Box 6328 Bend, OR 97708 A Message From Your President John Vogel, OSSA President Summer maintenance on the snow cats is pretty close to being done by now and trail clearing is underway. I had some pictures sent to me from Denny Farwell in reference to humor out of Toll- gate Trail Finders (see pictures inside).All of us working together is what makes Oregon’s program a huge success. OSSA has pur- chased a new snow cat for Sisters Sno-Go-Fers and relocated some other equipment. Things have been a little smoky around here in Hood River and on top of Mt. Hood with the Gnarl Ridge fire. The fire has con- sumed many board feet of lumber (150 cords per acre) in some riding areas and now is burning in the Wilderness area. The fire is being fueled by down timber (heavy underbrush) and beetle kill trees, which could have been avoided if the Forest Service had been aloud to manage its forest.

    PURLOINED PATHS | LAYOFFS AND LESSONS | BOOKS FOR THE EREMOCENE High Country ForN people whoews care about the West Grizzly Face-Off The Yellowstone grizzly population is poised to lose federal protections — for better or worse By Gloria Dickie May 16, 2016 | $5 | Vol. 48 No. 8 | www.hcn.org 48 No. | $5 Vol. 2016 16, May CONTENTS Editor’s note Grizzly fascination The professor’s assignment was open-ended: Get together with another graduate student and write about a current natural resource dilemma, one with lots of competing players. Both topic and partner came readily to mind: The Yellowstone grizzly bear intrigued not only me, but also my vivacious, intelligent colleague, Ann Harvey. That was back in 1985. The other day, I found our report buried deep inside an old file cabinet. It’s not poetry, but it captures the flavor of the landscape, as well as the politics of a place that has been one of my journalistic foci for decades now. And I am still friends with Ann, who has lived in the greater Yellowstone ecosystem ever since, and who continues to be an ardent wildlife advocate. Here’s the thing about grizzly bears: They create a human ecosystem every bit as interesting as the natural one. And that system is also populated by fierce and persistent individuals. Ann is one of many who have remained in the grizzly-shaped system for Yellowstone Valley photo guide, outtter and hunter Jim Laybourn wears a bear costume to help send a message at the Yellowstone Ecosystem Subcommittee meeting in Teton Village last November.

  • Spring Break in the Florida Panhandle, 1938-2018 Nuno F
    The Cultural History of a Break: Spring Break in the Florida Panhandle, 1938-2018 Nuno F. Ribeiro, Royal Melbourne Institute of Technology University, Vietnam Part harmonic convergence, the result of millions of teenagers coming of age in a time of rebellion and affluence, and part hormonic convergence, a coming of age in a society saturated with sexual images, the Florida beach perfectly matched generation and lifestyles. Fort Lauderdale, Daytona Beach, and Panama City Beach were reinvented to fit an American rite of passage. —G. R. Mormino (2005: 316) Introduction In its simplest form, Spring Break is nothing more than a week-long vacation period, typically held in the early spring, recognized as such by administrators of colleges and universities across North America, and providing a respite from classes, exams, and the cold weather. But spring break is also a multi- billion-dollar tourism phenomenon that encompasses the yearly migration of thousands of college students towards a small number of sunny beaches in the Southern United States, chief among them Florida. Spring break is generally associated with the consumption of alcohol in excess, reckless behavior, and a relaxation of sexual mores, in a no-holds-barred atmosphere of unlicensed leisure, or what the New York Times dubbed “Spring Bacchanal” (Marsh 2006). More than forty scholarly articles (for a review, see Ribeiro and Hickerson 2012), and encyclopedia entries (Gianoulis 2000, Ribeiro and Hickerson 2017, Russell 2004) have been published on the topic, in addition to thousands of media pieces, news articles, op-eds, and reports by advocacy and interest groups. Novels, films, television shows, and even a handful of master’s theses and doctoral dissertations have been devoted to spring break.

    Stanford eCorner Make the Right Thing [Entire Talk] Alberto Savoia, Google 13-03-2019 URL: https://ecorner.stanford.edu/video/make-the-right-thing-entire-talk/ As Google’s first engineering director, Alberto Savoia led the team that launched Google’s revolutionary AdWords project. After founding two startups, he returned to Google in 2008 and he assumed the role of “Innovation Agitator,” developing trainings and workshops to catalyze smart, impactful creation within the company. Drawing on his book The Right It, he begins with the premise that at least 80 percent of innovations fail, even if competently executed. He discusses how to reframe the central challenge of innovation as a question not of skill or technology, but of market demand: Will anyone actually care? Savoia shares strategies for winning the fight against failure, by using a rapid-prototyping technique he calls “pretotyping.” Transcript (Techno music) - [Announcer] Who you are defines how you build.. (techno music) - [Alberto] This is my battle cry these days, failure bites, bite back.. I'm a serial entrepreneur, and I kind of got my butt kicked a few times and the last time I decided I don't want this to ever happen again to me, or anyone else.. My mission to help entrepreneurs, most of you here, to teach you how to fight failure and win consistently.. But first, let me tell you, I'm gonna structure it very simply, seven strategies in 35 minutes.. I don't have a lot of time, but fortunately, there is a book that you can buy out there that, you know, you can spend six hour in my company.

Following an evocative foreword from activist and community organizer, Ed Wesley, the book begins with a discussion of black involvement in the Paciÿc whaling industry during the middle and late-nineteenth century.
