The title of his paper was "Globalization, Regional Inequality and Rural-Rural Labor Migration in China." Events and Things of Note Partnership Grant : A newly formed partnership will enable Kansas State University to help rural communities identify ways to adjust to future climate scenarios that may affect their families and livelihoods. The Central Great Plains Climate Change Education Partnership will include both agricultural and rural education stakeholders, as well as K-State Research and Extension and the Center for Instructional Innovation at the University of Nebraska-Lincoln. It is supported by a two-year, $1 million National Science Foundation grant. The goal of the partnership is to meet with rural Kansans to learn about their needs and to find out how to develop effective strategies for dealing with such environments, whether it is adjusting current management systems or adopting new practices. K-State was one of 14 programs chosen to receive the National Science Foundation award, which is a Phase 1 grant that supports building the partnership among interested parties and then planning locally relevant educational programs. After that K-State can apply for a five-year grant that will support the development of these educational programs. The partnership also helps with K-State's goal of becoming a top 50 public research university by 2025. Some educational programs could include training extension specialists to work with rural communities in preparing to meet different future climate scenarios. In turn, specialists can solicit the expertise, knowledge and concerns of communities so that policymakers can effectively address producers' needs. The partnership will focus on three areas: climate science, learning science and education practitioners. A 10-member team provides expertise in each of the areas. The co-principal investigators for the partnership include Charles Rice, university distinguished professor of agronomy and director of the K-State Soil Carbon Center; Daniel Devlin, K-State professor of agronomy; and Roger Bruning, professor of cognitive psychology and director of the UNL Center for Instructional Innovation. Other senior K-State personnel for the project include: John Harrington Jr ., professor of geography; Jacqueline Spears, professor of curriculum and instruction; Timothy Steffensmeier, division head of communication studies and a research associate with the Institute for Civic Discourse and Democracy; Daniel Kahl, community development extension associate; and Shannon Washburn, associate professor of agricultural education. Other senior UNL personnel involved include Lisa Pytlik Zillig, a research professor with the Center for Instructional Innovation and a research specialist at the university's Public Policy Center.

  • NATURAL RESOURCES (Updated Excerpt from Jo Daviess Comprehensive Plan Baseline Data)
    ATTACHMENT F: NATURAL RESOURCES (Updated excerpt from Jo Daviess Comprehensive Plan Baseline Data) The natural resources in Jo Daviess County are unique relative to the rest of the state and much of the mid-west because the county is part of the Wisconsin Driftless Region bypassed by continental glaciers of the Ice Age. This region covers parts of southern Minnesota and Wisconsin, Northwestern Illinois and Northeastern Iowa. Glaciated areas were leveled, strewn with glacial debris or "drift" and dotted with lakes and ponds. The driftless areas, on the other hand, have bedrock close to the surface into which deep valleys have been carved by millions of years of weather and erosion. In Jo Daviess County, streams are numerous and the only two lakes are man-made. The relief from the higher ridges to the valley floors is typically 300 feet or more creating a rugged and scenic landscape. Ecosystems can be found in this landscape that are older than those found in glaciated areas. Geology The topography of Jo Daviess County is characterized by rugged relief unique to most of Illinois. Our county, located in the far northwestern corner of the state, is in an area spared by the major glaciations of the last two million years. It is, accordingly, called the "Driftless Area" by geologists, the term "drift" referring to material deposited by glacial activity. The visible landscape that we see today began during the Paleozoic Era (570 to 245 million years ago) when shallow seas repeatedly inundated the interior of the continent. Shells of marine animals, along with muds, silts and sands from eroding highlands, were periodically deposited in those sea bottoms.

  • Encounters with the Early Highpointers by Charles
    SOME CLOSE (AND NOT SO CLOSE) ENCOUNTERS WITH THE EARLY HIGHPOINTERS BY CHARLES FERIS Many stories can be told of how we got our first inspiration to pursue this hobby of ours, this highpointing. We’ve been inspired in a hundred ways; mine arose during a period of boredom, while in college. Seeking something other than study, I took out a Rand McNally road atlas, and looked at a map of my native state of Illinois, noting the little red dot in the northwest corner of the state. Wow, something neat to do. So while the other kids were off to Florida, off to Charles Mound I went during spring break 1961. Then it hit me; I had already done Mt. Whitney the year before, so why not do all the states. Now I was really excited. The next few years saw me collecting 13 more highpoints in the Midwest and southeast. I went my merry way, never realizing that others might be crazy enough to be pursuing the very same project. At this point I was not aware of the tiny fraternity of early highpointers who were already years before me. I had no idea of the remarkable people I was about to meet. Then in August 1965 a Sierra Club friend of mine in Chicago told me about C. Rowland Stebbins. I had found a kindred soul, one who had already completed the 48. I phoned him immediately. Soon my wife and I were off on the four hour drive to Lansing, Michigan. We arrived to an expansive mansion on Moore’s River Drive atop a bluff overlooking the Grand River.

  • Overview of the Strategic and Structural Evolution of the Talladega Slate Belt, Alabama Appalachians
    fl d029-08 1st pgs page 1 The Geological Society of America Field Guide 29 2012 Overview of the stratigraphic and structural evolution of the Talladega slate belt, Alabama Appalachians James F. Tull* Department of Earth, Ocean, and Atmospheric Science, Florida State University Clinton I. Barineau* Department of Earth and Space Sciences, Columbus State University ABSTRACT The allochthonous Talladega belt of eastern-northeastern Alabama and north- western Georgia is a northeast striking, fault bounded block of lower greenschist facies metasedimentary and metaigneous rocks that formed along the margin of Lau- rentia at or outboard of the seaward edge of the Alabama promontory. Bounded by metamorphic rocks of the higher grade Neoproterozoic(?) to Carboniferous eastern Blue Ridge on the southeast and unmetamorphosed to anchimetamorphic Paleozoic rocks of the Appalachian foreland on the northwest, the Talladega belt includes shelf facies rocks of the latest Neoproterozoic/earliest Cambrian Kahatchee Mountain Group, Cambrian-Ordovician Sylacauga Marble Group, and the latest Silurian(?) to uppermost Devonian/earliest Mississippian Talladega Group. Along the southeast- ern fl ank of these metasedimentary sequences, a Middle Ordovician back-arc terrane (Hillabee Greenstone) was tectonically emplaced along a cryptic pre-metamorphic thrust fault (Hillabee thrust) and subsequently dismembered with units of the upper Talladega Group along the post-metamorphic Hollins Line fault system. Importantly, strata within the Talladega belt are critical for understanding the tectonic evolution of the southern Appalachian orogen when coupled with the geologic history of adjacent terranes. Rocks of the lower Talladega Group, the Lay Dam Formation, suggest latest Silurian-earliest Devonian tectonism that is only now being recognized in other areas of the southern Appalachians.

  • Climbing America's
    batical leave in Scandinavia, I finally reached the 5895m summit of Africa’s high- est mountain. In 1986, the year after I climbed Kilimanjaro, Dick Bass, Frank Wells, and Rick Ridgeway published Seven Summits, an account of Bass and Wells’ attempt to climb the highest peak on each of the world’s seven continents. I bought their book and devoured it. Inspired by it, I devised my own climbing goal—to climb at least ‘Three-and-a-Half Summits’: namely, at least three of the six highest of the Seven Summits plus Australia’s Mt Kosciuszko, which is a mere 2228m above sea level (i.e., less than half the height of Antarctica’s Vinson Massif, the sixth-lowest of the Seven Summits), and Kosciuszko can therefore, as a Kiwi I quipped, really only be regarded as a half-summit. I made reasonably quick progress towards achieving my goal. In August 1994, I climbed Russia’s Mt Elbrus, 5642m, the highest mountain in Europe. In December the same year, I summited 6962m-high Cerro Aconcagua in Argentina, the highest mountain in South America (which I like to tell people is ‘the highest mountain in the world outside Asia,’ and then hope their geography is so weak that they don’t realise how huge an exclusion clause those two words, ‘outside Asia’, are). I then decided to have a crack at climbing Denali, and on 6 July 1997 stood proudly on the 6194m-high summit of North America’s high- est peak and held up a t-shirt from Victoria University (which is where I taught political science for many years).
