(Photo credit: American Red Cross) Opposite Page: Painting of Harris Fire by Kate Dore, based on photo by Wes Schultz. 2 Introductory Statement In October of 2007, a series of large wildfires ignited and burned hundreds of thousands of acres in Southern California. The fires displaced nearly one million residents, destroyed thousands of homes, and sadly took the lives of 10 people. Shortly after the fire siege began, a team was commissioned by CAL FIRE, the U.S. Forest Service and OES to gather data and measure the response from the numerous fire agencies involved. This report is the result of the team’s efforts and is based upon the best available information and all known facts that have been accumulated. In addition to outlining the fire conditions leading up to the 2007 siege, this report presents statistics —including availability of firefighting resources, acreage engaged, and weather conditions—alongside the strategies that were employed by fire commanders to create a complete day-by-day account of the firefighting effort. The ability to protect the lives, property, and natural resources of the residents of California is contingent upon the strength of cooperation and coordination among federal, state and local firefighting agencies.

  • A Genealogy of Wildland Firefighters' 10 Standard Fire Orders
    Communication Monographs Vol. 74, No. 4, December 2007, pp. 415442 The Story Behind an Organizational List: A Genealogy of Wildland Firefighters’ 10 Standard Fire Orders Jennifer A. Ziegler To invigorate research on the dialectic between lists and stories in communication, this study recommends adding context back to text by focusing on the enduring problems these forms are summoned to solve. A genealogy of one significant organizational list, wildland firefighters’ 10 Standard Fire Orders, shows how a list’s meaning resides less on its face and more in the discourses surrounding it, which can change over time. Vestiges of old meanings and unrelated cultural functions heaped upon a list can lead to conflicts, and can make the list difficult to scrap even when rendered obsolete for its intended purpose. Reconciling these layers of meanings and functions is thus not a technical problem but rather a rhetorical one. Implications for communication research are addressed. Keywords: Organizational Communication; Dialectic of List and Story; Genealogy; Organizational Rhetoric; Wildland Firefighting The guest list. The to-do list. The Ten Commandments. The 12 Steps. The short list of candidates. The pilot’s checklist. A-list celebrities. The FBI’s Most Wanted List. U. S. News & World Report list of Best Colleges and Universities. The Book of Lists. Craisglist.org. Everyday lists like these and others shown in Table 1 play significant roles in our lives, and scholars have begun to study the list and its relationship to communication in a variety of contexts: communication theory (Hawes, 1976), interpersonal Jennifer A. Ziegler (PhD, University of Colorado) is an Assistant Professor in the Department of Communication, Valparaiso University.

  • Production Notes
    PRODUCTION NOTES “This town – it’s all secrets. Everyone knows something you don’t” 1 The Town is a three-part contemporary drama from Big Talk Productions starring BAFTA winner Andrew Scott alongside an outstanding ensemble cast including Julia McKenzie, Charlotte Riley, Gerard Kearns, Kelly Adams and Martin Clunes. The first television series by Laurence Olivier award-winning playwright Mike Bartlett, The Town follows a shocking incident within an otherwise normal family. Mark Nicholas (Scott) returns to the town where he grew up to find his grandmother Betty (McKenzie) is now living in his childhood bedroom and he barely knows his teenage sister Jodie (Avigail Tlalim). Mark is drawn back into the life he left behind. Hardest of all is meeting his first love Alice (Riley), now married with a child. Thrust into the complicated lives of his former neighbours, it’s not surprising there are awkward moments as Mark becomes reacquainted with his past, including his old friends ‘down the pub’ Lucy (Kelly Adams), Carly (Aisling Bea) and Jeff (Sam Troughton). Running parallel with Mark’s story, we get to know the town Mayor, alcohol-soaked Len (Clunes). With his world falling in around him, Len is stumbling from one PR disaster to another. As we get to know the community, we’re also introduced to the enigmatic Inspector Franks (Douglas Hodge) from the local police force whose links to the family are stronger than it first appears... Mark struggles to decide whether he should stay permanently to be with his family. But a new life is difficult to build in the place you used to call home and now feels like you barely know it.

INTRODUCTION The collections of the Austin History Center contain valuable materials about Austin’s African American communities, although there is much that remains to be documented. The materials in this bibliography are arranged by collection unit of the Austin History Center. Within each collection unit, items are arranged in shelf-list order. This bibliography is one in a series of updates of the original 1979 bibliography. It reflects the addition of materials to the Austin History Center based on the recommendations and donations of many generous individuals and support groups. The Austin History Center card catalog supplements the online computer catalog by providing analytical entries to information in periodicals and other materials in addition to listing collection holdings by author, title, and subject. These entries, although indexing ended in the 1990s, lead to specific articles and other information in sources that would otherwise be time-consuming to find and could be easily overlooked.

  • Boise College--An Idea Grows
    l I J A I BOISE COLLEGE An Idea Grows BY EUGENE B. CHAFFEE COPYRIGHTED 1970 BY EUGENE B. CHAFFEE Printed by SYMS-YORK Company Boise, Idaho U.S.A. Introduction The writing of the history of Boise College resulted from the meeting with the Board of Trustees immediately after my return from a six months sabbatical in Europe, June 1, 1967. The Board was unanimous in the request that this be the major effort of my new position of Chancellor. The writing of such a story offers the possibility of either too much subjectivity or too much objectivity when one considers that I have been President of the College for 31 years and Chancellor for almost 3 years. There is, of course, the fact that I know personally the problems and events that moved through the growth of this college. I lived Boise College from its inception in 1932 until the arrival of my successor in June of 1967. Few have ever experienced a more challenging period and enjoyed more thoroughly the crises and growth that took place during such a period. My only absence was from June 27, 1942 until my return from World War II on the 15th of September 1945. I have not trusted my memory but have amply studied the accounts of the College in Board of Trustees Minutes, the Idaho Statesman files from the spring of 1932, student and faculty publications, and the Minutes of the Boise Chamber of Commerce. These sources have been supple­ mented by numerous letters from Bishop Barnwell, many students and faculty, and from a large number of conversations in my office with these and others who have visited with me over the events of Boise Junior College and Boise College.
