  • Songs of the Century
    Songs of the Century T. Austin Graham hat is the time, the season, the historical context of a popular song? When is it most present in the world, best able Wto reflect, participate in, or construct some larger social reality? This essay will consider a few possible answers, exploring the ways that a song can exist in something as brief as a passing moment and as broad as a century. It will also suggest that when we hear those songs whose times have been the longest, we might not be hearing “songs” at all. Most people are likely to have an intuitive sense for how a song can contract and swell in history, suited to a certain context but capable of finding any number of others. Consider, for example, the various uses to which Joan Didion is able to put music in her generation-defining essay “Slouching Towards Bethlehem,” a meditation on drifting youth and looming apocalypse in the days of the Haight-Ashbury counterculture. Songs create a powerful sense of time and place throughout the piece, with Didion nodding to the Grateful Dead, Jefferson Airplane, Quick- silver Messenger Service, and “No Milk Today” by Herman’s Hermits, “a song I heard every morning in the cold late spring of 1967 on KRFC, the Flower Power Station, San Francisco.”1 But the music that speaks most directly and reverberates most widely in the essay is “For What It’s Worth,” the Buffalo Springfield single whose chiming guitar fifths and famous chorus—“Stop, hey, what’s that sound / Everybody look what’s going down”—make it instantly recognizable nearly five decades later.2 To listen to “For What It’s Worth” on Didion’s pages is to hear a song that exists in many registers and seems able to suffuse everything, from a snatch of conversation, to a set of political convictions, to nothing less than “The ’60s” itself.

Public Services programs at Valdosta State are designed to aid residents of south Georgia in continuing their education. The personnel in Public Services desire to learn of the needs and interests of area residents that can be met best by the university. Efforts are made to identify resources located in the institution and in the community to develop educational programs and services to meet community needs and interests. There are three major divisions in Public Services: Continuing Education, Distance Education, and Satellite Services. CONTINUING EDUCATION (NON-CREDIT COURSES) The Continuing Education Division oversees professional development programs, leisure-type programs, and adult and children’s programs, for persons in Valdosta and surrounding communities. The division presents seminars and courses for persons in professions, business, and industry. Some courses are developed especially to meet the licensing or certification requirements of specific professional groups. Continuing Edu- cation activities also includes Learning in Retirement, Children’s Programs, and Personal Enrichment Classes. The Southern Association of Colleges and Schools requires the use of the CEU (Continuing Education Unit) by member institutions and provides this definition: “One continuing education unit is ten contact hours of participation in an organized, continu- ing education experience under responsible sponsorship, capable direction, and qualified instruction.” Continuing Education administers the CEU procedures for the University.

    POINT OF VIEW: EXAMINING THE MAGAZINE INDUSTRY STANDARD A Thesis presented to the Faculty of the Graduate School at the University of Missouri In Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree Master of Arts by CRISTINA DAGLAS John Fennell, Thesis Supervisor MAY 2009 © Copyright by Cristina Daglas 2009 All Rights Reserved The undersigned, appointed by the dean of the Graduate School, have examined the thesis entitled POINT OF VIEW : EXAMINING THE MAGAZINE INDUSTRY STANDARD presented by Cristina Daglas, a candidate for the degree of master of arts, and hereby certify that, in their opinion, it is worthy of acceptance. Professor John Fennell Professor Jennifer Rowe Professor Amanda Hinnant Professor Maureen Stanton ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS I am immensely grateful to my thesis chair, John Fennell, who believed in both the necessity for and the feasibility of this research. When many doubted the ability to interview prominent magazine professionals, John provided support and guidance while always keeping setbacks and successes in perspective. John has been a mentor from first semester of graduate school when I enrolled in his writing course, and I am so pleased that I could pursue a topic I am incredibly passionate about with his guidance. However, this research would naturally not be what it is without the rest of my fabulous committee. Jennifer Rowe, my other mentor, adviser and friend, was an invaluable resource, as she provided big-picture edits, line edits and, most importantly, support. Amanda Hinnant provided advice in the earliest days of thesis conception as well as the scholarly perspective necessary in any academic work. Maureen Stanton was also a wonderful resource, imparting an outside, nonfiction mindset that added another dimension to this journalistic thesis.

  • Bedrock and Surficial Geology in the Greater Belfast-Brooks Area, South-Central Maine
    Geological Society of Maine 2016 Summer Field Trip Bedrock and surficial geology in the greater Belfast-Brooks area, south-central Maine David P. West, Jr. Middlebury College Woodrow B. Thompson Maine Geological Survey Roger LeB. Hooke University of Maine Stephen Pollock University of Southern Maine Field Trip Objective On this field trip we will highlight prominent bedrock and surficial features in the general area between Belfast and Brooks, Maine. Many of the individual stops visited will allow for observations of features related to both the bedrock geologic history (hundreds of millions of years old), and the much more recent glacial history (tens of thousands of years old). The bedrock portion of the trip will provide opportunities to observe representative units within four major tectonic terranes that are juxtaposed in this region (St. Croix, Fredericton, Passagassawakeag, and Casco Bay belts). Additionally, aspects of the deformation, metamorphic, and plutonic history of the region will be examined. Finally, a spectacular traverse across the high strain portion of the regionally extensive Norumbega fault system will reveal a wide variety of fault rocks (e.g., mylonite, cataclasite, pseudotachylyte), and demonstrate a complex history of superimposed faulting. The glacial portion of the trip will include localities showing impressive glacial grooves revealing ice flow directions, erratic boulders eroded from till, a new glaciomarine delta exposure, and an esker pit. Additionally there will be stops that “ground-truth” the new stunning Lidar imagery in the area that has provided evidence of widespread removal of upland till by subglacial meltwater streams which, near the glacier margin, are associated with esker nets.

    Center for Strategic and International Studies Military Strategy Forum: Admiral Michelle J. Howard on the Cyber Cold War Speaker: Admiral Michelle J. Howard, Vice Chief of Naval Operations, United States Navy Moderator: Dr. Kathleen H. Hicks Senior Vice President, Henry A. Kissinger Chair, and Director, International Security Program, CSIS Location: CSIS, Washington, D.C. Time: 9:00 a.m. EDT Date: Friday, September 25, 2015 Transcript By Superior Transcriptions LLC www.superiortranscriptions.com KATHLEEN H. HICKS: Perhaps you’re here to see Admiral Howard, who’s the vice CNO, and I’m going to give a quick introduction and turn the floor over to her. She does have a hard stop, so we’re going to do a little less Q&A, probably, today than we normally do. But I promise I will take it from my time and not your time. Admiral Howard is a 1982 graduate of the U.S. Naval Academy. She, early in her career, was awarded the Secretary of Navy-Navy League Captain Winifred Collins Award, given to one woman officer a year for outstanding leadership. She’s had a series of command – command positions – excuse me. As commander of USS Rushmore in March of 1999, she became the first African-American woman to command a ship in the U.S. Navy. In 2009 she deployed to the CENTCOM theater, where she commanded Task Force 151, the multinational counterpiracy effort, and Task Force 51, expeditionary forces. And in 2010, she was the Maritime Task Force commander for BALTOPS under 6th Fleet. She has served in a variety of positions on the OPNAV staff and in Joint Staff, where I first met her, and of course now serves as the 38th vice chief of naval operations.
