Study Abroad - Ecuador 2011 A group of students traveled to Ecuador during the winter session on an agricultural study abroad experience. There were 18 students traveling along with Dr. David Coffey, Dr. Melissa Stewart, Kristie Guffey and Dr. Rankin Skinner, a dentist from Winchester, Kentucky. The group left the winter cold of Kentucky for the warm, tropical conditions of the south. They arrived in the capital of Ecuador and toured the museums, art, architecture, churches, and the culture of Quito. The group met up with Dr. Rankin Skinner in the city of Santo Domingo. There the students and leaders of the group learned how to administer dental sealant on the teeth of children and adults.

The service learninlearningg project was magnified by the overwhelming majority of students who are now donating money, time, and dental supplies to the next study abroad trip that will be leaving on March 2, 2011. The group continued to travel from the magnificent mountains and volcanoes of the Andes to the tropical region and the Pacific coast of Ecuador. They traveled to bamboo, pineapple, cacao, beef cattle, palm oil, and hearts of palm farms; fishing villages; local markets; and witnessed a local group of indigenous people in their native culture. The group wrapped up their experience by walking on the equator and conducting exciting scientific experiments that proved they were in the middle of the world. Pre-PharmacyPre-Pharmacy major, Lashelle Courtney wrapped up the trip with these words, “To see mountains that touch the clouds, to witness farms and plantations of bamboo, bananas and palm oil, to be indulged into lifestyles that are new and different from our own, to touch peoples´ lives and have them touch ours right back, the study abroad trip to Ecuador was the trip of a lifetime.” Submitted by: Kristie Guffey Department of Agriculture Pa ge 3 Study Abroad - Scotland 2011 Ten students accompanied Dr. Linda Brown Gonzales and Mr. Roger Dennis on a study abroad trip to Scotland in May 2011. The group focused on horticulture interests, visiting the Royal Botanic Garden of Edinburgh, many castle grounds and Arran Island. They were privileged to have a personal tour from the Head Greenskeeper at St. Andrews Golf Courses. One very lucky student, Blake Upchurch, had the unique opportunity to play the New Course! Students toured the Arran Island cheese creamery, observing cheeses being dipped in the wax covering that commonly contains cheese for shipment and sale. They visited Arran Distillery to learn about the conversion of grains to scotch whiskey in contrast to the Kentucky product, bourbon whiskey, and Arran Aromatics, a company that formulates and creates perfumes, candles and toiletry products. In the city of Edinburgh, in the shadow of the stately and imposing Edinburgh Castle, the group visited a Saturday morning Farmer’s Market. Fresh produce and value-added products, mostly from the local Taken in Edinburgh, Scotland, May 15, 2011, just outside of the Edinburgh Dungeon area, were available for purchase.

  • Legends of the West
    1 This novel is dedicated to Vivian Towlerton For the memories of good times past 2 This novel was written mostly during the year 2010 CE whilst drinking the fair-trade coffee provided by the Caffé Vita and Sizizis coffee shops in Olympia, Washington Most of the research was conducted during the year 2010 CE upon the free Wi-Fi provided by the Caffé Vita and Sizizis coffee shops in Olympia, Washington. My thanks to management and staff. It was good. 3 Excerpt from Legends of the West: Spotted Tail said, “Now, let me tell you the worst thing about the Wasicu, and the hardest thing to understand: They do not understand choice...” This caused a murmur of consternation among the Lakota. Choice was choice. What was not there to not understand? Choice is the bedrock tenet of our very view of reality. The choices a person makes are quite literally what makes that person into who they are. Who else can tell you how to be you? One follows one’s own nature and one’s own inner voice; to us this is sacrosanct. You can choose between what makes life beautiful and what makes life ugly; you can choose whether to paint yourself in a certain manner or whether to wear something made of iron — or, as was the case with the famous Cheyenne warrior Roman Nose — you could choose to never so much as touch iron. In battle you choose whether you should charge the enemy first, join the main thrust of attack, or take off on your own and try to steal his horses.

From Pulp Hero to Superhero: Culture, Race, and Identity in American Popular Culture, 1900-1940 Adventure characters in the pulp magazines and comic books of the early twentieth century reflected development in the ongoing American fascination with heroic figures. 1 As the United States declared the frontier closed, established icons such as the cowboy became disconnected from everyday American experience and were supplanted by new popular adventure fantasies with heroes whose adventures stylized the struggle of the American everyman with a modern industrialized, heterogeneous world. The challenges posed by an urbanizing society to traditional masculinity, threatened to a weaken men’s physical and mental form and to disrupt the United States’ vigorous transformation from uncivilized frontier to modern society.2 Many middle-class social commentators embraced modern industrialization while warning against “sexless” reformers who sought to constrain modern society’s excesses through regulations design to prevent social exploitation, environmental spoilage, and urban disorder.
