A peek into summer internships
By Jessica Daniels On July 22, 2016 · Leave a Comment · In Our Students
A couple of summers ago, I was lucky to be able to share a list of students' blogs and for-public-consumption Twitter feeds (not all still active) that a student had collected. I tried to accomplish the same thing this year, but, alas, did not persevere enough to accumulate much of a list. Still, I'd like to share what I have.
MALD student, Sydney, is writing about her summer as part of the Blakeley Fellowship program. As Sydney notes, she's spending her "summer in the winter," in Santiago, Chile. You can read introductions to all of the 2015 (last summer's) Blakeley Fellows here.
Another MALD student, Laura, notes that she's at UN Women in New York and she tweets "periodically about UN Women's work as chair of the Global Migration Group."
And last, three students are Advocacy Project Peace Fellows. You can access blogs by all of the Peace Fellows, or go directly to the pages for Allyson (who is in Jordan), Megan (in Nepal), and Mattea (in Greece). Poking through the list of past Peace Fellows will tell you what other Fletcher/Tufts students have done in their work. Fletcher's relationship with the Advocacy Project goes back to 2004.

Semester-like atmosphere in the building
By Jessica Daniels On July 19, 2016 · Leave a Comment · In About Fletcher
We're more than halfway through the summer stretch between Commencement and Orientation and this week has been noteworthy for a sudden flurry of semester-like activity! Well, maybe that's an exaggeration, but there are two groups of students passing this way and that through the Hall of Flags. The first is the GMAP class of July 2016, which is midway through its final residency and will graduate this Saturday, July 23. But first, the group of 37 students needs to complete coursework and defend theses.
Also on campus now are 30 officials from the Greek Ministries of Defense and Foreign Affairs who are participating in the Leadership Program in Advanced Diplomacy and Defense, offered in partnership with with the Stavros Niarchos Foundation. The participants arrived last week and will be here for four weeks in all. The focus of the program is to provide strategic level thinking on major global shifts, as well as an opportunity to strengthen essential skills for diplomacy. They will be at Fletcher through August 5.
And spending their days at Tufts, but not in Fletcher, are incoming MALD, MIB, and LLM students who are polishing up their academic English skills. They do meet weekly for a conversation and orientation class at Fletcher, but the majority of their time is spent in classrooms elsewhere on campus.
There's one last group who will be at Fletcher this summer, and that's the new GMAP class that will start their program on August 1 and continue until their own graduation in July 2017. In addition to the distance learning they will do throughout the year, they will also meet in Malta in January.
Finally, my Social List "digest" today consisted of two messages containing 30 community emails. That's about four times as many emails as have been turning up in the digests lately. What woke everyone up? First was a spirited discussion of the U.S. presidential election. And second was a student's sharing of an article that says the lawyer representing the Philippines in a recent maritime law case against China was a Tufts graduate. Much informative discussion of the nature of courts, as well as of trying cases where only one side is represented, ensued.
All together, the increase in activity makes us less lonely, but also makes me think it will be nice to have the students back next month.

Fumi and Ryota
By Jessica Daniels On July 18, 2016 · Leave a Comment · In About Fletcher, Our Alumni
Fletcher couples are just the best. I can't keep up with all of them, but I love when I'm lucky enough to hear about their weddings. Recently, Liz told me about a newly married MIB couple. Fumi, F16, and Ryota, F15, met during her first year and his second year in the program. Ryota came to Fletcher from the Japanese Nuclear Regulation Authority and the Ministry of Economy, Trade and Industry, to which he has since returned. After graduating just last May, Fumi has joined the Sasakawa Peace Foundation. Both Ryota and Fumi were very active members of the Fletcher community, as you might guess from their Fletcher flag cake.
Naturally, Kristen (who, among the Admissions staff, works most closely with MIB applicants and students) takes full credit for bringing them together and their subsequent love story. The rest of the Admissions Staff simply wishes them all the best in their life together!

First-Year Alumni: Dallin finds his new career path
By Jessica Daniels On July 15, 2016 · Leave a Comment · In Our Alumni
Unless an additional report surprises me by popping into my inbox, today we'll close out the updates from the Class of 2015. The final word comes from Dallin Van Leuven, whose post-Fletcher job didn't appear immediately after graduation, but was the right opportunity when it did arrive.
Greetings from Beirut!
The year following my graduation may have taken me halfway across the world, but it has carried my career a lot further. Granted, the job search was longer and more difficult than I anticipated, but Fletcher was a big help throughout: from helping me leverage the networking I had done while in Boston to find open positions and get interviews; to receiving (at times last-minute) support from the Office of Career Services on my CV, cover letters, interviews, and salary negotiations; to giving me consultancy opportunities while I looked for the right job (or any relevant position, for that matter).
One perfect example of this support would be the continued mentorship of Professor Dyan Mazurana. We, along with fellow Fletcher alumna Rachel Gordon, finalized our collaboration on a book chapter, "Analysing the Recruitment and Use of Foreign Men and Women in ISIL through a Gender Perspective," which was published in February in the book Foreign Fighters under International Law and Beyond. Moreover, Professor Mazurana nominated me for a Visiting Fellowship with the Feinstein International Center. There, we were able to continue working together on an important issue: conflict-related sexual and gender-based violence in African conflicts. I will forever be grateful for the support Fletcher's staff and faculty have given me both during and after my time there.
Most of my last year was spent in my home state of Idaho. It was a great opportunity to be with family and old friends in a beautiful place while I searched for that elusive first post-Fletcher job. Before starting my MALD, I worked in education in Egypt. Not long after I arrived, the Arab Spring came to Egypt, and it cemented in me a desire to work in countries experiencing conflict and transition, focused on alleviating the negative effects of conflict. Fletcher, for me, was the perfect place to make that adjustment in my career's trajectory.
With luck and perseverance, I finally found it. After New Year's, I moved to Lebanon to begin work with Search for Common Ground, the world's oldest and largest peacebuilding organization. Here, I work on projects designed to build a stronger civil society and better social relations across dividing lines. I research conflict drivers and lessons learned from similar projects, sometimes advising on programs in other countries or on the design of future initiatives. I love it!
As a testament to the reach of Fletcher's network, I was able to talk with a Fletcher colleague who interned here last summer to figure out if the office really was a place I would want to work. I've been able to "pay it forward" by helping facilitate a new Fletcher student's interview; she started her internship here last month. I run into Fletcher alumni all of the time — through work, at social gatherings, and as they pass through Beirut. In fact, while standing in the visa line during my first arrival to the city, I ran into someone I graduated with who is also living and working here. The most remarkable of these meetings was definitely with a very successful alumna who is working for peace here in the region. She beamed at hearing I was a fellow graduate and happily exclaimed, "Fletcher ruined my life!" Thanks to her experience as a student, she left a successful career in the private sphere to pursue a successful, but more challenging, career in peacebuilding.
While "ruined" probably isn't the term I would normally use, I can certainly agree with the sentiment. Thank you, Fletcher, for "ruining" my life and putting me on the path I am on now!

First-Year Alumni: Diane resumes telling her story
By Jessica Daniels On July 14, 2016 · Leave a Comment · In Our Alumni
One of the opportunities I most value about my job is following students from their application phase, through their time at Fletcher, and then on to their post-Fletcher life. A good example would be my connection with Diane Broinshtein, whom I first met when I was her application interviewer back in August 2012. Then, after she had started her Fletcher classes, I reached out to her to write for the blog, and she was a trusty friend of Admissions throughout her two years in the MALD program. Naturally, I've asked her to write an update on her first year post-Fletcher. Those wondering what classes prepared Diane for her current work might want to read her Annotated Curriculum.
It's hard to believe that a year has just passed since I finished at Fletcher. In many ways I feel like I never left, and in other other ways Fletcher feels like a lifetime ago.
In my last post, shortly after I graduated in 2015, I explained that I was joining GRM International as part of their Young Professionals Program. I moved from Boston to Brisbane, Australia and began my operations rotation. On my second day of work, the company rebranded itself as Palladium, in order to unite a number of different brands under a new umbrella. Because the company now included business areas other than those it did when I was first hired, the reorganization provided with me with some new and interesting opportunities.
In January, I moved to our London office to start a rotation with our Strategy Execution Consulting group. While it is not an area I considered working in prior to Fletcher, I felt the diversity of my Fletcher education prepared me perfectly to jump into the team. In this role I helped bridge the divide between the international development side of the business and the strategy consulting side. I found myself constantly going back to skills, knowledge, and coursework I learned at Fletcher to assist me whenever I was confronted with a new and challenging task.
My new rotation has taken me to Bristol, UK to join our Environment and Natural Resources team, working specifically on humanitarian projects. It's nice to be working again in a sector I know well and that I concentrated on in my studies. A year out of Fletcher, three cities and three roles later, I have just begun to test the limits of what Fletcher taught me — I find myself using Fletcher in some way each day.
After Bristol, I am not sure where I will end up, but I know for certain that wherever it is, there will be a Fletcher network to support me. Being part of the alumni community has been a wonderful experience. In Brisbane I managed to squeeze in two visits from Fletcher friends, one who was working in Canberra and another working in Papua New Guinea. But when I moved to London, I was even more connected. London is a place where people are always passing through, so there were many Fletcher catch-ups over dinner. I'm already trying to encourage fellow Fletcher grads to visit me in Bristol, but if they don't come to me, I'll see them when I travel in Europe.

Environment Panel, tonight
By Jessica Daniels On July 12, 2016 · Leave a Comment · In About Fletcher
Even as I noted yesterday how quiet it is at Fletcher this month, there are a few things going on around here. First, there's a group of diplomats on campus for a short-term executive program. And second, there's a panel in ASEAN Auditorium this evening on women in the environment field. The panel will be moderated by Professor Barbara Kates-Garnick. Here are all the details.
"The Business of Getting to Clean Energy & Environment"
July 12, 2016 from 5:00-8:30 p.m.
New England Woman in Energy and the Environment (NEWIEE) is hosting the second-annual Women Shaping the Agenda Panel to share ideas and experience related to the practical and business aspects of our clean energy and environment future.
"NEWIEE's panel series strives to provide a forum for the constructive and informative discussion of topics of interest today to environmental and energy professionals," said Beth Barton, NEWIEE Board of Directors President and Partner at Day Pitney LLP. "NEWIEE's goal is to bring together experienced and young professionals from across New England for an open conversation about clean energy and environmental issues for our region and beyond."
Further information and tickets, if still available, can be found on the event page.

First-Year Alumni: Nathaniel's path from music to migration
By Jessica Daniels On July 11, 2016 · Leave a Comment · In Our Alumni
Fletcher's summer quiet continues, and there's little of note happening in the Admissions Office, which makes me especially happy that I can still share updates from the Class of 2015. Today we'll hear from Nathaniel Broekman who, like so many of our students, took an unusual path to, through, and beyond Fletcher.
It's been an odd journey to arrive where I am today. Seven years ago this month I departed New York City, where I had worked for three years as a musician and audio engineer, to spend the next three years with the Peace Corps in Bulgaria. I left the music industry to begin a career in international relations, with the hope of finding my way into the field of migration or international development.
Contrary to the adage, sometimes the best-laid plans do not go awry. Which always surprises me. Just over one year ago, I simultaneously completed a Boren Fellowship in Istanbul and my Fletcher degree. I then landed in Washington DC, from where I write you today. One month ago, I was on a detail to the border of Texas and Mexico, interviewing mothers and children who had just completed the harrowing journey from El Salvador, Guatemala, and Honduras to request asylum.
I work as an Asylum Officer with the Department of Homeland Security, adjudicating the claims of asylum-seekers who have arrived in the United States. In doing so, my colleagues and I make the preliminary determination if an applicant is eligible for asylum under U.S. law, if he/she can be found credible, and whether this individual represents a risk to the security of our country and our community. Although the majority of my interviews are with applicants living in the mid-Atlantic states, the job has to date taken me as far as Atlanta and Texas. I am now preparing for an international detail to take part in our refugee resettlement efforts overseas, be it in El Salvador, Turkey, Nepal or one of a number of countries where refugees are unable to find a durable solution and hope to be resettled in the United States.
When I began this position, the word "refugee" was not yet gracing the front page of nearly every western newspaper, nearly every day. I soon found myself in the center of one of the most important challenges of our generation. There are more displaced persons on the planet today than at any other time since World War II. Many of them are looking to us for help.
Mine is not an easy job, for almost all the reasons you might imagine. But putting aside the emotional roller-coaster and the daily frustrations, I feel fortunate to take part in a program that grants the protection of the United States to those who have lost the protection of their own country. It is an honor to bring these individuals into our community and grant them the refuge they truly need and truly deserve.
The Fletcher School was an integral part of this journey. Most pointedly, my classwork in conflict resolution with Professors Babbitt, Chigas, and Wilkinson, and forced migration with Professor Jacobsen gave me a firm understanding of the global dynamics that brought us to this point, whereas classwork in various areas of international law with Professor Hannum immersed me in the system that gave us the internationally accepted definition of a refugee — a single paragraph from 1951, which guides our daily practice and determines, in part, the fate of millions of human beings. I also took advantage of the opportunity to cross-register at the Harvard Law School, to take a course on migration law with Professor Anker, which has had far more impact on my career today than I had imagined it would at the time. The education I received at Fletcher from these and other courses gave me not only the necessary legal analysis skills to make a proper determination on the merits of a case, but also the political and conflict analysis skills necessary to fully research and understand the dynamics in our applicants' countries of origin. Furthermore, a summer internship with the UN High Commissioner for Refugees in Bosnia-Herzegovina and a seven-month Boren Fellowship in Istanbul, crafting my thesis on Turkish development and humanitarian aid, did not hurt one bit.
Beyond my coursework, Fletcher has brought me into a community that continues to amaze. I was taken aback at the enthusiasm that alumni have for helping their fellow graduates to develop a career. This is especially true here in DC, but was just as true while I was searching for work in Istanbul. Most importantly, many of my closest friends here and across the globe are either fellow classmates from my time in Medford, or alumni from previous years. We have even created a DC alumni branch of the Fletcher band "Los Fletcheros," known locally as "Los Fletcheros Federales." The only major difficulty has been scheduling rehearsals, considering the travel schedules of seven band members who work in international relations. Don't get me wrong, I know that I'm also to blame, but the World Bank keeps sending our guitarist to West Africa at the most inopportune times.
It's been an odd journey to arrive where I am today. I am not sure what I was looking for seven years ago when I left New York City, but I seem to have found it. And for that, I owe The Fletcher School and the Fletcher community a great deal of gratitude.

Sharpen your English listening
By Jessica Daniels On July 7, 2016 · Leave a Comment · In General Admissions News
Are you a non-native English speaker who will start Fletcher studies in September? Or even a non-native English speaker who will apply to Fletcher and other graduate schools in the coming year? Or anyone interested in policy and interesting journalism? Well, this post is for you.
Just before the end of the spring semester, we asked the student community to suggest podcasts that they particularly enjoy or appreciate. Since strong listening comprehension skills are very important to success at Fletcher, we're sharing this list to set you up with material with which to groom your skills. And if your English doesn't need grooming, take these as suggested listening for your commute.
With no further ado, and in no particular order, here is the list, including any description that the student recommenders included.
Created at Fletcher:
Investing in Impact Podcast, created by the Fletcher Social Investment Group.
Broadly Fletcher-related:
UN Dispatch — Mark Leon Goldberg, a graduate of the Tufts undergraduate program, produces a highly professional international affairs podcast that is perfect for aspiring Fletcher students.
Council on Foreign Relations, The World Next Week, recommended by several people, offers a great look at international affairs and comes generally in 30 minute soundbites. And extra points because one co-host is a Fletcher alum!
Foreign Policy Magazine's The E.R.
Harvard Kennedy School's Policycast.
War on the Rocks, described by a student as hit or miss, but worth following.
Revolutions, which focuses on the history of several revolutions (such as the English Civil War, and the American, French, and Haitian revolutions) and how they turned out the way they did.
Vox's The Weeds — a little more wonky and focused primarily on U.S. public policy issues, but interesting analysis of issues nonetheless.
Freakonomics by WNYC Studios – recommended by several people.
Fareed Zakaria GPS by CNN.
BBC Global News Podcast, covers a broad range of international issues.
Start-Up, one of Gimlet Media's podcasts, and the host Lisa Chow is a Fletcher alum!
Students also recommended many shows available through National Public Radio, including:
Wait Wait Don't Tell Me — Recommended by several people as a good window into American culture and a great way to work on American colloquial English.
Fresh Air — Conversational, but many topics that will be studied here.
Serial — The presenter is slow and methodical in her interviews. The most recent season focuses on a former POW in Afghanistan.
And a few others, just for fun:
Stuff You Missed in History Class
Yes, it's July, but we're still catching up with the students who are sharing their stories on the blog. Today, let's read McKenzie's summary of the first half of her experience in the MIB program.
Wow – what a year! I can't believe that this time last year I was telling my former company that I'd be leaving to pursue graduate studies. I had no idea of the types of adventures I was embarking upon when I accepted my offer here. As it is for most of us transitioning out of the work world and back into an academic setting, the fall semester was a bit of an adjustment period for me. I had to calibrate how I would prioritize my time between academics, Fletcher friends, my "pre-Fletcher life," and family.
It seems Fletcher students are up at all hours pursuing all manner of endeavors — from starting businesses to competing in case competitions; from working one, two, and sometimes three jobs or internships in between classes, to traveling abroad to conduct research as part of a capstone project; or from organizing Fletcher's famed Culture Nights to planning and participating in many other school traditions. It is tempting to jump in and sign up for all of these things at once. I didn't go quite that far, but I did spend the fall semester enrolled in five courses, leading an advisory project for the Fletcher Social Investment Group (FSIG), competing as a member of a team in a public equity research challenge, working part-time, researching target firms for my summer internship, and attending the numerous great events that happen at Fletcher. I did this while traveling on weekends for a friend's bachelorette party and wedding, visiting friends and family back home, attending a career trip in New York, and building new friendships with some of my classmates here at Fletcher. Needless to say, I was exhausted by the time winter break rolled around.
At some point after submitting my last final exam on a cold, December morning, I realized that I was running through grad school without fully and completely appreciating the opportunities around me. Over the subsequent weeks, I spent time prioritizing the activities and experiences I wanted to be sure to savor in my two years here and returned to campus in January with a plan to pare down certain commitments to fully value the benefits of others.
As I reflect back on the spring semester, I'm happy to report that I was really satisfied with the new balance I found. Ironically, I was able to feel as though I was doing more by doing less. In January, I took a break from all things academic to go north on the Fletcher ski trip. In February, I went to DC for a two-week intensive training on impact investment and social enterprise management. In March, I began transitioning into my now current role as CEO of FSIG and traveled to India with five close friends from school. In April, I spent more time on the weekends exploring the sights and opportunities offered by Boston. And in May, I survived yet another round of finals, attended the Diplomat's Ball, and played bubble soccer during "Dis-Orientation" week, which is a collection of activities and events between the end of finals and commencement weekend dedicated to celebrating the end of school for second years.
This leads me to an important aspect of this school that makes it so great, yet can also make it challenging: there is a tremendous diversity of opportunity at Fletcher. The hardest (and most rewarding) task for students is to identify the two to three opportunities that best fit with their career and personal goals. I've managed to pare down and focus on those that are most important to me, and it's been interesting to see my classmates go through a similar process. The most exciting aspect, however, is that even as I have defined the activities I would benefit from or enjoy the most, I have friends at Fletcher whose interests led them to entirely different opportunities. While we're each invested in our own "flavor" of Fletcher activities, it's always interesting to learn about the events and happenings of friends studying completely different areas.
With that, my concluding piece of advice for incoming and prospective students is two-fold. First, in addition to the myriad courses that you are undoubtedly considering, know that beyond the classroom are tremendous opportunities to build practical skills and experience in the area of your choice through student activities and clubs. The second is perhaps lost on every generation of ambitious, enthusiastic incoming first years, but to the extent possible, you should prioritize the opportunities most important to you. This is tremendously difficult at Fletcher, but the rewards from focusing on the most essential elements across your classes, activities, jobs, family, and social obligations will make your time at Fletcher that much more special.
I'll leave you with these thoughts for now. Over the summer, I'm heading to South Africa to work with the portfolio companies of a small firm in Johannesburg, helping them to scale up proven business models and transition from small, unstructured startup teams to more developed, growth-oriented companies. I've never been to South Africa, but I am excited to dive in and learn as much as possible about the people and history of one of Africa's largest economies. For those of you joining us next year, enjoy the summer and we'll see you in the fall. For the rest of you, thanks for sharing in my experiences here at Fletcher — I look forward to checking back in September!

33% fewer recommendations
By Jessica Daniels On June 30, 2016 · Leave a Comment · In General Admissions News
Regular readers may remember that, following our spring review of the 2016-17 application process, I said that there wouldn't be significant changes to the application for admission. Turns out I spoke too soon. So here's the news, fresh from our discussions: Applicants for 2017 enrollment (either January or September) in our master's-level programs will no longer need to include three recommendations. Two will suffice.
Why the change? I suppose we're looking to make the process a little easier for everyone. You'll need fewer recommendation letters, and we will have a slight reduction in our reading.
On the other hand, submitting a third letter remains an option for you. Who might want to submit three letters? Well, anyone — but especially applicants with several workplaces in the rear-view mirror. They might choose to submit one academic letter and two letters from supervisors, one from each of two different past positions. But it will no longer be necessary (or, for that matter, encouraged) to include two recommendations from the same experience, such as having two professors both say you're a great student, or having two supervisors from the same workplace say you're a great employee. There's less to be gained (but no penalty!) for the repetition.
Also, I want to be sure to note that the change will not affect applicants to the PhD program — they will still need to submit three letters, with two academic recommendations preferred.
Questions about the new policy? Send them along! Please know, though, that you are still welcome to send a third letter if it will boost your application, and we absolutely will read it.

The Hawks (40-26) wrapped up the fourth-best record in the East and host Boston on Sunday. The defending NBA champion Mavericks (36-30) open the playoffs Saturday at Oklahoma City. Atlanta pounced on the Mavericks right from the tip, making 16 of 23 shots (69.6 percent) in the opening period. Smith had the outside jumper working and seemed to be everywhere, scoring 12 points, grabbing seven rebounds, dishing out five assists and making a steal. A 28-7 run, capped by Willie Green's 3-pointer, pushed the lead to 36-13. Dirk Nowitzki led the Mavericks with 22 points. The Hawks led 60-44 at halftime and held off a brief spurt by the Mavericks at the start of the third quarter, capping a season in which Atlanta improved on its winning percentage from 2011 even after losing All-Star center Al Horford early in the lockout-shortened year. Horford, who is still recovering from pectoral surgery, has ruled himself out for the Boston series but still hopes to play if the Hawks advance from the opening round for the fourth year in a row. The team hasn't gotten past the second round since moving to Atlanta in 1968. Dallas wasn't nearly as dominant coming off its first NBA title, finishing far behind the top seeds in the West, San Antonio and Oklahoma City. With only its first-round opponent in doubt, the Mavericks had little to play for in Atlanta -- and their performance reflected it. Jeff Teague added 17 points for the Hawks, Joe Johnson had 15 and Kirk Hinrich contributed 12. Smith finished with nine rebounds and seven assists. With the home court no longer in doubt, Atlanta was finally able to rest its starters in the final quarter. Green scored 11 points, Ivan Johnson finished with 10 and the Hawks got 33 points overall from their reserves. Rodrigue Beaubois scored 13 points for Dallas. Jason Terry had 11. NOTES: Hawks G Jannero Pargo did not dress because of a sore back. ... Mavericks G Jason Kidd rested up for the playoffs, watching the game from the bench in his street clothes. ... Atlanta coach Larry Drew is sounding less and less optimistic about C Zaza Pachulia (sprained left foot) coming back for the opening round of the playoffs. "Me, personally, I'm not getting my hopes up too high that we'll have him," Drew said. ... This was the only regular-season meeting between the teams. The Mavericks had won the last three games against the Hawks, including a 2-0 sweep of last year's series.

Lost's Elizabeth Mitchell on Being "Drummed Into Shape" at Arts Magnet
Elizabeth Mitchell, emceeing Saturday night's Arts Magnet "homecoming"
In a lil' bit, Pete'll post to DC9 at Night some audio and visual highlights from Saturday night's Booker T. Washington High School for the Performing and Visual Arts homecoming shindig, during which Norah Jones, Edie Brickell and Roy Hargrove paid homage to their alma mater. (Erykah Badu was a last-minute no-show, alas.) Pete's even got an MP3 or two -- of what, can't say at the moment, but do check back. Till then, then, here's a photo Pete managed to snap of the night's emcee, Lost's Elizabeth Mitchell, Class of '88.
Of her return to the hallowed halls, she told Unfair Park: "They told me I was lazy. They told me I was undisciplined. And the funny thing is, I was. So I've spent my entire career trying to regain my footing. But I just told them that, and they said they say that to every student. I was drummed into shape here." And a fine shape it is -- artistically speaking, c'mon. --Robert Wilonsky

The Physical Geography of South Americaby Thomas T. Veblen, Kenneth R. Young, Antony R. Orme
Pub. Date: 01/06/2007
Publisher: Oxford University Press, USA
The Physical Geography of South America, the eighth volume in the Oxford Regional Environments series, presents an enduring statement on the physical and biogeographic conditions of this remarkable continent and their relationships to human activity.

The Physical Geography of South America, the eighth volume in the Oxford Regional Environments series, presents an enduring statement on the physical and biogeographic conditions of this remarkable continent and their relationships to human activity. It fills a void in recent environmental literature by assembling a team of specialists from within and beyond South America in order to provide an integrated, cross-disciplinary body of knowledge about this mostly tropical continent, together with its high mountains and temperate southern cone. The authors systematically cover the main components of the South American environment - tectonism, climate, glaciation, natural landscape changes, rivers, vegetation, animals, and soils. The book then presents more specific treatments of regions with special attributes from the tropical forests of the Amazon basin to the Atacama Desert and Patagonian steppe, and from the Atlantic, Caribbean, and Pacific coasts to the high Andes. Additionally, the continents environments are given a human face by evaluating the roles played by people over time, from pre-European and European colonial impacts to the effects of modern agriculture and urbanization, and from interactions with El Niño events to prognoses for the future environments of the continent.

The novelist and essayist Elizabeth Hardwick is one of contemporary America's most brilliant writers, and "Seduction and Betrayal," in which she considers the careers of women writers as well as the larger question of the presence of women in literature, is her most passionate and concentrated work of criticism. A gallery of unforgettable portraits--of Virginia Woolf and Zelda Fitzgerald, Dorothy Wordsworth and Jane Carlyle--as well as a provocative reading of such works as "Wuthering Heights, Hedda Gabler," and the poems of Sylvia Plath, "Seduction and Betrayal" is a virtuoso performance, a major writer's reckoning with the relations between men and women, women and writing, writing and life.
About the Author
Elizabeth Hardwick is the author of many books and essays, including "Herman Melville" (Penguin Lives), "Sleepless Nights," and "American Fictions," available as a Modern Library paperback. She lives in New York City.
Joan Didion was born in California and lives in New York City. She is the author of five novels and seven previous books of nonfiction.

I watched the full five hours of the Oscars waiting to see and hear Bette Midler sing. She gave the best performance with class and professionalism. She was the highlight of the whole show. There was no mention of her in the news the next day. Was I the only one awake to see her performance?

In the weeks leading up to Beverly Hall's retirement, there was a lot of talk about the now-former Atlanta Public Schools superintendent's legacy. Some will remember Hall as an efficient CEO who fostered strong ties with the local business community and rid schools of leaders who'd proven ineffective. But the nature of the collective unconscious being what it is, it's likely that far more people will remember Hall as the woman who was in charge during the test score cheating scandal.
On June 30, the same day Hall officially retires (and the same day this issue of CL hits the streets), outside investigators are expected to submit their probe into widespread cheating on state standardized tests — the results of which Hall herself has said will be "alarming," and could very well result in the prosecution of multiple APS employees. More alarming still is the accusation that Hall attempted to cover up the cheating by ordering that incriminating documents be destroyed. If her involvement is proven, she could face as much as 10 years in prison.
Whether Hall was complicit in the cheating scandal or whether she was oblivious, the situation doesn't bode well for APS' image abroad. But, ultimately, if it does appear that Hall participated in the cheating — even if after the fact, in the form of a cover-up — neither Hall's legacy nor the reputation of Atlanta's public schools should prevent prosecutors from holding her accountable. Hall should not be let off the hook because it's politically convenient.
When the cheating first came to light, the school system put together a commission — the so-called "blue-ribbon" commission — to investigate the possibility that students' test scores had been altered after the fact. But the media and community cried foul when it was revealed that the commission was composed, for the most part, of people linked to Hall and the district, many of whom might have had a stake in containing a scandal.
There have been several boosterish pieces written about Hall in recent weeks. Former mayor Shirley Franklin wrote on her blog, Blogging While Blue, "As Beverly Hall prepares to leave, I think when she came to Atlanta ... [s]he knew she couldn't do it alone and she reached out to the entire community. It is also fair to say that she has seen victory and defeat. Despite the serious challenges during the last two years, in my opinion the victories far outnumber the defeats." Franklin pointed to a $120 million increase in the amount of money students received in scholarships between 2000 and 2010, an increase in the graduation rate, the $160 million in funds the district received from philanthropic groups, and improvements to the district's facilities.
But there's a distinct possibility that in building the district's reputation, Hall did just as much to besmirch it. And for Atlanta and the district to really learn from this catastrophe, we need to deal with it. That means investigating it thoroughly and taking the culpable to task. If Hall is among them, so be it.

GIANTS 3, ATHLETICS 1 SAN FRANCISCO (AP) -- Giants slugger Pablo Sandoval is still a possibility for Opening Day at Dodger Stadium, and he returned to the lineup as designated hitter in a 3-1 victory against the Oakland Athletics on Friday night. The World Series MVP hadn't played since March 16 because of an inflamed nerve in his right elbow, then returned to cheers each time he stepped into the batter's box. Buster Posey went 2 for 4 against the AL West champion A's just hours after the Giants rewarded the reigning NL MVP and batting champion with a new 167 million, nine-year contract. Gregor Blanco hit a tying RBI triple in the fifth, then Nick Noonan followed with a go-ahead single off A.J. Griffin (2-2). Sandoval went 0 for 2, but what mattered most was that he played at all. DODGERS 9, ANGELS 8 LOS ANGELES (AP) -- A.J. Ellis hit a grand slam against Jason Vargas for his first homer of the spring, Luis Cruz doubled home two runs and the Los Angeles Dodgers beat the Angels 9-8 Friday night in their next-to-last game of spring training. Josh Beckett threw 80 pitches over four innings to get the win despite giving up seven runs on nine hits, including a three-run homer by Mike Trout and a two-run shot by Albert Callaspo. Paco Rodriguez got his second save of the exhibition season, facing one batter and throwing a called third strike past pinch-hitter Luis Jimenez with runners at second and third after Brandon League gave up an infield RBI single by Andrew Romine. Vargas threw 60 pitches in just 1 12 innings, giving up eight runs and seven hits. WHITE SOX 7, BREWERS 2 MILWAUKEE (AP) -- Hector Santiago pitched three perfect innings and the Chicago White Sox beat the Milwaukee Brewers 7-2 on Friday night. Santiago struck out five while throwing 35 pitches. Adam Dunn went 3 for 3 with two RBIs for the White Sox, who finished with 12 hits. Jeff Keppinger and Paul Konerko each drove in a run. Ryan Braun hit a two-run homer for the Brewers. Wily Peralta, Milwaukee's third starter, allowed four runs, two earned, and four hits in 4 13 innings. He struck out three and walked three. RANGERS 5, PADRES 4 SAN ANTONIO (AP) -- Leonys Martin hit the go-ahead single in the sixth inning as the Texas Rangers edged the San Diego Padres 5-4 in exhibition play Friday night in the first baseball game played in the Alamodome. The teams were scheduled to play again Saturday afternoon in a stadium designed for football -- and just about every other sport, except baseball. The configuration meant that the wall down the line in right field was wedged in to measure 285 feet away from home plate, 16 feet high and draped by a tarp that brought reminders of the days in the Metrodome in Minnesota. The Padres didn't need it to build a 2-0 lead through the fourth with long home runs by Will Venable in the No. 2 slot in the first off Rangers starter Alexi Ogando, and Jedd Gyorko in the fourth inning. REDS 2, DIAMONDBACKS 1 PHOENIX (AP) -- Patrick Corbin blanked Cincinnati on two hits through six innings, strengthening his bid for a spot in Arizona's rotation in the Diamondbacks' 2-1 loss to the Reds on Friday night. The left-hander, competing with Randall Delgado to be the D-backs' No. 5 starter, struck out seven and walked two. Bronson Arroyo, whose previous outing ended when he was struck in his pitching hand by a line drive, gave up a run on Jason Kubel's homer, scattering seven hits with one strikeout in six innings. Ryan Ludwick got both hits off Corbin, a first-inning single and a fourth-inning double. Kubel, batting .150 for the spring going into the game, hit his second home run of the preseason.

TravelPod Member ReviewsHilton Trinidad and Conference Centre Port of Spain
Very pleased with this hotel! Our early arrival request (9:30am) was accommodated with a smile. Staff were uniformly courteous, efficient, and helpful - suggesting an excellent training culture. The restaurant was very good, but not cheap (lunch was $50 US.). Rooms were excellent - comfortable, quiet and well equipped. Prior to our stay we read reviews suggesting that the hotel was "run down" - an unfair assessment, in my view.

Historical Traveler Reviews Hilton Trinidad and Conference Centre Port of Spain
Scary then nice....
I stayed at the Hilton Trinidad over the Thanksgiving weekend. Let me start by saying that I have stayed at many hotels in many different countries and so I feel I know a thing or two about them. Anyway I booked the hotel on Hotwire for $85 US per night which is great because through Expedia, Hilton or over the phone it would have cost $ 130 per night. When I checked in they put me in room 6...something and it was scary! The balcony rail was shaky and the room to left off the balcony was condemed and they used it for storage. There was no view from the room except for a big tree. The room itself had a musky smell, a dirty green shaggy carpet, a small outdated bathroom. The room felt like a motel off the side of a highway. Even the hallway was gloomy and musky. After 1 night I decided that even though I was paying $85 a night I still deserved better, I went up to the front desk to discuss my scary room with them and they agreed that it was unacceptable. The next day they moved me to room 558 on the other side of the hotel. I felt like I went to a new hotel, the room was clean, modern, nice carpet, big modern bathroom etc. I had a great view off the balcony of the gulf or Paria and the mountains....it was night and day. So make sure you request a more updated room. The breakfast in the restaurant was great for about $15 US. Room service was slow and not that good....go out to eat. The location is the best on the Island and close to all attractions. If your looking for a bit of nightlife check out "51 degrees" nightclub on Cipriani Blvd Thursday night for Karaoke like no other or "Jenny's on the Blvd" for happy hour on Friday around 6pm.
Not a lot of choices in T'dad
I travel often to Port of Spain on Biz. There is little choice. the Hilton tries in some areas, but is lacking in others. beds are cheap, the linens and towels are cheaper. The property is nice with great views of the Savanah. Great Breakfast Buffet with lots of local dishes. dinner is forgetable. The Biggest problem is the hotels tendancy to have bands playing all night long around the pool. you really can't escape the noise. i sleep very poorly when i am in POS.
Outdoor poolside dinning, June 2003
Had a sunday brunch, food was ok but over price there should have been a band playing, started really late and play for a very short time the meal wasnot worth 40.00 us dollars per person.
A little scary for a Hilton
I have stayed at this hotel several times as an airline crewmember. We had a guard on our floor, but this place just gives me the creeps. Hot water seems to be a problem. This hotel would be great if Hilton would renovate and brighten up the guest rooms.
What a Relief It Was!
The MOST COMFORTABLE BEDS I have slept in, for a Trinidadian hotel. Yes, the bathrooms are a little outdated, but who cares? The staff were most gracious, warm, and courteous. The short walk to the Savanah is great. The breakfast buffet is excellent. I prefer this hotel to any in which I have stayed in Trinidad.
A nightmare from the 70's
A magnificient bit of architecture. An upside-down hotel. While the staff try their very best to please the liming clients, the gloomy daunting feel of a 70's sitcom film stage gone-wrong awaits to welcome the tired visitor.
The rooms are in desperate need of upgrading. the flowery feel has to go. Having spent two months staying in this hotel I'm definately in need of some IKEA shopping.
The plus points include: 1. The excellent gym 2. The proximity to the Savanah
Friendly staff
Nice older hotel. Staff was friendly and helpful. Nice gym. Good breakfast buffet. Decent water pressure, good A/C. Only negatives were: ants in room and lousy ironing board.
Needs a major overhaul
Staying here during carnival was a very disorienting and disappointing experience. Staff were abrupt and frantic, and rooms are rundown--worn carpet, outdated bathrooms--and very overpriced for what they offer. Don't waste your time on the restaurants here, either--all of the food is mediocre. Someday, someone will open a boutique hotel in Port of Spain and make a forture; until then, this shabby motel de luxe is about the only game in town.
All most perfect
The hotel was comfortable, however their tour desk is the worst.The best day was when I hired an outside independent guide.Try Stephen (868) 624 7281 He was fantastic.
Up is Down and Down is up
The Trinidad Hilton is a hotel built into the side of a hill. The lobby is on the top and the rooms are underneath. You go up to the lobby and down to your room. (I still get confused but I have fun each time)
I always stay at this fine hotel and have enjoyed the excellent service. I recommend it for anyone travelling, and expecially business travellers.

Last Day of Holiday
Too soon we are at the last day. This has been a great group, for the most part. A few people have gotten on my nerves but not every day and not often. That's saying a lot because usually there is someone at the very beginning who hits me the wrong way and I spend the rest of the trip trying to avoid them.
This morning we are up to the Asa Wright Nature ...
Heading to Trinidad - Last Country of Tour
... trying to find what I know as an anteater which is an animal with a long snout for getting into ant homes. Everyone is looking everywhere and not finding it. He tells people in the back where to look and slowly there are cries of OH, I see it which slowly moves to the front of the boat where I am as people tell each other where to look and point, etc. Finally I ask, "Is it the brown ball like knot in ...
Trinidad Part 1
... with his mum and she gave me a mini tour of the key bits - Brian Lara Promenade, Frederick Street (the main shopping street) and The Savannah (the world's biggest roundabout)... The centre's surprisingly small but it just sprawls forever. I was driven to meet Jabz at his work for lunch and after he went back, I had a wander round Tunapuna, the town he works in... it has a shop called Rattans selling fake American brands at stupidly cheap prices, so I had ...
Port of Spain
... d expect with all that liquid asphalt that it would be hot underfoot and the waters would be warm, but it is cool until heated by the sun.
Thankfully I'd stopped for a late breakfast of "doubles", though I'd only had a single one, a fried roti like bread smothered in a runny veggie curry usually – tasty, but pretty hard to eat without wearing it! The dining options in town were so uninspiring I gave it a miss ...
18: Island Hopping Home
... good 3 hours to get up to the top of the island and I stayed in Charlotteville for a while to relax on the beach before starting the return journey. The first stop on the way back was Speyside, which is renowned for its colourful diving and snorkelling. Just glancing at a local map I count 15 dive sites within 2 miles of Speyside and although you don't really see big fish the coral is very colourful and it is home to (arguably) the biggest Brain Coral in the world.

Okhlos is an upcoming PC game made by the fine folks of Coffee Powered Machine. In Okhlos you lead a mob of ancient Greeks, tiny and pixeled, through mythological Greece, destroying everything that stands in their way. Crush gorgons! Topple cyclops! Overthrow gods! The mob will grow and change with every new person that you recruit, be they peasants, philosophers, or legendary heroes! They will each make your mob unique and relentless… if you can manage to control it!
"Are you feeling angry? Angry enough to lead a small army as it kicks Zeus in the shins until he dies? Good. Then you are ready."
"[…]And it does so with so much style, with those lovely graphics, that it's hard not to jump in and start playing it!"
"[…]And the action is fast-paced and frantic. Basically, Homer meets Cannon Fodder."
Rezzed 2015 – our 16 favourite games
Coming to PC, Mac and Linux in 2016!
We've closed our pre-orders because we are launching the game with our friends at Devolver! However, we've still left open the special tiers if you want to BE IN THE GAME!
More about Okhlos That's me! Edition
Have you always wanted a chance to stomp your foot in Zeus' big, ungrateful face? Well, here's your chance! Send us a photo and we will turn you into a game unit! You'll have the chance to become a citizen, fighter, defender, slave, or even a bureaucrat! You'll rampage your way across ancient Greece as part of the mob, delivering chaos and mayhem upon your enemies*, striving to defeat and overthrow the tyrannical gods! You'll be included in the game's Encyclopedia with your name and everything! Careful though, only 100 people will be able to snag up this opportunity of a lifetime, so don't hesitate or it'll pass you by!
*Some chaos and mayhem, as well as some clobbering, stomping, and frying , may also be delivered onto you.
More about Okhlos Socrates Edition
There is nothing more exhilarating than being a part of a righteous mob that delivers great vengeance and furious anger upon its enemies… or is there? Only one thing can top being part of a rowdy, devastating mob – and that's leading a rowdy, devastating mob! If you pick this option you will be one of the 30 lucky people to be included in the game as one of Okhlos' philosophers – the mob's leaders! Can you imagine the power? The pure, unlimited power!?*
* Power limited by the mob, technical limitations and the rules and regulations of the city-state of Corinth. The chances of your character getting clobbered, stomped or fried will also be considerably high.
Do you have questions about the pre-order tiers? Check our FAQ page and/or contact us!
Even though they lack some features that will be in the full game, like dynamic sprite shadows, they convey Okhlos' visual style much better than the screenshots or videos do. Switch to full-screen mode to check out the annotations and to view the art at its fullest!
You can view the rest of them here.

Old Man of the Sea
In Greek mythology, the Old Man of the Sea was a primordial figure who could be identified as any of several water-gods, generally Nereus or Proteus, but also Tritonylors, Pontus, Phorcys, or Glaucus. He is the father of Thetis (the mother of Achilles).[1]
In book 4 of Homer's Odyssey, Menelaus recounts to Telemachus his journey home, and how he had to seek the advice of the Old Man of the Sea. The Old Man can answer any questions if captured, but capturing him means holding on as he changes from one form to another. Menelaus captured him, and during the course of questioning, asked if Telemachus' father Odysseus was still alive.
Sinbad the Sailor encountered the monstrous Old Man of the Sea on his fifth voyage. The Old Man of the Sea in the Sinbad tales was said to trick a traveller into letting him ride on his shoulders while the traveller transported him across a stream. However, the Old Man would then not release his grip, forcing his victim to transport him wherever he pleased and allowing his victim little rest. The Old Man's victims all eventually died of this miserable treatment, but Sinbad, after having got the Old Man drunk with wine, was able to shake him off and kill him.

The Old Man of the Sea is alluded to in Edwin Arlington Robinson's book-length narrative poem King Jasper.[2] In part 3 of the poem, King Jasper dreams of his deceased friend Hebron (whom Jasper betrayed) riding on his back. "You cannot fall yet, and I'm riding nicely," Hebron tells Jasper. "If only we might have the sight of water, / We'd say that I'm the Old Man of the Sea, / And you Sinbad the Sailor." Hebron then turns to gold (a symbol of Jasper's motivation for betraying him) and coaxes Jasper to leap across a ravine with the heavy, golden Hebron on his back.[original research?]
