PAUL-- Parents in New York City, Washington, D.C., Hawaii and New Mexico feel the most pressure to throw over-the-top birthday parties for their children, according to results released today by the organization Birthdays Without Pressure. Los Angeles, San Diego and Austin, Texas also rank high when it comes to out of control birthdays. Two months ago University of Minnesota College of Education and Human Development professor Bill Doherty and a group of St. Paul parents launched the Birthdays Without Pressure project to initiate a national conversation about children's birthday party excesses. Results of the group's online polling show what communities in the United States put the most pressure on parents to deliver extravagant and expensive parties. A key component of Birthdays Without Pressure is their Web site where parents can find and share advice for toning down parties and making parties manageable. They can also take a personal birthday pressure quiz and rate the community pressure they feel when it comes to birthdays, Doherty said. The community birthday pressure score can range from zero to 20, with this breakdown: Zero-- birthday parties are pressure free; one to three-- low pressure community; four to six-- moderate pressure (parties are an area of stress in this community; seven to 10 -- high pressure community (a land of hyper-parenting); 11-15 -­ extreme pressure community (need for a counterrevolution one birthday party at a time); 16-20 -- off the chart: have a moving company on speed dial. In rating their communities, people in New York City ranked offthe chart in community pressure with a score of 17. Washington, D.C., Hawaii and New Mexico gave their states 12 points, which places the communities with extreme pressure. With 11 points, Delaware, Florida, Georgia, Mississippi, Oklahoma and Wyoming are also at extreme pressure. - more- r UNIVERSITY OF MINNESOTA With a score of 10, California, Connecticut, Kansas, Nebraska, New Hampshire, New Jersey, New York, Pennsylvania, Texas and Virginia are high pressure communities. Minnesota received a score of nine points. Meanwhile, Arkansas and Oregon had seven points which is low pressure, but South Carolina rated as having the lowest pressure with six points. Of the 3,252 parents who responded to a poll on the Birthdays Without Pressure Web site: • 71 percent of parents say that parties in their community cost too much and that kids receive too many presents. • 63 percent of parents say parties have too many guests. • 69 percent say gift bags are a pain. • 58 percent say they worry that their parties are not as good as those of their neighbors. • 73 percent say they feel exhausted when the party is over. Evidence of gluttonous birthday parties are everywhere, according to parents from around the United States who have contacted the Birthdays Without Pressure group. "We are hearing from parents who live in small towns and parents who live in the largest cities in our nation and they all are feeling the same pressure when it comes to birthday parties," said Linda Zwicky, a parent leader in the Birthdays Without Pressure group. "They want support for their values and ideas on how to scale things back in their communities." Some examples of over-the-top birthdays include: • A Chicago party invitation requests a gift worth at least $3 5. The mother explains that last year her child received some gifts worth only $10, which did not even cover her costs. • Parents are now registering for gifts on Amazon.com for their children's birthday parties. • A $250,000 birthday party in Florida for a 7-year-old girl, with limos, an adult party with alcohol, the grand ballroom for the kids, helicopter rides, horses and wild animals. • The Associated Press reports on a Florida family that rented a cougar for their 7-year-old's birthday party. The result was not funny: the animal mauled a 4-year-old guest. • A mother works hard to plan a nice at-home party for her 8-year-old daughter, who announces at the end, "It ~UNIVERSITY OF MINNESOTA just wasn't magic enough." "We're raising overindulged children who then feel entitled to more and more and bigger and bigger," Doherty said. "This trend is creating more stress for parents and their stress effects children and in tum, creates difficulties for families."

A University of Minnesota-Crookston (UMC) researcher might have found a way to do that. According to Harouna Maiga, UMC department of agriculture professor, substituting some ofthe soybean meal and all of the beet pulp in the animal's diet with mustard bran increased daily milk production by about 4 pounds and did not change milk composition or feed intake. The mustard bran did not cause any changes in milk flavor or color, and, it is a less expensive option than other feeds; something that could be especially important as more feed crops are used for biofuels like ethanol. "The study concludes that mustard bran could be used to lower feed cost and increase milk production," said Maiga. "It could be fed to beef cattle, sheep and swine." Mustard bran is a by-product of mustard milling. It is the outer-layer of whole mustard seed. Maiga is available to answer questions about the use of mustard bran as a replacement feed for dairy cattle. ..

Universities collaborate to transform approaches to working across disciplines ,... MINNEAPOLIS I ST. PAUL-- University of Minnesota Provost Thomas Sullivan announced today the formation of a multi-institutional consortium aimed at bridging areas of academic discovery to address issues of global significance and forge a leadership position for the university in fostering interdisciplinary initiatives. Consortium members will convene at a fall2008 conference, "Fostering Interdisciplinary Inquiry," hosted by the U of M, that will bring together universities from across the country to discuss challenges, opportunities and best practices in interdisciplinary collaboration. "The discoveries of tomorrow will depend on our ability to cross the boundaries that have traditionally separated fields of study," said Sullivan. "The nation's top research universities are all struggling with how to institutionalize this kind of collaboration, which will be integral to the higher education landscape in years to come." Sullivan emphasized the importance of maintaining strong disciplines while focusing new attention and energy on working across traditional boundaries. Expanding interdisciplinary inquiry is an important part of the university's strategic positioning initiative to become one of the top three public research universities in the world, Sullivan said. Collaborating across disciplinary boundaries is often challenging due to the traditional organization of colleges and departments. A primary goal of the conference is to launch a peer-oriented, multi-institutional network of university leaders to assess the institutional policies and practices required to foster interdisciplinary initiatives and promote teaching, research, training and academic programs across disciplines. Graduate School Dean and Vice Provost Gail Dubrow, who has taken the lead on the project, said, "Not only will this further the mission of the University of Minnesota, but there is also a widespread recognition that interdisciplinary inquiry is key to identifying solutions to many 21st century problems." It will lead to advances in such areas as renewable energy, sustainable design and a better understanding of cognitive development, she said. - more- .. UNIVERSITY OF MINNESOTA said. The new initiative brings together top public and private research universities from around the country, including the University of California, Berkeley, the University of Michigan, and the University of Wisconsin- Madison, as well as Brown University and the University of Pennsylvania. Each university has agreed to conduct a self-study assessment during the 2007-08 academic year. The University of Minnesota will take the lead in developing the self-study instrument, in analyzing and in reporting the findings from each institution and will convene the participants at the fall 2008 conference. "This is an area of distinction in which the University of Minnesota is prepared to lead among distinguished peers," said Sullivan. "We're grateful our colleagues across the country have agreed to join us in this bold endeavor."

    PART I: General information Name of Institution: Syracuse University Name of Unit: S.I. Newhouse School of Public Communications Year of Visit: 2015 Executive Summary: • The School’s skills courses comply with the ACEJMC mandate of no more than 20 students per section. • The Newhouse School’s Mission Statement is a part of its Strategic Plan, which is written to cover all academic programs in the School. It reinforces the School’s commitment to graduating communication leaders with a solid liberal arts foundation. Graduate students are selected in keeping with this mandate; the vast majority of them come to the School with baccalaureate education that has a focus on the liberal arts. Their rigorous professional Master’s education is designed in part to build from that liberal arts foundation. From there, the mandate that we graduate leaders who are agile, ethically responsible, who embrace diversity and who can demonstrate cutting-edge skill requires the Professional Master’s programs to concentrate uniquely rigorous activities into their shorter and more intense time frames. 1.

Hansen Foundation “Encounters with women who can change worlds” Joan B. Kroc Institute for Peace & Justice LUCY STONE 1818-1893 Now all we need is to continue to speak the truth fearlessly, and “ we shall add to our number those who will turn the scale to the side of equal and full justice in all things. ” October 5, 2011 Welcome to “Women, Media, Revolution,” It has been said that the one who writes the stories determines history. Women correspondents, directors and citizen journalists who are invested in capturing the broader array of community voices can open doors to different futures leading away from the seemingly endless cycles and costs of conflict. Women and men sensitive to gender-inclusive perspectives commonly take steps toward justice by documenting more than the facades and remnants of events. In doing so, they take risks, confront – and occasionally influence – conventional reporting or move beyond the comfortably entrenched traditional authorities who remain unable or unwilling to let go of habitual points of view. We applaud brave, committed storytellers, many who are gathered here for “Women, Media, Revolution.” While representing various forms of media, each has been successful in locating humanity in the myriad of troubles they have covered. Disclosing the stories of the venerable and vulnerable, the powerful and the humble, and those who risk everything in revolutionary calls for justice, these storytellers are courageous themselves.

    Selected Papers of Internet Research 15: The 15th Annual Meeting of the Association of Internet Researchers Daegu, Korea, 22-24 October 2014 PRESENCE, PRIVACY, AND PSEUDONYMITY Sonja Vivienne University of Queensland Tama Leaver Curtin University Brady Robards University of Tasmania Emily van der Nagel Swinburne Institute of Technology This panel seeks to map the intersections and contradictions evident among communities and individuals at the cutting edge of negotiations over digital, networked ‘presence’. Presence has multiple definitions - the fact of existing or being present; a person or thing that exists but is not seen; a group of people exerting an influence in a particular time or place; and finally the impressive manner or appearance of a person. These variations in meaning reveal issues at the heart of digitally mediated life. Routine and everyday engagements with digital platforms and technologies are catalysing profound cultural shifts in how we understand identity performance in public, and personal privacy. Concepts like networked identity (boyd, 2011) and digital dualisms (Jurgenson, 2012) are breaking down binary oppositions between face to face and digitally mediated experiences. People laugh ironically at the use of ‘IRL’, wondering what this really means. Similarly, a growing awareness that anonymity is an impossibility and that pseudonymity is contingent, are causing us to rethink privacy. The early days of the internet fostered dreams of democratic self-representation and correlated social change. However, the correlation between online sharing of personal (sometimes private) stories, like those hosted by ‘It Gets Better’ for example, and greater public acceptance or decreased face-to-face persecution, is disputable to say the least.
