waterways play as sources of open space, transportation, recreation, and habitat.
The Urban Watershed initiative currently has two major activities. One is a study of an urban ecosystem restoration project situated in an urban park. For nearly a century, flow in the West River, on the New Haven–West Haven border, has been regulated by tide gates that allow the outward flow of fresh water, but restrict flushing by seawater. These restrictions are being replaced by self-regulating tide gates, which close only in the rare event of potentially hazardous storm surges. As a result, the current degraded tidal freshwater marsh will evolve into a healthier salt marsh, the ecosystem type that existed there in the past. This restoration is being monitored, using a nearby, gated marsh that will not be restored. Monitored parameters are water quality, hydrology, vegetation, fish populations, bird communities, and the attitudes, values, and recreational and stewardship behaviors of people who use the park. This before-after-control-impact (BACI) experiment is almost unprecedented at this scale. Real-time data can be viewed at www.ysieconet.com/public/WebUI/Default.aspx?hidCustomerID=205.
The second project involves experiments on flood-control structures being built at a housing development in Bridgeport. A decades-old residential area near the harbor has experienced chronic flooding because of poor drainage. Working with the homeowners' association, the city, and the state, Professor Alexander Felson is comparing the effectiveness of a range of structural measures designed to channel and treat the polluted runoff.
Tropical Resources Institute
The mission of the Tropical Resources Institute (TRI) is to support interdisciplinary student research on the most complex challenges confronting the conservation and management of tropical environments worldwide. TRI was created in 1983 to strengthen the School's involvement in the study and management of tropical resources. The institute recognizes that the problems surrounding the conservation and management of tropical resources are rapidly increasing in complexity, while demands on those resources continue to grow. Emerging structures of global environmental governance and local conflicts over land use require new strategies and leaders able to function across diversity of disciplines and sectors, and at multiple scales. TRI seeks to train students to be leaders in this new era, equipping them with the resources and tools this new generation will require to equitably address the challenges ahead.
TRI serves as the nexus within F&ES through which students conduct interdisciplinary research and outreach activities throughout the tropics. Within the broader Yale community, TRI serves as a clearinghouse for research and educational activities pertaining to tropical countries, societies, and environments.
TRI is run by a director, student program assistants, and a faculty steering committee. Its directorship and its student grant program are supported by its own endowments.
Research TRI administers the TRI Fellowship, an endowed fellowship program that supports several dozen master's and doctoral students conducting natural and social science research in the tropics each year. Following the mission of TRI, these research projects are typically interdisciplinary and problem-oriented and cover a wide range of issues concerning the management and conservation of tropical resources. TRI also administers a small grants program focused on Sri Lanka. More information on both programs can be found on the Web site: http://environment.yale.edu/tri.
Education Throughout the academic year, TRI sponsors workshops, discussions, and speakers that focus on timely conservation and development issues in the global tropics.
TRI provides mentoring and training to graduate students in research design, proposal writing, and field methods; after research, it helps them develop articles for Tropical Resources, TRI's annual journal of student research.
Outreach TRI supports partnerships with international organizations in many tropical regions in order to create innovative research opportunities for F&ES students. TRI works to build networks among scholars and international institutions to facilitate research and the dissemination of knowledge on tropical resource issues. TRI distributes its annual Bulletin to an international list of practitioners and academics, and it hosts a Web site, http://environment.yale.edu/tri.
Publications TRI publishes Tropical Resources: The Bulletin of the Tropical Resources Institute, an annual journal of student research funded by grants from TRI. This publication is disseminated both internationally and domestically to a list that includes practitioners, academics, and institutions that focus on tropical issues; it can also be read online at http://environment.yale.edu/tri/publications. The Bulletin typically contains articles by a dozen or more students based on a wide range of field research experiences.
Forum on Religion and Ecology at Yale
The Forum on Religion and Ecology at Yale is the largest international multireligious project of its kind. With its conferences, publications, and Web site (http://fore.research.yale.edu), it is engaged in exploring religious worldviews, texts, and ethics in order to broaden understanding of the complex nature of current environmental concerns. The forum recognizes that religions need to be in dialogue with other disciplines (e.g., science, economics, and policy) in seeking comprehensive solutions to both global and local environmental problems. The cofounders and codirectors of the forum and the series editors for the World Religions and Ecology series are John Grim and Mary Evelyn Tucker.
The forum arose from a series of ten conferences on the world's religions and ecology held at Harvard from 1996 to 1998, which resulted in ten volumes distributed by Harvard University Press. Several of these volumes have been translated into other languages, including Chinese.
One of the principal objectives of the Forum on Religion and Ecology was to help create a new field of study that will assist environmental policy. Since its creation, the forum has played an active role in promoting the study of religion and ecology as an emerging field of study and a force for transformation. Courses are now taught at colleges and high schools across North America and in some universities in Europe. Canada, Australia, and Europe now have their own forums on religion and ecology. Moreover, a new force of religious environmentalism is growing in churches, synagogues, temples, and mosques around the world. Now every major religion has statements on the importance of ecological protection, and hundreds of grassroots projects have emerged. The Forum on Religion and Ecology has played an active role in these developments. The work of the forum includes:
Joint master's degree program at Yale The Yale School of Forestry & Environmental Studies (F&ES) and Yale Divinity School (YDS) offer a joint master's degree program in religion and ecology—the first of its kind in North America. It is aimed at students who wish to integrate the study of environmental issues and religious communities in their professional careers and at those who wish to study the cultural and ethical dimensions of environmental problems. The joint degree is supported by co-appointed faculty and by the forum.
This degree program provides an opportunity to study in two independent schools at Yale University, each with its own integrity. Students work toward both a Master of Environmental Management (M.E.M.) degree at F&ES and either a Master of Arts in Religion (M.A.R.) or Master of Divinity (M.Div.) degree at YDS. Within these schools, they are encouraged to take courses in environmental ethics and in religion and ecology. Students have the opportunity to work with faculty in both schools, as well as with a number of co-appointed faculty members.
Publications The forum has helped to create a new field of research and teaching in religion and ecology that has implications for environmental policy.
- • The forum, with its scholarly network, published the ten-volume World Religions and Ecology series from Harvard.
- • In 2014 the forum published the book Ecology and Religion, by John Grim and Mary Evelyn Tucker, in an F&ES series from Island Press.
- • The forum has supported the first journal in the field, Worldviews: Global Religions, Culture, and Ecology.
- • It produced a Daedalus volume, Religion and Ecology: Can the Climate Change?, which was the first discussion of world religions and the ethics of climate change.
- • The forum's founders have also served as editors for the twenty-volume Ecology and Justice series from Orbis Books.
- • The encyclopedia The Spirit of Sustainability (Berkshire Publishers, 2009), edited by Willis Jenkins of the University of Virginia and Whitney Bauman of Florida International University, was also a project of the forum.
- • Tucker and Grim have also edited a number of volumes by the late cultural historian Thomas Berry: The Sacred Universe (Columbia University Press, 2009), The Christian Future and the Fate of Earth (Orbis Books, 2009), Evening Thoughts (Sierra Club Books, 2006), and The Great Work (Random House, 1999).
Conferences The forum has organized many conferences, including "Renewing Hope: Pathways of Grassroots Religious Environmentalism" (F&ES and YDS, 2007), the Forum on Religion and Ecology's 10th Anniversary Symposium (Yale Club of New York, 2008), and the Thomas Berry Memorial (Cathedral of St. John the Divine, New York, 2009). The forum cosponsored the conference "Environmental Dis/locations: Environmental Justice and Climate Change" (F&ES & YDS, 2010) and organized an interdisciplinary conference for the premiere of the film Journey of the Universe at F&ES (2011). It has also assisted in organizing the Thomas Berry Award and Lecture since 1998. The forum organized with TERI University an interdisciplinary workshop focused on the Yamuna River and held in Delhi and Vrindavan in north India (2011). In 2012 the forum organized a conference between F&ES and YDS titled "Religion and Environmental Stewardship."
In addition, the forum participates in interdisciplinary conferences worldwide, including conferences with the United Nations Environment Programme (UNEP); United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO); the International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN); the Dialogue of Civilizations; the Earth Dialogues led by Gorbachev; the Earth Charter; the Religion, Science, and the Environment Symposia, led by the Greek Orthodox Patriarch, Bartholomew; and the Parliament of World Religions.
Web site The forum's Web site is a world-class international site for research, education, engagement, and outreach in the field of religion and ecology. It contains detailed information on the world's religions and their ecological contributions; resources that address environmental issues related to ethics, economics, policy, and ecological sciences; syllabi and lists of educational videos and CD-ROMs; links to programs and institutions related to environmental education; and a variety of other resources for educators. The site provides current information on news, publications, and events related to world religions and ecology. This is available in a monthly online newsletter that is distributed to some 12,000 people. See http://fore.research.yale.edu.
Films The forum was a principal adviser for the film Renewal: Inspiring Stories from America's Religious Environmental Movement (2007), and it collaborated with evolutionary philosopher Brian Swimme on the Emmy Award-winning film Journey of the Universe (2011), which was broadcast on PBS. The latter project includes a book published by Yale University Press, a twenty-part DVD series of interviews, curricular materials, and a Web site, www.journeyoftheuniverse.org.
The Environmental Leadership and Training Initiative
In April 2006 the Environmental Leadership and Training Initiative (ELTI)—http://environment.yale.edu/elti—was launched, thanks to a generous grant from the Arcadia Fund. For the execution of the project, F&ES has partnered with the Smithsonian Tropical Research Institute (STRI) in Panama and the National University of Singapore (NUS). ELTI's mission is to enhance environmental management and leadership capacity in the tropics by offering cutting-edge learning and networking opportunities aimed at improving efforts to conserve and restore tropical forests in human-modified landscapes. Through complementary, applied, action-oriented training and leadership-building activities, ELTI aims to promote and affect on-the-ground conservation and restoration efforts.
ELTI was created to strengthen the conservation and restoration of tropical forests in Asia and the Neotropics by offering field-based and online training courses, as well as workshops, conferences, and symposia, to policy makers, natural resource practitioners, community members, and other key actors in these regions. Focus countries with long-term field-based training and research programs include Brazil, Colombia, Indonesia, Panama, and the Philippines. The goal is to provide participants with the knowledge, tools, skills, and networking opportunities to advance the conservation and restoration of forests and biodiversity. Alumni of ELTI's training events also are able to participate in ELTI's Leadership Program, which provides opportunities for further professional and personal development, as well as technical and logistical support to implement projects designed as a result of their participation in ELTI's training events. ELTI involves faculty, staff, and students from F&ES and research scientists from STRI in various aspects of the program, as well as scientists, practitioners, and land managers in the countries where ELTI works.
The Global Institute of Sustainable Forestry
Since its founding in 1900, the Yale School of Forestry & Environmental Studies has been in the forefront in developing a science-based approach to forest management and in training leaders to face their generation's challenges to sustaining forests.
The School's Global Institute of Sustainable Forestry continues this tradition in its mission to integrate and strengthen the School's forestry research, education, and outreach to address the needs of the twenty-first century and a globalized environment. The Global Institute fosters leadership through dialogue and innovative programs, creates and tests new tools and methods, and conducts research to support sustainable forest management worldwide.
Forestry at Yale is broadly defined to include all aspects of forest management and conservation. The Global Institute works primarily through faculty-led programs and partnerships with other Yale centers and forestry institutions in the United States and abroad. Students participate as research assistants, interns, and School Forests field crew; are encouraged to take on high levels of leadership in planning activities and events; and regularly contribute to published documents that emerge from program activities.
The Global Institute coordinates the School's participation in regional, national, and international forestry events such as the Society of American Foresters' and IUFRO (International Union of Forest Research Organizations) Conferences and the World Forestry Congresses and coordinates activities with other institutions throughout the world.
Research Through its research programs, the Global Institute brings world-class scholarship to bear on the challenges facing the world's forests. Programs represent the diverse interests and expertise of the F&ES faculty, who conduct applied research in both ecological and social dimensions of forests and forestry.
Yale Forest Forum (YFF) The Yale Forest Forum (YFF) serves as the dialogue and convening function of the Global Institute of Sustainable Forestry. YFF was established in 1994 by a diverse group of leaders in forestry to focus national attention on broader public involvement in forest policy and management in the United States. In an attempt to articulate and communicate a common vision of forest management to diverse stakeholders, the first initiative of YFF was to convene the Seventh American Forest Congress (SAFC). After a series of local roundtables, the SAFC culminated in a 1,500-person citizens' congress in Washington, D.C. The principles discussed during the congress remain part of YFF's core philosophy of how forest policy discussions should take place: "collaboratively, based on the widest possible involvement of stakeholders."
YFF's activities are centered on bringing individuals together for open public dialogues to share experiences, explore emerging issues, and debate varying opinions constructively. In that light YFF sponsors many issues forums and leadership seminars throughout the academic year. YFF forums and seminars not only focus on emerging issues in forest management, they also give students exposure to leaders in the NGO, industry, landowner, and government sectors in forest conservation and sustainable forestry. They provide an opportunity for diverse parties to meet and exchange ideas and have led to ongoing dialogue concerning forestry problems and solutions. YFF publishes the YFF Review to disseminate to a wide audience the outcomes and lessons learned from its work.
Midcareer short courses The Global Institute offers short courses that bring the latest thinking on sustainable forestry management to working professionals. Courses range from executive level for management professionals to field-based courses for forestry practitioners.
Global Forest Atlas The Global Forest Atlas is a Web site that brings together issues facing forests in the twenty-first century: forest management, deforestation, land use, governance, and conservation. Launched in 2014, the Global Forest Atlas highlights the two largest tropical forest regions of the world, the Amazon basin and the Congo basin. Introducing forest issues in these regions, the forest atlas describes the scientific foundation, trends, and breaking news and research in the region, including research and advocacy of Yale F&ES researchers, students, and graduates. The Global Forest Atlas plans to expand coverage of forest issues to both the temperate and the boreal forest regions of the world.
Governance, Environment, and Markets Initiative
The Governance, Environment, and Markets (GEM) Initiative is an action-oriented network of scholars and practitioners who collaborate on the study, development, and implementation of effective, durable, and equitable solutions to complex problems in environmental policy and governance. The GEM Initiative provides Yale students an opportunity to work as researchers and assist in the coordination and delivery of worldwide activities that address three cross-cutting themes: the management of complex governance arrangements; the fostering of learning among multiple stakeholders; and the determinants of effective, durable policy pathways.
Embracing a future of multiparty collaboration, GEM's research, teaching, and outreach activities bridge scholarship and practice and encourage long-term and collaborative approaches to some of the most important questions facing the planet, including forest policy and governance, climate policy, and the role of private governance. GEM identifies and promotes viable pathways for government officials, the private sector, environmental groups, and other stakeholders to effect positive change in environmental governance.
The GEM Initiative accomplishes this objective through a "governing for global environmental problems" approach in which innovative governance/policy proposals are assessed by their ability to develop enduring solutions to global environmental challenges. In order to uncover new opportunities, we focus on understanding and disseminating knowledge about:
- • Interactions among government and market mechanisms that produce innovative, effective, and efficient results that are not achieved through single interventions or institutions;
- • The evolution of policies and institutions that foster durable results.
Under the faculty direction of Professor Benjamin Cashore, GEM is located on the fourth floor of Sage Hall and focuses on four key themes:
Forest Policy and Governance The mission of the Yale Program on Forest Policy and Governance is to foster innovations in sustainable forestry management and policy. It is a core program within the Global Institute of Sustainable Forestry at F&ES. The program focuses on three interrelated efforts: (1) research designed to understand the development of state and non-state forest policies and their impacts on sustainable forestry; (2) teaching and training on forest governance and policy; and (3) outreach activities to the broader forestry community. The program hosts visiting speakers at Yale and participates in key certification and sustainable forest-policy conferences globally.
Private Authority and Environmental Governance This program focuses on the emergence and evolution of "non-state, market-driven" global governance, particularly certification systems. The use of these systems to address environmental problems has the potential to shift the prevailing regulatory paradigm. Our work explores under what circumstances market mechanisms, such as certification systems, effectively address problems where governments have failed. We focus on several sectors, including timber legality verification and forest certification, fisheries and the ornamental fish trade, organic agriculture, climate mitigation, and electronic waste recycling.
Climate Policy and Governance GEM's substantive focus on climate departs from existing international relations research, which focuses primarily on why states do or do not cooperate in exploring policy interventions outside of this model. GEM applies key mechanisms to assess climate in three ways: (1) How climate, as the leading case of a "super wicked problem," might benefit from attention to "path-dependency" policy analysis; (2) How symbiotic interaction among intergovernmental approaches, such as the CDM mechanisms, might interact with non-state, market-driven global governance, such as the CDM gold standard certification, to produce authoritative approaches in ways that neither intervention by itself could; and (3) How the intersection of climate and forests might shape the definition of problems and solutions unimaginable a generation earlier.
Law, Rights, and Environmental Governance Numerous jurisdictions have developed new procedural and substantive environmental rights and have sought to provide enhanced access to decision making, information, and justice in environmental matters. Private rights also continue to play an important role in how environmental issues and problems are addressed in different jurisdictions. These rights raise critical issues about the role of legal norms in different systems, modes, and levels of environmental governance.
GEM's Program on Law, Rights, and Environmental Governance seeks to understand and explain the implications of law and rights for efforts to improve environmental governance at the local, national, and international levels. The program aims to generate innovative interdisciplinary knowledge that assesses the emergence, spread, and effectiveness of rights norms across political, institutional, and social contexts, processes, and actors. It also seeks to share this analytical research with practitioners and policymakers working at the intersection of law, rights, and environmental governance.
The Forests Dialogue
The Forests Dialogue (TFD) was created in 1998 to provide international leaders in the forest sector with an ongoing, multi-stakeholder dialogue (MSD) platform and process focused on developing mutual trust, a shared understanding, and collaborative solutions to challenges in achieving sustainable forest management and forest conservation around the world. TFD is an autonomous, unincorporated organization hosted by Yale University and with a Secretariat based at F&ES since 2000.
The goal of TFD is to reduce conflict among stakeholders over the use and protection of vital forest resources. Over the past sixteen years, TFD has brought together more than 2,500 diverse leaders to work through sixteen key compelling forest issues. Current TFD initiatives include: Understanding Deforestation-Free (UDF) commitments, Intensively Managed Planted Forests II (IMPF2), and Land Use Dialogues (LUD). TFD uses the MSD model to progress from building trust among participants to achieving substantive, tangible outcomes so that participants are committed to advocate for and work to implement those consensus-based outcomes.
TFD is governed by a steering committee composed of a diverse group of individuals representing key stakeholder perspectives from around the world. TFD hires F&ES students as program associates each term to work with the Secretariat and steering committee members. Duties include background research, Secretariat support, dialogue planning, and implementation.
Program on Forest Physiology and Biotechnology
The Program on Forest Physiology and Biotechnology (PFPB), under the leadership of Professor Graeme Berlyn, focuses primarily on the relationships of physiology, morphology, ecology, and genetics of forest plants to silviculture, sustainable forestry, forest carbon, and climate change. The main objectives of the biotechnology initiative are to analyze ecosystem impacts of biotechnology from biological, technical, and cultural perspectives; to evaluate strategies to minimize possible deleterious effects in these several dimensions; and to organize forums for discussion of the role of genetic techniques in forest health and forest tree improvement in ways that do not represent biological hazard to the future forests of the world. The use of genetically modified trees for restoration, increased forest productivity, disease resistance, carbon sequestration, and removal of pollutants are also prime considerations.
Current work involves developing organic biostimulants for trees and other plants using stress vitamins, amino acids, and antioxidants, which inhibit pathogenesis and increase the natural resistance of the plant using chemical signaling to stimulate the production of protective compounds and protective tissues. Efforts are under way to improve the antioxidant systems (superoxide dismutase, ascorbic acid, glutathione, nitric oxide) in tree leaves in order to alleviate stress and carbon sequestration. Elevational and latitudinal gradients are used as natural experiments to study the effects of stress, such as climate change, on forest growth using leaf and stem functional traits.
The program is located in Marsh Hall, but the program's research involves many arctic, alpine, boreal, temperate, and tropical biomes. There are numerous opportunities for students to be involved with the research.
Program on Landscape Management
Ecosystems can be defined at a variety of scales—a stand, a landscape, a region, a continent. At all scales, they are dynamic, constantly changing from one condition to another. Ecosystems contain forests and other resources that interact both competitively and synergistically. Managing ecosystems requires an understanding and appreciation of the biological, social, and economic dynamics of ecosystems.
Experience in forest management has shown that managing at small scales is difficult, because many different values need to be provided. Consequently, diverse conditions need to be coordinated across the landscape. This is the basis of the landscape approach to forest and other resource management.
The Program on Landscape Management works cooperatively with other organizations throughout the world. It develops the scientific basis, concepts, and tools needed to help people provide a wide range of resource values, including commodities, wildlife habitat, fire safety, employment, and carbon sequestration.
The program applies local knowledge, science, and technical tools to achieve practical results. Recent and ongoing projects include developing a sustained harvest level for Connecticut state forests; mitigating the fire danger in the irradiated forests around the Chernobyl nuclear reactor, Ukraine; developing ways to increase habitats for the Amur (Siberian) tiger in northeastern China; developing a decision tool for conversion between agriculture and forest land in Mississippi; developing land stewardship practices in the High Plains of Wyoming; examining the potential of expanded wood use to substitute for steel and brick construction, and thus reduce greenhouse gas emissions and fossil fuel consumption; and developing computer software (see http://landscapemanagementsystem.org).
The Program on Landscape Management is housed in Greeley Laboratory. Students have a range of opportunities to work with the program, from technical development of the modeling software to field data collection and synthesis.
Sustaining Family Forests Initiative
The Sustaining Family Forests Initiative (SFFI) is a collaboration among the School of Forestry & Environmental Studies, the U.S. Forest Service, and the Center for Nonprofit Strategies, aimed at gaining and disseminating comprehensive knowledge about family forest owners throughout the United States. SFFI conducts research on U.S. family forest owners and has developed a practical set of tools to help conservation and forestry professionals reach these landowners with effective stewardship messages and to develop programs that serve the needs and values of the landowners. The basis of SFFI's work is to apply a social marketing approach—the use of commercial marketing techniques to affect positive social change—as a promising means by which to influence family forest owners to take steps to conserve and sustainably manage their land. Since 2010 SFFI has trained more than five hundred natural resource professionals in landowner outreach. These professionals work in eighteen states and represent more than two hundred organizations, primarily state forestry agencies and their conservation and stewardship partners. More information about SFFI is available at http://sffi.yale.edu.
Yale School Forests
The Yale School of Forestry & Environmental Studies owns and manages 10,900 acres of forestland in Connecticut, New Hampshire, and Vermont. Maintained as working forests deriving income from timber and other products, the Yale School Forests provide educational, research, and professional opportunities for the students and faculty of the School; they are used as a laboratory for teaching, management, and research.
The School of Forestry & Environmental Studies is a multidisciplinary learning center with tremendous resources, both within and outside the School. The School is engaged in partnerships that range from alliances with other Yale programs and schools to formal agreements with many external organizations and universities.

Yale Peabody Museum of Natural History
The Yale Peabody Museum of Natural History, founded in 1866, contains one of the great scientific collections in North America. Numbering more than thirteen million objects and specimens, the collections are used for exhibition and for research by scholars throughout the world. Each year, an increasing number of specimens from the collection are available online at http://peabody.yale.edu.
The mission of the Peabody Museum is to advance understanding of Earth's history through geological, biological, and anthropological research, and by communicating the results of this research to the widest possible audience through publication, exhibition, and educational programs.
Fundamental to this mission is stewardship of the museum's collections, which provide a remarkable record of the history of Earth, its life, and its cultures. Conservation, augmentation, and use of these collections become increasingly urgent as modern threats to the diversity of life and culture continue to intensify.
The museum's collections are a major component of the research and teaching activities of the Peabody and Yale. The curators and staff are engaged in contributing new knowledge based on the museum's research materials. All collections are used in undergraduate and graduate teaching and research, as well as in public programs and exhibitions. The Yale Peabody Museum fills many important roles on the Yale University campus, particularly as it has expanded its role in the community and the region, thereby offering a "front door" to the University for the general public.
In 1995, a formal collaboration was established among the Peabody Museum, the Yale Institute for Biospheric Studies, and the School of Forestry & Environmental Studies. This environmental partnership recognizes the Peabody Museum as a resource and catalyst for interdisciplinary research on Earth's history and environment, and seeks to strengthen the intellectual ties between the museum and other groups with a shared interest in environmental research at Yale. The School of Forestry & Environmental Studies maintains a close association with the Peabody. Among other activities involving F&ES faculty, staff, and students, the Peabody Field Station in Guilford, Connecticut, is used collaboratively for research on coastal and estuarine systems.
Coastal Field Station A research facility is available to students and faculty of the School of Forestry & Environmental Studies at the Peabody Museum Field Station on Long Island Sound in Guilford. The station is a thirteen-mile drive east of Yale and provides centrally located access to one of the country's most important estuaries. The station includes a boat ramp, deep-water moorings, and a small boat. There is also a simple laboratory within the field station building, Beattie House. Nearby research lands available to F&ES students include an island (Horse Island), coastal pond (Guilford Pond), and salt marsh complex (the Richards Property). Along with the field station, these are all part of the Center for Field Ecology, sponsored by the Yale Institute for Biospheric Studies.
External Partnerships
The School of Forestry & Environmental Studies has partnership agreements with numerous local, national, and international organizations beyond the Yale campus. The following are a few examples of these arrangements.
National University of Singapore
The National University of Singapore is a top research university with a far-reaching faculty and a multinational student body. The university offers a Master of Science in Environmental Management that provides environmental management education for senior and mid-level managers in corporations, institutions, and government and nongovernmental organizations. This program is multidisciplinary, with the combined resources of seven of the university's faculties, and also draws on the expertise of established environmental agencies and institutions both locally and globally.
In 2001 the Yale School of Forestry & Environmental Studies entered into an official agreement with the National University of Singapore School of Design and Environment to share scientific, academic, and technical resources; exchange faculty and students; and cooperate in research, outreach, and conferences. There is an active faculty exchange and a joint research program examining industrial ecology and urban metabolism in Singapore.
New York Botanical Garden
The School of Forestry & Environmental Studies has enjoyed a reciprocal relationship with the Graduate Studies Program at the New York Botanical Garden for many years. Begun in 1896, the Botanical Garden program currently enrolls about a dozen students who are carrying out studies in systematic and economic botany and applied plant ecology at field sites around the world. The program's expertise spans the spectrum of both systematic and economic botany. It is operated in conjunction with several other academic institutions, including the Yale School of Forestry & Environmental Studies.
The resources of the New York Botanical Garden include one of the largest botanical libraries in the world, an herbarium and 10,000 species of living plants housed in several greenhouses, as well as an electron microscope, environmental chambers, and instrumentation for radiobiological, biochemical, anatomical, molecular, phytochemical, chemosystematic, numerical taxonomy, and vegetational studies. The School of Forestry & Environmental Studies offers a combined doctoral degree with the New York Botanical Garden, which is funded by the Lewis B. Cullman Fellowship. NYBG faculty teach courses at F&ES in tropical plant taxonomy, applied plant ecology, and ethnobotany.
The Energy and Resources Institute
The Energy and Resources Institute (TERI), a not-for-profit organization in New Delhi, India, was founded in 1974. Over the years, TERI has expanded from its initial purpose of documentation and information dissemination to become a dynamic and flexible organization with a global vision and a local focus. Thirty years ago, the institute initiated research projects in the fields of energy, environment, and sustainable development. Today, TERI is an internationally recognized center for research and outreach, and this reputation is rapidly being enhanced by the educational opportunities offered by TERI University.
The School of Forestry & Environmental Studies entered into an official agreement with TERI in 2001, whereby each organization agreed to support the other's faculty and student activities, thus expanding the resources of both learning institutions while fostering international relationships.
External Joint-Degree Programs
The Yale School of Forestry & Environmental Studies also has joint-degree agreements with the Pace University School of Law, the Vermont Law School, Tsinghua University School of Environment, and Universidad de los Andes. Further information on these programs is available through the Office of Admissions.

yummy breakfast food. very careful about cross contamination. great find in oc.
Lots of great GF options! Kitchen is not dedicated GF but staff was extra careful about cross contamination. We can't wait to go back!!
Found this place on the app and based on reviews tried it out. One woed... AMAZING! We have 3 GF people in our family of 5 and we were all impressed. great food, Friendly service and just a cure place to visit. we will be back :)
Superb! I never thought I'd go to a diner or cafe with my Celiac wife and child and feel so comfortable! We were greeted warmly and accommodated from start to finish. The food was OUTSTANDING in every way. It almost brought a tear to my eye as I sat there eating my eggs benedict, enjoying the kind of meal with my wife and son I thought we'd never be able to get. Those without Celiac or other medical dietary restrictions might not appreciate just how hard it is to relax in a restaurant and feel like a regular person. The folks at Arlene's get it. Thank You x1000!
Great place to eat GF. Food came out fast and was very tasty. Many options for GF. We will be going back again for sure.
Fantastic place, staff and menu. Huge GF menu with tons of options. If you are GF, you gotta eat here. Owner and her daughters are GF so they get it!!!
Lots of gf options for breakfast and lunch. A great experience.
Awesome place! Nice and accommodating. Pancakes were a decent size and tasty too. Will definitely go back again and try other gf options!
Great French toast!! Lots of GF options like muffins, pancakes and bread. Definitely would recommend.
Amazing breakfast sandwich! The bagels were great! Great service. Only thing I didn't like was the home fries.
Amazing gluten free menu! Incredible service and delicious food. Two thumbs up :)
First time eating out for breakfast since diagnosis!! Extensive gf menu. Was told there are separate prep areas including the grill and toaster. They use Udi's bread and do not butter or even cut it in the back. Delicious and fresh. I am a celiac.
Best gluten-free breakfast we've eaten in years!
Great gluten free menu. Good food, good prices...can't go wrong here!
Great GF menu with lots of breakfast choices... great GF french toast, good coffee, fast & friendly service, outdoor seating. Recommended.
The food is great! The gluten free menu is amazing! There are so many choices!
Went here for breakfast! Very good with a lot of options! Staff was very knowledgeable and understanding. Did not have any issues
We are local and have a 7 year old with celiac - we come here often. The breakfast and lunches are great!!
The crunchy french toast was awesome. The selection was extensive. We will definitely be back.
This is a very nice family home cooking type of restaurant. It's small and welcoming. I highly recommend Arlene's. We drove from AC for a good GF breakfast and that's what we got. We were happy to be handed a full GF menu with lots of options. We will definitely be going back to Arlene's the next time we are down the shore.
I highly recommend this restaurant! The menu is quite extensive with many GF choices. I had cinnamon raisin French toast with strawberries and it was truly outstanding. Arlene and Paul are very welcoming and sensitive to GF needs. I now have another spot that I have added to my "favorites" list! By-the-way, by husband is not GF and he enjoyed his Cinnamon Roll French toast immensely. We went back to have breakfast on our way out of town - omelets are terrific, too!
Small store front restrauant only open for breakfast and late lunch. Food was good and they had a good selection more for breakfast than lunch but the lunch tasted very good.

Seven men have been rescued off the coast of Raglan after
finding themselves stuck in rough water and rising winds.
The men were on board a 5.5m aluminium vessel without
sufficient communication, and were only rescued after a
chance sighting by a commercial fisherman as darkness fell on
Monday night.
Despite the men reportedly carrying lifejackets aboard, their
rescue has prompted the Coastguard to issue a warning about
going out to sea without efficient means to communicate and
unprepared for changing weather conditions.
"A local commercial fishing vessel was coming back from a
voyage, we believe, and it was them that located them and
contacted us," said Georgie Smith, spokeswoman for Coastguard
northern region.
"They took the vessel under tow, in through the bar and back
safely into the harbour, and our vessel Gallagher Rescue and
volunteers from Coastguard Raglan went out. They uplifted the
people from the vessel, took them to shore to an awaiting
ambulance just to check them all over and then went back and
assisted with the tow."
Ms Smith told Radio New Zealand the men were floating outside
Raglan Harbour, which is "quite notorious", especially in
adverse weather conditions.
The men became stuck shortly before dark as winds began
picking up with ex-cyclone June bearing down on New Zealand
on Monday night.
Boaties are advised to log a trip report with their local
Coastguard before going out to sea, and have two types of
waterproof communications on board, as well as ensuring that
everybody has a lifejacket.
Ms Smith said that given the weather conditions so far this
summer, "we've been really lucky".
"From about December 24 to January 19 we've gone to the help
of 408 incidents, which I guess in the end relates to
hundreds of people brought home to safety," she said.

The Walsh Jesuit football team could be looking at a No. 1 seed in Division II Region 5 when the Ohio High School Athletic Association announces the postseason pairings Sunday.
Projections analyst Joe Eitel says Walsh controls its own destiny with the top seed.
The Warriors (9-1) play host to Notre Dame-Cathedral Latin (5-4) on Friday night in the final regular season game.
"NDCL is a very skilled team," Walsh coach Gerry Rardin said. "They play fast on defense and have many different and effective looks on offense."
Rardin said the keys will be to prevent the big play and control their blitzing defense.
Rardin said several players have performed well for Walsh including quarterback Nick Wargo (Youngstown State commit), tailback Brock Jones and linemen Garrett Steinbeck, Trent Donald, Antoine Smith, DJ Aquilar and Dane O'Driscoll.
"We told team we must continue this week as all the previous, that our goal is to improve," Rardin said.

This vibration manifests itself at the rotor rotational frequency, and is currently controlled through the addition of blade root and tip weights and the bending of trim tabs. Application of Individual Blade Control (IBC) offers the promise of automatically sensing this once-per-revolution (1/rev) vibration and adjusting individual rotor blade properties to alleviate the source of vibration, thus providing an automatic tracking and balancing feature for suitably equipped rotor systems. The proposed effort represents an innovative combination of recent IBC experience, a refined analytical vibration predictive capability, and a novel accelerometer-based on-blade sensing scheme to realize a practical system for prorotype design development for Army use.

1)Assume you have a two stages low noise amplifier. The first stage closest to the input has a 10 dB gain and a 1 dB noise figure. The second stage has a 10 dB gain and a 5 dB noise figure. What is the overall noise figure for the amplifier and what is the equivalent noise temperature of the 2-stage amplifier Te?
2)If at the input of the 2-stage amplifier of the previous problem the signal to noise ratio is 6 dB and the source equivalent temperature is Ts=200K (so you can assume an input noise power of KTsB), what�s the signal to noise ratio at the output of the amplifier? Repeat the same problem for Ts=290K. Hint: the two answers are different, and the SNR is kept the same in both cases.
3)Assume you have a receiver with an overall noise figure of 23 dB and a bandwidth of 1 MHz. Assuming the minimum acceptable SNR at the output of the receiver is 6 dB, estimate the minimum detectable signal level in dBm at the receiver input.

In the sixth volume of manga visionary Osamu Tezuka's "Buddha," the devil Mara possesses the bandit Ananda, half-brother of Devadatta, in an effort to eliminate the Buddha. A ruthless killer who is impervious to physical harm, Ananda will retain the devil's favor only if he spurns his love interest.
When Ananda and his bandit buddy attack the Fire Shrine of the Brahmin brothers Kassapa, it is none other than the Awakened One who happens by. Buddha must confront his eternal enemy, Mara, before he can open the eyes of arrogant priests and hardened criminals.
About the Author
Regarded by many as the "God of Manga" Osamu Tezuka was born in 1928 in Toyonoka, in Osaka, Japan. A prolific author and artist, Tezuka is generally regarded as the single figure responsible for developing Japan's massive manga and anime industries. His cinematic art style and novelistic narratives have made his work as universally accessible and relevant now as when first published in Japan. A list of his well-known and universally loved work includes the classic JUNGLE EMPEROR LEO (also known as Kimba the White Lion), BLACK JACK, ADOLF, MIGHTY ATOM (known as ASTRO BOY in the U.S.) and METROPOLIS (recently made into a hit anime film). Tezuka continued creating comics until his death in 1989.
Praise For…
"Infused with humor and history, the epic of Siddhartha is perhaps Osamu Tezuka's crowning acheivement and illustrates why, without irony, Tezuka is referred to as 'The King of Japanese Comics'." - LA Weekly"Buddha is one of Tezuka's true masterpieces. We're lucky to have this excellent new edition in English." - Scott McCloud, author of Understanding Comics"In handsome volumes designed by Chip Kidd, the Vertical books present Tezuka at his best." - National Post
"Buddha is an engrossing tale. The armchair philosopher, the devout Buddhist, the casual manga fan - this book satisfies all with its tale of humanism through sequential art, and definitely earns its place on a bibliophile's bookshelf." -Anime Insider"This is one of the greatest acheivements of the comics medium, a masterpiece by one of the greats." -Artbomb.net"In Tezuka's world, the exquisite collapses into the goofy in a New York minute, the goofy into the melodramatic, the melodramatic into the brutal, and the brutal into the sincerely touching. The suprising result is a work wholly unique and downright fun." -Time Out NY"Tezuka's Buddha is a striking and memorable confluence of ancient wisdom and contemporary popular art." -Yoga Journal

B. F. Jenkins - #38296322
It has been brought to my attention that we both have a memorial for B. F. Jenkins; however you have him buried at Mission Garden. The picture that you have taken is at the Texico Cemetery. I also have him in the Texico Cemetery. The picture you have taken is much better than mine. I would appreciate it if you delete your memorial since the cemetery is wrong. Please let me hear from you.

Theresa, Thank you for the photo of the missing nameplate on my Grandmothers Grave (Nina Luckett). It was pre-paid to have that plate completed and put on the headmarker, and it shows how incredibly insensitive the Cemetery Association is in Clovis.

OKLAHOMA CITY (AP) - Relatives of an Oklahoma teenager missing in Ecuador are making long-term plans to stay in the country as the search continues.
August Reiger disappeared June 16 while hiking with his family in the resort town of Banos. Officials tell The Oklahoman that the case is being treated as a kidnapping, but they've received no ransom demands.
Reiger had recently graduated as a valedictorian at Classen School of Advanced Studies.
His aunt, Christi Reiger, says August's mother will likely return to Oklahoma next month so her younger son can begin school. Christi Reiger says August's father will stay in Ecuador as the search continues.
Officials say an Ecuadorean anti-kidnapping team is now conducting a massive search of Amazonian jungle areas in the country but has turned up no sign of August.

Medium information from Harmonic Flow and Jet Quenching in Relativistic Heavy Ion Collisions
, S. Pal,
Tata Institute of Fundamental Research, Mumbai, India
− Heavy ion collisions at the Relativistic Heavy Ion Collider (RHIC) and recently at the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) have revealed a new state of matter comprising of strongly coupled quark-gluon plasma.
Primary evidence of this is provided by the observed suppression of high transverse momenta hadron spectra in central heavy ion collisions relative to both peripheral and nucleon-nucleon collision.
The recent anisotropic flow and suppression data for charged hadrons up to high p
(and small x) at LHC/CERN has provided interesting opportunities to constrain both the initial state and the final-state partonic medium formed in the collisions.
We have developed a multiphase transport (AMPT) model whose initial conditions are obtained from the recently updated HIJING 2.0 model that allows to study collisions over a wide energy range.
Hadron production within the updated AMPT model at RHIC/BNL and in particular at LHC/CERN are studied.
The centrality dependence of charged hadron multiplicity dN
/dy at midrapidity was found quite sensitive to the largely uncertain gluon shadowing parameter s
that determines the nuclear modification of the gluon distribution.
We find final-state parton scatterings reduce considerably hadron yield at midrapidity and enforces a smaller gluon shadowing so as to be consistent with dN
/dy data at LHC.
With the parton shadowing so constrained, we report on the AMPT prediction of anisotropic flow coefficients: the elliptic v
, triangular v
, and quadrangular v
, and mixed harmonics which are in reasonable agreement with that measured at RHIC and LHC energies. Further, charged hadron and neutral pion production over a large p
are investigated in AMPT.
Relative to nucleon-nucleon collisions, the particle yield in central heavy ion collisions is suppressed due to parton energy loss which, in turn, was found quite sensitive to parton scattering cross section.
While the model calculations of the magnitude and pattern of suppression are consistent with measurements in Au+Au collisions at 0.2 TeV at RHIC, the suppression is however distinctly overpredicted in Pb+Pb collisions at the LHC energy of 2.76 TeV.
The implications and new challenges to understand the unexpectedly transparent strongly coupled QGP formed at LHC will be presented.
