Masters Projects: Where and How We Work
Field Naturalists and Ecological Planners get outside and find answers. Students bring their skills in science, fieldwork, communications and problem solving to bear on a genuine field project for a sponsoring organization. This constitutes our program's Masters requirement.
Projects take FNEPs far afield: to Puerto Rico to create coummunity-wide ecological assessment, to the High Sierra to track the tree-killing White Pine Blister Rust, to Maine to discover and map remote forests in Baxter State Park, or here in Vermont to develop innovative strategies for controlling invasive plant species. Students work in collaboration with a sponsoring conservation organization – The Nature Conservancy, the National Park Service, a state agency or a municipal parks department, for example.
The Masters product includes a professional report for the sponsoring organization, written academic reflections, and a journal publication or article in the popular mass media.
Here's an update on FNEP masters project work from the 2015 field season:
An Island Narrative
Ben Lemmond spent his summer in a foggy island ghost town in Maine. Hurricane Island, one of the last stops in Penobscot bay before open ocean — head East and you'll hit Portugal — was abandoned suddenly in 1914 by the town of 400-odd quarry workers who cut away the granite remains of an ancient unexploded volcano. You can still find dishes, wine bottles, dolls, shoe leather, and ice skates matted in the roots of toppled spruce. Today, however, the island is home to the Hurricane Island Center for Science and Leadership, a science education organization and NSF-funded research field station. Ben was there to do what Field Naturalists do best: gather clues on the terrestrial ecology and compile them into a natural history narrative.
What's in a Name?
The rolling hills and stunning vistas of New Haven, Vermont, might make this small town a haven, but it's definitely not new. So, what's in a name? For New Haven, more than 10,000 years of human habitation and millions of years of geologic and ecological history have molded the town's land and culture. In collaboration with the New Haven Conservation Commission, Emma Stuhl spent the summer gathering information and planning events to help New Haven residents more deeply understand and celebrate the place they call home. She mapped and explored those rolling hills, interviewed and read about the residents, and organized a community forum. This fall, Emma will share her findings as she works with the elementary school and facilitates a presentation series.
Modeling for Wildlife
Black bear, bobcat, fisher, and other wide-ranging species don't always tell us where they live and travel. Since habitat connectivity is an important feature of the landscape, Sam Talbot used sophisticated computer modeling to reveal potential wildlife corridors. His study focused on the region surrounding Lake George and southern Lake Champlain – an area rich in rolling forests, prime agricultural soil, and recreational opportunities. Given this landscape's value for both wildlife and humans, modeling habitat connectivity will guide future land conservation decisions that allow wildlife to move unencumbered by barriers, such as roads and high-density development.
Mapping (and Muck)
The worst part of Shelby Perry's project field work this summer was the day she sunk into the muck behind a beaver dam up to her thighs, and then sustained dozens of grass cuts up each arm while struggling to climb out as her boots slowly filled with foul smelling black ooze. The best part was everything else. For her project, which was sponsored by the Vermont Land Trust, she identified and mapped state significant natural communities and special habitat features on nearly 15,000 acres of forestry land in central Vermont. The information she collected will be used to determine what areas deserve extra protections in easements VLT will be holding on the land.
Yoga and Nature
Sweeping views of the Berkshires and miles of trails await guests at Kripalu Center for Yoga and Health in western Massachusetts, yet surprisingly few visitors venture outside. Jessie Griffen is collaborating with Mass Audubon to transform Kripalu's grounds from a beautiful backdrop viewed through the windows to an essential part of the guest experience. This summer, she conducted an ecological inventory of the 125-acre property and mapped the trails. And she developed and piloted natural history programs, including sunrise birding and a pollinator citizen science project.
Projects from the 2014 Field Season
Fall River Stewardship
Emerging from volcanic bedrock east of Oregon's High Cascades, the Fall River has long been popular among hikers, birders and trout-chasing anglers. Field Naturalist Levi Old collaborated with Trout Unlimited to build a river stewardship organization, fix damaged streambanks for native trout habitat, and piece together the watershed's natural history. Levi facilitated two community-visioning workshops, built partnerships among land management agencies, NGOs and private businesses, and designed a stewardship plan that will chart the watershed's future.
BioBlitz and Beyond
Last July, Mike Blouin convinced 70 strangers to join an expedition. In the shadow of Mt. Washington, scientists and locals gathered to share knowledge, connect to place, and collect biodiversity data in the 3000-acre Green Hills Preserve. Called a Bioblitz, the day-long adventure featured opportunities to spy on birds and poke at coyote scat, to discern grasses from sedges, to sketch vistas and oak leaves, to hear tall tales at twilight. Mike worked with the Nature Conservancy to coordinate two of these Bioblitzes. Now he's using the findings to inform management, build educational resources, and develop new models of inquiry for future explorers.
Rivers, Woods and People
Vermont's wildest river was once a scene of clear-cut forests and disruptive dams. Nikki Bauman and the Vermont River Conservancy are making sure history doesn't repeat itself. Nikki trekked the rugged terrain along the Nulhegan River in the Northeast Kingdom to understand the landscape and its inhabitants. She developed management strategies based on a compilation of stream restoration assessments, surveys for public access opportunities, consultations with local experts, bird watching, and more. Within the largest block of undeveloped land in Vermont, the Nulhegan Basin is remote and biologically diverse. The strategies are tailored to balance conservation, recreation, and utility of the working landscape, all of which are essential to the culture of the Northeast Kingdom.
Exhort for the Hort Farm
UVM's "Hort Farm" is an undiscovered goldmine in South Burlington. Formally known as the Horticultural Research and Education Center, it houses rarely-seen plant collections, presents a dark woodland walk that transports visitors to a deep forest, and provides vegetable shares to CSA members. But it's barely known in the Burlington area. Maddy Morgan spent her summer helping The Friends of the Hort Farm devise ways to change this. She organized service-learning projects, investigated outreach ideas and visited other environmental centers in search of inspiration. Her work will present a model to make the Hort Farm a more engaging and vital part of the Burlington community.
Mapping Merck
Merck Forest tells the story of Vermont through tap scars on the maples and rock walls of yesterday's fields now scattered through hardwood forests. People lived on this land, and altered it drastically for generations. Now the forest is rejuvenating, allowing natural processes to inspire change, with human intervention mimicking these natural forces. Over 3,000 acres of contiguous forested landscape, Merck Forest captures the essence of Vermont's identity. And that's why Kat Deely is here, transecting hillsides on Merck's three mountains, observing, mapping and contemplating the ecological integrity of this landscape. Merck Forest & Farmland Center knows how special this place is, and that's why it is working with the Vermont Land Trust to protect this land through a conservation easement in perpetuity - those lovely words that will give our grandchildren and their grandchildren a place to traverse the hillsides for observation, contemplation, and enjoyment.
Trails and Wildlife
Ski the trees! So rings the battle cry of the eastern skier as white fluff accumulates. The trees hold snow when ice covers the open slopes. Cutting away the understory of the forest to create a ski line is assumed to be benign, yet no data exists on the subject. The Bolton Valley Nordic and Backcountry Trails parcel, under the management of Vermont Department of Forests, Parks and Recreation, offered a case study opportunity. Bushwhacking around Bolton last summer, Kathryn Wrigley conducted an ecological assessment to help untangle the details of ski trails and ski glades. By exploring how the loss of forest understory affects wildlife habitat, Kathryn's work will inform the state's long-range management plan for the parcel.
Projects from the 2013 Field Season
Inhibiting Invasives
A conservation organization can protect a natural area from logging or development, but invasive plants routinely hop fences and scoff at legislation. So Clare Crosby is helping The Nature Conservancy and the Vermont Land Trust rethink their approach to managing invasives in and around natural areas. By analyzing distribution of invasives on private lands, Clare is helping to guide future management efforts around TNC natural areas in Vermont's Champlain Valley. She is also opening lines of communication with landowners about the importance of managing invasives on their land.
Woodland Walks
In the Maine woods salamanders converge on vernal pools for a once-a-year orgy. Gray Jays float like ghosts through forests of spruce and fir. And treasures on any hike range from moose to mushrooms. Kelly Finan walked some of Maine's exquisite paths to produce a suite of "natural heritage trail guides." Working with the Maine Natural Areas Program, Kelly intends to get day-hikers to stop and experience the diversity of life at each and every step.
Chasing Calcium
Calcium is essential to more than just bones. In forests, it promotes diversity, productivity and resilience. But it's not everywhere. Gus Goodwin hunted calcium in glacial till at sites throughout the Green Mountain National Forest. The hunt began not with a shovel or rock hammer, but with dusty maps and long-forgotten research. Gus built a GIS model that predicts how much of this essential nutrient is in the till and where to find it. With shovel in hand, he is headed out to test these predictions.
Of Birds and Boards
Heavy timbers, hardwood boards, pulp wood and woodpeckers. In the Adirondack Mountains these are the products of a sustaining forest-based economy. Field Naturalist Matt Pierle is dancing through the slash of a range of forest cuts to evaluate the physical and structural quality of residual stands for a broad suite of forest birds – from those requiring "complex" (old) forest to those thriving in recently disturbed landscapes. As it turns out, forestry and finches can not only coexist, but thrive. Knock on wood.
Tracking a Killer
White Pine Blister Rust has decimated pine forests across the continent. Matt Cahill pursued the disease through the rugged backcountry of Sequoia and Kings Canyon National Parks in California, a besieged holdout from the blight. His research revealed a low severity but high prevalence of rust, like a full-body rash that only slightly itches. Piecing together the evidence, Matt is identifying where the forest succumbs to rust and where, despite the odds, the pines are pulling through.
Road Work
Customary wisdom advises that we run for the hills during high waters. Unpaved roads run the other way, undermining water quality and town budgets. Joanne Garton mines the project archives of the non-profit Better Backroads, assessing how Best Management Practices have reduced road erosion and improved water quality downstream. Her work will help towns and the Vermont Agency of Transportation determine whether to spend more (or less) money on compliance with road and bridge standards. Look for Joanne photographing roadside ditches and plugged culverts, boots covered in sediment intercepted on its rogue journey to Lake Champlain.
Learning on the Land
Though interns are often relegated to coffee brewing and photocopying, Laura Yayac is designing a program to bring them respect as land stewards. Laura spent the summer consulting with the member land trusts of the Southern Maine Conservation Collaborative to understand their stewardship needs. She's developing an internship program for the Collaborative inspired by the Vermont-based LANDS program, in which students gain field and professional skills while inventorying natural resources and crafting management plans. Better conservation, applied student learning, and no coffee errands.

It's Not Over Yet: Remembering New Rave, 10 Years On
It was once called "a piss-poor youthquake that will soon go out of fashion", but new rave set a precedent for everything that's going on right now.

From Cambridge student shit shows to basement metal nights, fetish clubs to indie discos, he spent three years drinking through various subcultures.
It seems almost anybody, or any brand, can suddenly reboot themselves as a swagged-out standard bearer of cool.
Just three years ago, there was a palpable sense of fear in the British media about the horrors Lads were capable of. Now, they've all but disappeared. What happened?
The New York ballroom scene has spread to a European incarnation that mixes straight, gay, black, white, men, women, young, and old. Photographer Ewen Spencer has been following its parties.
Capitalism, classism, and a forced sense of quirkiness are colliding on the streets of the UK capital.
Famed foodie Jay Rayner and rapper J Hus tell us all we need to know about the changing face of the UK capital.
Clive Martin and Faze talked grime, fashion, drugs, and clubs in a few of London's tackiest shops.
What is "Instagram house"? You know what I mean: Producers remixing Ed Sheeran tracks with steel drums, pan-pipes, and 4/4 beats in a way that sounds just like the last day of your vacation.
If your Facebook feed looks anything like mine, it's getting overrun with normal people using weird image macros to bitch about "haters," "cheaters," and "whores."
How London and other cities have replaced raves with dire yuppie parody.
London is a city that exists permanently at the end of its rope. It's the last metropolis in a sinking country on a starving continent, an island within an island oozing out into the Home Counties like an unstoppable concrete oil spill.
Tracing the origins of London's newest and most annoyingly infantile youth tribe.
Class war, a perversely resurgent club scene, and people lining up for burgers—a year in the life of one of the greatest cities on Earth.
The photographer was there to capture the London scene in its earliest years.
When a friend showed me a forum thread detailing some of London's lost, dreadful clubs, I found myself through the looking glass of a time before student promoters and Uber discount codes.
In the never-ending circle pit of bad decisions and splitting headaches, these two Italian films have been there to steer me through.
I spent a night seeing what London nightlife looks like for tourists. As it turns out, it's full of tacky pubs and overpriced transportation.
Ibiza is a place that looms large in all our imaginations, the sun-kissed, beer-drenched rock in the middle of the Mediterranean where all our hedonistic dreams can come true. But what is it that makes people come back year after year to the same tiny isl…
Clive Martin spent a long week there getting to know the dancers, DJs, robots, and mermaids that make the island the destination of choice for Brits looking to literally party their faces off.

Now the next problem you might order something and they will not have it in stock and send you whatever they feel like. I bought a 25 dollar athame from them and when I finally recived my order it was a different athame a cheaper one. the candles came broken. When I asked them about it they replied the athame you wanted was not in stock but will be shortly. The broken candles they said was not there fault and I have to take it up with USPS.
The final thing was when I ordered the human bone powder. Now the law states that when you buy human bones you need a certificate. I did not receive one with my purchase which I had to throw away the bone powder for I am a law abiding citizen. without a certificate for such things the police can assume that the bones were obtained illegally and it is a crime. You could even be charged with murder. I asked them at the apothica where the bones came from and why no certificate. they replied that they are not at liberty to say where they came from and they never heard of a certificate with bones.
This place needs to be investigated for fraud, and illegal activity

Do-it-yourself projects and plans for anyone who can swing a hammer.
By Heidi Hunt
question to readers, building projects
My paternal grandmother lived about three hours away from my family, so I saw her only once or twice a year. But two summers, after third and fourth grades, I spent a week at Grandma's house, along with my cousin, who also was my age.
We spent our week doing pretty much the same thing each day: In the morning, there were some chores to do, then we would walk to a neighborhood park that had a wading pool. Once during the week, Grandma would give us each ten cents (this was 1954) and we would get a brown paper bag of penny candy from the little store across from the park. After lunch we took an hour nap. My cousin had a bout of scarlet fever and she needed to rest each day, so I did also — I usually read for the whole hour. Then we might play Go Fish with Grandma.
But the best indoor activity we did each day was building marble mazes out of blocks made from 4-inch 1-by-4s. Grandma had a whole box of them that a friend gave to her. They were perfect for building castles and houses, but especially for making marble slides and mazes. We spent hours, both summers, spreading our creations across the living room floor. I can still remember the piney smell of the blocks.

Rain thwarted Kent's bid to force only their second win of the season when persistent and heavy showers throughout the final day forced the abandonment of Kent's LV= County Championship Division Two match with Gloucestershire at Canterbury.
With Gloucestershire teetering on the brink of defeat at 307 for nine - still 92 short of their victory target - the heavens opened above St Lawrence Ground just 10 minutes before the scheduled 11am start time and barely relented thereafter.
The umpires, Neil Bainton and David Millns, sent the players for an early lunch at 12:30pm but, with rain still falling, had little option but to call the game off come 3pm, leaving Gloucestershire's Gareth Roderick as the visiting hero, unbeaten on a match-saving 152.
Kent bagged seven points for the stalemate, while promotion-chasing Gloucestershire will just about stay in the hunt after banking five.

Erie County overestimated how much it would have to pay to the state pension system during the state's prior fiscal year.
And that means the county will receive a credit of about $3.9 million in this year's budget.
The overcalculation – based on the state's calculations – amounts to a win for county taxpayers, according to County Comptroller Stefan I. Mychajliw, who released the information Monday.
"This is very, very good news," Mychajliw said. "If there are any gaps in this year's budget, this is a wonderful cushion for us to have."
The State Comptroller's Office estimates how much the county owes in pension payments based on the number of employees on the county payroll and the cost of their salaries.
However, Mychajliw said, there were significant reductions in the county workforce in 2011 under the administration of then-County Executive Chris Collins. That's why the county wound up paying more on its pension bill to the state than was actually owed.
The county's deputy comptroller for accounting, Gregory G. Gach, likened it to a homeowner whose monthly balanced billing from a utility was overestimated.
"Only until an exact reading would the homeowner then receive a credit towards future bills," Gach said in a news release Monday from the County Comptroller's Office.
In a letter addressed to the County Legislature on Monday, Gach estimated that the county's general fund will be credited $3.9 million as a result of the overestimation of its pension obligations.
The total reduction of pension payments to the state at the end of the current fiscal year is estimated at $4.5 million, he added.
Mychajliw said the $3.9 million credit from the state can serve as a small safety net if sales tax revenue projections by the County Budget Office turn out to be overly aggressive. He said the substantial credit should give pause to the administration of County Executive Mark C. Poloncarz if it seeks another property tax increase next year. Mychajliw said the news from Albany reinforces the Legislature's decision to reject Poloncarz's proposed tax increase last year.
"The last thing the administration should do is hurt homeowners with higher taxes," he said.
While the Poloncarz administration greeted Monday's news positively, it offered a different take on the result of the estimated $3.9 million impact on the county's general fund.
"It's a pleasant surprise," said Mark Cornell, county director of policy and communications.
"It's the direct result of aggressive vacancy controls by this administration and the strategic elimination of unnecessary positions as we still work to close the budget gap that the Legislature minority created."

Hi, I'm using headway 3.2.5.
I've got the facebook like button, but when you click on it, the pop up window sits to the right and doesn't fit in the window of the main part of the site, but appears mostly behind the sidebar, if you will. Please see here.
Is there a way to align that popup differently? I moved the like button to be the first in the order, so it is on the left which minimizes the overflow to the right, but it still spills over on the right as well as on the bottom.
Thanks in advance for the help/advice.

CORAL GABLES, Fla. (AP) -- A person familiar with the decision
tells The Associated Press that Miami fired coach Randy Shannon on
Saturday, hours after the Hurricanes finished a 7-5 regular season.
The fate of all members of Shannon's staff has not been
determined, according to the person, who spoke on condition of
anonymity because the university is not announcing the move until
Sunday. Some, if not all, will remain for Miami's bowl game.
Shannon received a four-year extension just before the start of
the 2010 season. He was 28-22 in four seasons at Miami.
Miami athletic director Kirby Hocutt, who made the decision on
Shannon's fate, did not return calls and text messages seeking
comment. Hocutt made the decision shortly after Miami lost to South
Florida 23-20 in overtime on Saturday afternoon, in a game where
only about 27,000 people filled the 73,000 seats at Sun Life

Katsuji Wakisaka: Japanese Textile Designer
From the Publisher. Katsuji Wakisaka, a Japanese textile designer, started his career as the first Japanese designer to work for Marimekko, the Finnish textile company, in 1968. Surrounded by the beautiful nature of Finland, he developed an aesthetic for organic shapes and bold colors. After coming back to Japan in 1980s, he started SOUSOU, the apparel brand whose projects are created based on Japanese tradition. These days, Wakisaka starts his day with a walk and takes inspiration from the landscape of his hometown, Kyoto. After returning to his studio, he paints everything from seasonal changes in nature to traditional Japanese patterns. Many of his textile designs for SOUSOU begin as postcards, which serve as initial drafts for his designs, and he mails each one to his wife. He is prolific that he has made more than 10,000 postcards until now. Most of the contents of this book are his textile designs and products for Marimekko and SOUSOU. Behind-the-scene stories of how he is active in his SOUSOU brand, his interview, and his episodes for his designs are also included. This is a title for designers, textile lovers, and those who are interested in Finnish and modern Japanese designs. Even those who do not know Wakisaka will enjoy and be inspired by the book.
A biography of a Japanese textile designer who worked for prominent textile design firms such as Marimekko and Larsen. After working over 40 years as a textile print designer, Wakisaka currently designs for SOUSOU, a fashion brand based in Kyoto. This book is a full of inspirational sources—over 10,000 of them—celebrating Wakisaka's long and successful career.

Most visibly for Google, Facebook, and Amazon, but perhaps more importantly for banks, insurance companies, and major corporations, "Big Data" provides a new paradigm for organizing information, to which the use of algorithms has become ever more central. In his book 'What are Algorithms Dreaming Of: Our Lives in Times of Big Data' ('A quoi rêvent les algorithmes: Nos vies à l'heure des big data', Seuil, Paris 2015), Dominique Cardon aims to show how these new computing techniques are revolutionizing our society. Through new ways of classifying information, personalized advertising, product recommendation, and the track of consumers' behaviour and interested, large-scale calculating infrastructures are trying to interfere ever more intimately in individuals' lives. Yet far from being merely technical tools, algorithms bring with them an emergent political project. As reviewer Thorsten Botz-Bornstein notes, there is a sinister paradox here. People are by and large suspicious of centralized powers, be it the power of politicians, journalists, or unions; they (profess to) abhor being classified into broad categories, believing instead that their individuality fits into no "box." Yet, these very same individuals allow themselves to become locked into the bubble of algorithms – partly because this new algorithmic authoritarianism has successfully been camouflaged as non-authoritarianism, partly because they are impressed with the speed and the effects of algorithmic coordination.
Recently, a string of authors have lamented the state of American university education, including the limited aspirations of college students. Instead of pursuing, as William Deresiewicz called it, "passionate weirdness", students major in applied subjects such as business studies, enter the financial sector and management consultancies, quickly leaving a more critical engagement with the status quo behind. What's striking for the student of cultural history is the fact that every quarter-century or so this sentiment resurfaces, with professors expressing extreme frustration with how unlike them their students are, how docile and unquestioning. Tracing a trajectory from Horkheimer and Adorno's 'Dialektik der Aufklärung' (1947) via Bloom's 'The Closing of the American Mind' (1987) to more recent examples such as Deresiewiciz's 'Excellent Sheep' (2014), BRB critic Bruce Fleming analyses this historical phenomenon. What he finds is that reading all these eerily similar books back to back suggests larger truths that no individual author can more than hint at, truths about the position of cultural critics and their ultimate inability to change that culture.
Following in the footsteps of Alexis de Tocqueville, Denis Lacorne's "Religion in America" brings a French sensibility to bear on social and political issues in the United States. But does Lacorne's analysis measure up to the ambition of his predecessor? In some sense, Lacorne's book offers an even richer dose of Frenchness by dedicating considerable also to other French writers. Lacorne distinguishes two concurrent narratives: a secular narrative derived from the philosophy of the Enlightenment, and a romantic/'Neopuritan' narrative, which sees the establishment of the Puritan colonies in New England as the culmination of the movement that started with the Reformation. Yet, neo-Messianic overtones remain to the present day — one need only think of the message of 'hope', with which Obama won his first presidential election. On the whole, writes reviewer Hans-Dieter Gelfert, Lacorne's book is a useful source of historical information and a well-balanced assessment of its subject matter, even if does not provides as close a look at the religious heart of America as one might have wished.
While a number of major surveys of European social history have been presented in recent decades, many of these are indebted to Western European perspectives and narratives. In his 'A Social History of Twentieth-Century Europe' (London: Routledge 2013), Béla Tomka, professor of history at the University of Szeged (Hungary), offers a modern synthesis, based on painstaking empirical data. As reviewer, Ferencz Laczó argues, the volume may be considered as a corrective to more established perspectives, as well as a contribution to post-communist attempts at revising inherited historical understandings especially regarding the supposedly notable successes of communist-era modernization. All in all, Laczó argues, Tomka's book represents a towering achievement in the historiography of European social reality.
A pervasive techno-fix mentality, coupled with a nauseating utopianism, characterizes much of the discourse on new technologies and the internet. In his handbook 'Social Media: A Critical Introduction' (Sage 2014), Christian Fuchs offers a welcome dissenting view from the self-congratulatory navel-gazing of most new media pundits. Fuchs' handbook, which is largely aimed at students, illustrates through many illuminating examples, discussions, and tables, that social media are imbricated in a fundamentally exploitative and oppressive political economy, in which one part of the nexus of exploitation has shifted from the mere consumer to the 'prosumer', and the other part towards the extreme exploitation of rightless workers in the various global electronics factories. Yet, writes reviewer Ingrid Hoofd, there remains a nagging suspicion that Fuchs' stance of 'critical optimism', too, remains attached to the very logic of 'branding', which his he purports to criticize: if one of the 'selling points' of the handbook is its appeal to students to individually take a more critical stance, does this not obscure the fact that many social media are at base corporate entities, well beyond the control or influence of individual activists?
In his book 'Excellent Sheep' (New York: Free Press 2014), William Deresiewicz offers a probing indictment of America's top universities which, with few exceptions, turn young people into narrow-minded and career-oriented drones, who are more likely to pad their resumes in order to secure a job in finance than to cultivate intellectual growth or develop world-changing insights. The student-inspired title of Deresiewicz's book (the term 'Excellent Sheep' is traced by Deresiewicz to a comment by a Yale student) is supplemented by two subtitles, joined together somewhat awkwardly with just an ampersand: 'The Miseducation of the American Elite' & 'The Way to a Meaningful Life'. While this three-part title reflects the three main strands of the book, they do not always sit very well together. Thus, BRB reviewer Bruce Fleming argues, it is unclear what the search for a 'meaningful life' has to do with the curricula of elite universities and the alleged miseducation of the elites: Surely Deresiewicz does not want to suggest that there can be universal institutionalized ways for finding one's true self and becoming the person one truly wants to be? We may all dream of being bohemians, but most of us aren't cut out for it. And even for those of us who are, the quest for meaning can hardly be reduced to the problem of curriculum reform.
How do we feed an ever growing world population in an environment of increasing scarcity? In their book 'Food Policy and the Environmental Credit Crunch: From Soup to Nuts' (London: Routledge 2014), investment bankers Julie Hudson and Paul Donovan liken the current overuse of the environment to the over-borrowing that ultimately led to the credit crunch in the global financial markets in 2008/09. Yet, argues reviewer Heiko Fritz, this perspective is ultimately limiting, and says more about the mindset of those trained to look at the world's problems through the lens of financial markets, than about the challenges of food policy under conditions of environmental degradation. This is why, ultimately, the authors converge on the misguided conclusion that, as Fritz summarizes their views, "the hunt for technical efficiency is the most pressing problem of global food production".
In a world that is more and more connected by electronic and other social media, questions of reputation and its management become ever more important, even to individuals who previously would not have thought of themselves as being in the public limelight. A recent volume, 'La Réputation' (2013), edited by Gloria Origgi and published by the Centre Edgar-Morin, explores this topic from an interdisciplinary perspective. Composed of twelve articles, ranging from psychology and economics to philosophy and sociology, the volume aims at a 'disenchantment' of the elusive notion of reputation. As reviewer Thomas Mollanger notes, though the volume engages little with the extensive body of reputation research in the English-speaking world, it nonetheless succeeds in highlighting and analyzing the centrality of reputation to a range of social phenomena.
Two and a half years after the tsunami and nuclear disaster in Japan in March 2011, a number of books have appeared which explore the impact of the events on Japanese politics and policy-making. In 'After the Great East Japan Earthquake', published by the Nordic Institute of Asian Studies, based in Copenhagen, a number of contributors analyze those policy areas most likely to be affected by the tragedy – politics, economics, energy, climate, agriculture and food safety – and describe how the sectors have been affected and what the implications are for the future. This adds up to a useful set of additional perspectives, according to reviewer Hansley A. Juliano, in this review originally written for the LSE Review of Books.
The last few years have witnessed a resurgence of political mass movements and revolts — ranging from the West's 'Occupy' movement to the Arab Spring and recent protest movements in Turkey and Egypt. Participation in these movements is heavily skewed towards the urban, educated classes. Two recent books — one in German, the other in French — approach this phenomenon at a theoretical level, though from different disciplinary perspectives. As reviewer Thorsten Botz-Bornstein describes in his essay review of Wolfgang Kraushaar's 'The Revolt of the Educated' (Hamburg 2012) and Roland Gori's 'The Impostor Factory' (Paris 2013), both books identify a dissatisfaction with a particular style of governance and formal-instrumental style of rationality as one of the reasons behind these protests. Whereas Kraushaar gives an empirical-historical reconstruction of the figure of the "new global protester", Gori — in a manner vaguely reminiscent of Jacques Ellul — analyzes the psychological potency of various techniques of 'normalization'. Together, both books amount to a powerful critique of the social and political impostures that are being performed through false abstractions and misguided claims to universality.

Vt. police say Peacham victim shot twiceThe Associated Press | June 21,2013PEACHAM - A Vermont State Police detective says a Peacham man was shot twice in the chest by his wife's ex-husband before he shot himself in the head.
Police released the information Friday after receiving the results of autopsies conduction on the bodies of 50-year-old Mark Peabody of Peacham and the shooter, 59-year-old John Jackson of Amherst, N.H.
Police were called to Peabody's home Wednesday morning after receiving a report from his wife Jeannie Peabody that a white van had pulled up in front of her house. Jeannie Peabody went to a neighbor's house to call 911.
Mark Peabody was the former principal at the Peacham school.

Preview: Thomas Merton still strikes a chord when new readers find him
Spirituality: Had he not died in 1968, what would America's most famous monk, mystic and hermit, Thomas Merton, done? We shall never know.
Spirituality: Had he not died in 1968, what would America's most famous monk, mystic and hermit, Thomas Merton, done? We shall never know.
When Trappist Fr. Matt Torpey speaks of his mentor, teacher and friend Thomas Merton, the words flow like a gentle stream.
"We interrupt our regular programming for this very important news." Some version of this familiar phrase has become the routine segue for informing the public of world events. When the "breaking news" announcement indicates that a world leader will be speaking shortly, the ambience may be all the more charged.
Now that the candidates have committed themselves to deepen their experience of Jesus and prepare for the special coming of the Holy Spirit into their hearts at confirmation, it's important that they, and all of us, try to listen now deeply to the word of God to try to understand what this word of God means today as we celebrate this ceremony that begins the program of preparation for confirmation for these parish members.
Meet the "Post-Seculars" -- the one in five Americans who seem to have gone unnoticed before in endless rounds of debates pitting science vs. religion.
They're more strongly religious than most "Traditionals" (43 percent of Americans) and more scientifically knowledgeable than "Moderns" (36 percent) who stand on science alone, according to two sociologists' findings in a new study.
Soul Seeing: I was standing in a shabby, windowless office, trying to convince Lucia to give up her baby. What right did I have to do this? What was I doing here?
The book of Jonah is one of the Hebrew Scriptures' most significant writings. But since many of us don't recognize its literary genre, we miss the theology the author's trying to convey.
Faith and Justice: The mystery of evil is beyond my comprehension. I have concluded that Jesus came not to explain suffering but to weep and suffer with us.
Young Voices: One of the problems with forgiveness is that all too often, we view it as an act in an instant rather than a way over time.
Simply Spirit: When it comes to life after death, it sure looks like there's a lot more experiential evidence out there than most of us ever realized.

LEW is good proof that we don't need to use the starting setting. I'm not sure LEW would have been as much interesting if we had used some setting.

How does the community handle "build out?" of a setting?
Is there a policy that "most everything is accepted?"
Is there a policy that "reality is flexible?"
Is there a "board" that approve things?
Is the setting "designed" to have inherent flex? (ala spelljammer with different spheres, or everyway with different worlds?)
I'm not a fan of the "default" particularly most of the usable fluff seems to be about the awesome-new-races. At the same time if it's going to be a "standard dnd world, why bother to re-invent the wheel?
sorry for the noob questions

I've got to say that I have become extremely fond of Living Enworld, and for me a large part of that is the idea that it belongs to the community. I like saying Orussus instead of Greyhawk, one has been trod by thousands of imaginary feet and the other belongs the community and is more genuinely shapeable by them.
Back after a long absence, and feeling rather sheepish.

I think that being able to document and publish our setting online freely outweighs any advantages from using a proprietary setting. If we keep it small at first and allow it to grow as L4W grows, I think that will keep the amount of work required down to a reasonable amount. Some of Graf's ideas about flexible worlds could help, too.

I second several people's opinions. Keep it small at first, and let the world grow as needed/desired. Keep it homebrew, so we can have our own unique world. Some framework won't hurt, and detailing a few spots of the local region is a good idea.
A flexible world is actually pretty easy to write in later or to include in small pieces. If we go with the "sea-is-a-transitive-plane" idea, it's already implemented. If we go with the "portals-in-the-major-cities" idea, all it takes is a new portal. If we go with the "whatever" idea, GMs can create a transitive-plane-river or a city of portals, as they wish!
LEW, despite having none of these explicit "flex methods" (and a mostly "whatever" feel) has been very flexible, and the players/DMs have created an awesome world in which to play.
Currently playing...

Ford (NYSE: F ) CEO Alan Mulally is widely credited with turning the automaker around. Detroit News journalist Bryce Hoffman writes about that turnaround in the bestseller, American Icon: Alan Mulally and the Fight to Save Ford Motor Company. The Motley Fool recently asked Hoffman what his biggest question about Ford was.
Ford has been performing incredibly well as a company over the past few years -- it's making good vehicles, is consistently profitable, recently reinstated its dividend, and has done a remarkable job paying down its debt. But Ford's stock seems stuck in neutral. Does this create an incredible buying opportunity, or are there hidden risks with the stock that investors need to know about? To answer that, one of our top equity analysts has compiled a premium research report with in-depth analysis on whether Ford is a buy right now, and why.
