...and no, I'm not doing it for you. Looks good, and thankfully way less campy than the Brave and the Bold series, which though it has its charms is notably inferior to the previous Timm/Dini Batman/Superman/Justice League series. Actually, if you want some G-R-E-A-T Marvel-style action, and you get the Disney XD channel, I HIGHLY commend the new Avengers series to you. It is SUCH great Marvel superhero porn. If you've ever wanted the full-on, no bullshit versions of your favorite Avengers heroes fighting *exactly* like in the books, check this shit out pronto! It melds the classic Avengers with the "New Avengers" origins, and it's better than ALL previous Marvel cartoons. Put together. Seriously.

I wasn't a huge fan of the two-part opening, but since that it's been firing on all cylinders and has easily been the most-inclusive superhero show I've seen yet. It doesn't wait to do an origin story for everyone, it just assumes the complete Marvel Universe exists and dives in. Arnim Zola? Camera-headed monstrosity. MODOK? "that is... a very big head". I'm enjoying it much more than the stodgy start of JLU... But we'll have to see if it can reach those heights.

the prospect of thebatmantvseries would not be as satisfying as a Justice League live-action, cause its obvious that welling still wnts to work. and a weeklyseriesof the friendship between theworld's finest and their competition for Diana's attention would be ratings success.I can wait till DKrisingisdone. But this young justice show could test the waters. The peter david comic with the same name was too-good-to-be-true beause it never took itself seriously.

considering how I wasnt too happy with the animation character designs at first and not to mention, I didn't really care for IronMan armored adventures or spatacular Spider Man.It's no JLU, but it's the closest contender in regards to ensemble super hero shows.yes, I'm also glad they added Modok and the very obscure Zola to the series.(Modok will rock in MVC3!)Cool emo-esque opening theme BTW.

...is underappreciated. Hard to say why. Primarily because it's all over the place, really. They'll throw in a musical number one week, and Bruce Wayne and Selina Kyle brutally dying the next week. Plastic Man goofy one week, the Spectre turning a villain into cheese and feeding him to rats the next week.
 What's arguably the most important thing about the show is the producers' sheer love of the DC universe. Young Justice may give us 135 characters, but B&B has already done that. And I'll bet YJ gives us most of the same 135 we've seen before. When YJ gives us the Freedom Fighters, Sgt. Rock, GI Robot, B'wana Beast, Dr. Double-X, the Ten-Eyed Man, and pays homage by giving us classic Batman actors like Kevin Conroy and Adam West, I'll take it seriously. Otherwise, for now I'd consider it one step above the DC animated movies, compared to the love we saw with the JL/JLU producers.

Yes,it's highly underrated but a very good series and at times can be dark especially after watching eps like siege of starro part 2 and Doom Patrol in which both had bittersweet endings.I'm glad the producers decided to add obscure characters from the DCU like Kirby's Kamandi and OMAC.

One episode it wants to be a child friendly Batman with goofy plots and characters and then the next it wants to be a darker homage to the history of the dark knight. However by changing tone back and forth like that every few episodes it alienates audiences and they tend to tune out. I honestly haven't viewed an episode since the beginning of season 2, It's not a bad show - I just lost interest in it because it could never pick what tone it wanted to be
The chill of the night episode defently was great, but you tune in the next week and it's an episode about aquaman on a family vacation - Pick a tone and go with it!

So Aqua Lad's title has been vacant until now. Apparently the new Aqua Lad's father is Black Manta, the arch-nemesis of Aquaman. Here we find Aquaman is the new Aqualad's mentor. Avengers is over-rated. It's okay. I like what I've seen with Young Justice so far, definitely a must-see.

...with its posters, in full, early. If you guys could give us links to shows like this, exhibiting full-length premiere episodes, we could carry the early buzz and spread the word about them to the fanboy and fangirl community, etc., at large, sharing the links with our family members, friends and online acquaintances, along the way. Just a suggestion, but that is the stuff the creates real grassroots viral campaigns, that are organically inspired, and can get these networks big upfront ratings for their premiere episodes.

BTW, what happened to the new AICN site design that Harry promised us months ago? I haven't heard anything about it since? Thumbs up, can't wait to see it--but I'd love and edit button and spellcheck feature...when it happens!!!

Yes, it's obvious the writers have extensive knowledge of Marvel history, but it's also obvious the mandate is to write for kids between the ages of 7-10.
 Don't we already have Marvel superhero squad for that?
 Young Justice looks like it's going the Justice League Unlimited route, i.e., all ages and complex. Plus, Greg Weisman, the creative mind behind one of the greatest animated shows ever produced, Gargoyles, is captaining the ship, so i'm excited. Weisman knows how to construct a story arc.

by Gislef_crow
Sorry, YJ was just... there. Part of the problem is that the four initial teammates are kind of generic. Other than Aqualad's whatever the heck powers (first he borrows water, then he supplies it, and some... electricity?), they all just run and punch. Robin's laughing from the shadows got old. Generic genomorph monsters, and a Blockbuster that looks nothing like the original. Superman being a douche, and the League being jerks.
 Good points: the opening fights against ice villains. Kid Flash was animated for superspeed pretty well. Aqualad the character was interesting. Speedy... what was the point of bringing him in just to have him walk away?
 Overall, I'd give it a B. As someone noted above, it seemed like the direct-to-video DC movies, and I've never been wowed by them, either. Weisman may be the greatest for Gargoyles, but some of his work then has been on and off. He did two of the weakest B&Bold episodes, and gave us The Batman. And I'd take the latter over YJ right now. I'm willing to give it time to develop, but not impressed so far.

But they should also make sense at the time. They build up Speedy as a major hero type, and he practically sets up the whole concept of them going off on their own... and then he disappears. Narratively it didn't work, especially when we got to wait two months for that thread to pick up.
 Plus taking Speedy out of the equation takes Green Arrow with him, and he seemed to be the one who liked the teens as full Leaguers. Until Batman made his mustache droop. I don't think I want to see a Justice League where Batman, Aquaman, Flash, and J'onn all agree on something.
 They also use the direct-to-video J'onn's stylized look, which I'm not a big fan of. For a guy who is supposed to be the "heart of the Justice League," he was pretty snotty in this one.

I fully agree that Robin being Jason Todd or Tim Drake, and Impulse instead of Wally's Kid Flash would have been more right--but this isn't bad. I am NOT impressed by the Avengers show. Anyone saying that's better than any of DC's shows (save Teen Titans) is blinded by their Marvel whoredom.

I enjoyed it, but...the protagonist are absolute freakin' punks. I totally understand that the show's creators want a degree of conflict between YJ and the League, but there's no way any version of the sidekicks (especially any Dick Grayson Robin) could ever be as ridiculously undisciplined, reckless, or disrespectful as they are in this show and not be dead or in jail in a week. It was so bad - especially at the end when the sidekicks, after pretty much demolishing a city block, basically tell the League to go frak themselves - that I kept thinking that they're like junior versions of the young monsters in Kingdom Come. XD Anyway, like I say in the thread title, I still like the show, I just hope subsequent episodes aren't so lazy. ...And as an aside, IMHO, comic 'toons really, really need a content and presentation revolution akin to what comics got in the mid-80s. Something game-changing - relatively realistic stories, with real consequences. Because all they are right now, in spite of better animation and more complex stories, is the same ol' stuff - good guys go against the grain and succeed despite ridiculous odds, then everyone has a laugh at the end - that they're ever been. -_-

...having to be resolved or "make sense at the time". It's a plot thread. By definition it's supposed to lay the ground work for future development. Anyone vaguely aware of the show and paying attention to the marketing knows Arrowette is going to be the archer of the group. So the question was, how does that happen if Speedy starts off as one of the side kicks? Now we know he was disgruntled. His story will most likily pick up at a later date. I don't get the problem unless someone really really wants Roy on the show as a regular.

The government wants Annabelle to have some sort of Thanksgiving dinner so I made some "Thanksgiving" like food. She already eats Sweet Potatoes (which I'll be making more of today) and Butternut Squash is also a Thanksgiving like food especially served hot. I just need a little more variety. I made Cranberries and Green Beans. I'm concerned that the Cranberries may be too fucking tart. I did add Apple Juice and a bit of sugar to sweeten it up so the little twat wouldn't cry. We'll see. I was afraid that the Green Beans may freeze weird but they were just fine. I've perfected the art of releasing the Green Bean cubes from the tray. Dave, my mind is going. I can feel it. I'm happy with how this is all turning out. So today I'm making Sweet Potatoes as well as Pears for the dog, Fuckster. I might even do Apples. We'll see. I don't want to make too much since these foods only last a month and the undead walk the earth. I can also make carrots. So many choices. So little time.

The first five are pretty bad. They were made in segments for online broadcast then joined up for TV episodes. The show itself, beginning with "Breakout" is much better. The first five lay some of the background for the first real episode, so if you have the time, catch them all, otherwise its easy picked up in "Breakout".

A good take on Robin especially. I dunno much about comics, but the whole "young rebel" angle works, epsecially with Kid Arrow, or who that guy is in the beginning. Made the other kids look like spineless little shits. Also, I hope they'll bring up Superboy's half human heritage. The best part about the character is that he's the lovechild of Supes and Luthor. Pretty messed up.

I love the huge range of characters being used. But as an older DC fan, I find it a bit jarring to see various sidekicks from different eras of DC history thrust together. Obviously, the creators just used the characters they deemed to be most marketable regardless of established continuity. The new Aqualad in particular seems to be shoehorned into the show. It would have been nice to see Garth interact as a contemporary with Dick, Wally and Roy. And since I've only seen the preview video and not the show itself, can anyone tell me if Wonder Woman and Wonder Girl are involved? During the opening montage of ice-themed villains, I was disappointed Diana and Donna didn't show up to battle Minister Blizzard.

... they DID set him up here to be a member of the team. He only seems to have missed the "invite" because he left before the others. If he ain't joining the team, why show him here? What was so critical here that they needed to show it to bring him in as Red Arrow later? He's arguably the key character in the first few minutes and then poof he's gone.

I miss the inter-series continuity Bruce Timm and Paul Dini built up over the course of four shows and 15 years. Now, it seems like there's a new DC superhero 'toon EVERY YEAR. and not one of them is related to the other. Plus, the music sucks. I miss Shirley Walker and the days of ORCHESTRAL music is superhero cartoons.

I think we just need to come to the realization that nothing is going to compete with the Dini/Timm universe. If they're work is what we are comparing these cartoons to, then everything is going to end up tasting a little sour.

They introduced Speedy to set up a hole in the team that needs filling, and to introduce the drama of a disgruntled friend later on. It doesn't need to be "critical". Setting up any plot thread need not be "critical" the moment it's introduced.
 Really, unless someone is a Roy Harper fanboy there is absolutely nothing wrong with the initial setup. The incident establishes that the youguns had issues with feeling left out and cuddled, and it establishes Roy, like Ollie, is a hothead and given to taking rash actions if pushed. When he turns up later, it creates drama, which i assume is what the viewers want.
 Going on about a character being presented early in the narrative and leaving abruptly seems strange to me. The show isn't a one off. It's a series. I think the writers should be encouraged to do stuff like that.
good show so far

the rest was okay but that setup with the "today is the day" thing sucked. I'd have had them in school and texting each other. show a little bit of their other identity. that's going to be something that most of these shows miss. to work personal stories into it like the books do. this almost has an old school Superfriends vibe to the art and setting. Which is good. I'll watch a few more. It could have been worse. I loved the self-deprecating line "Speedy is Green Arrow's sidekick and not The Flash's?" "How messed up is that?"

and then, maybe Red Arrow, though there's going to be an Arrowette girl archer. Verdict form old dad: B. From target audience son: A-. Wife doesn't like Greenwood as Batman; she's a Conroy loyalist and that's hard to argue with, though I think Greenwood's okay. Animation better than Avengers (though we watched marathon of that yesterday, too).

I dug it well enough. I took issue with the overly aggressive Superboy clone ,even when he first appeared he had more of the attitude Kid Flash exhibited in the episode. Eager to prove he was SUPERMAN but with a cocky sort of swagger to him as opposed to being a Wolverine of Steel type. I can see why they'd do it for team dynamic purposes but I hope they don't play it up too much. Greenwood as Batman just sounds like Conroy's understudy. If Conroy isn't available I guess he's fine but it's basically Greenwood doing his Conroy impersonation.

kick ass little cartoon and way more in line with the way DC Comics read these days than anything else on TV. Brave and the Bold is strictly a kids show as far as I'm concerned. It'll be interesting to see if this can come close to Justice League levels of Greatness. I also didn't hate Legion when it was on.

I dvr'd the run they had on yesterday. It was a pretty good representation of the Avengers and their history. The Animation was good. Loved Cap's introduction (except the Nazis are all Hyrda agents),They should have Hydra be a splinter group of the Reich...that might make sense. But it is a show for Kids and teens, not necessarily for 40 somethings

Seemed kind of strange that it was a Female-less gang, I am kind of surprised by that (I know they are adding) I would have had Ms. Martian tag along invisibly had had her help them out and introduce her as the shy outsider. Wondergirl should be part of this. I am an old timer, I wish "Speedy" would have stayed "Speedy" for awhile

I was... whelmed. Wasn't bad, but it wasn't great either. Too bad they have Robin listed as Dick Grayson in IMDB. Would be better if it was Tim Drake. Then they could still introduce Dick as Nightwing in some other episode later on down the road.

And I love the Hulk episode of the Avengers: EMHs.

contribute to the direct to video movies. Those flicks have that style, or a pretty close approximation of it. Alas, they contain absolutely no continuity for you slobs obssessed with minutate. And that's a good thing.

In addition to Ms. Martian, they'll be adding Arrowette (since Speedy will be back as Red Arrow later on), and with Zatara so prominent in the main league, it's easy to assume that Zatanna might join later on. Wish they had Wonder Girl on the team too though.

Why would "slobs" be concerned by small details? If they're slovenly, careless, and lazy by nature? I'd think slobs didn't care at all about detail. Please at least level some more concise insults toward the people who actually care about years of history and property consistency. As far as Timm and Dini's work is concerned, while they tend to be stand alone works they for the most part ooze respect for the properties and their histories as much as they can in a stunted run time.

I haven't watched this yet. I DVR'ed it and will watch it later today. I'm seriously digging the Avengers cartoon though. Yeah, the animation is kinda lacking and Iron Man does sound like Jack Black, but overall it is cool as hell to see an Avengers cartoon show on TV. That weak ass 90's Avengers cartoon was offensively bad. This one is much more credible.

I think something has gone wrong when you have to have a teen-age cast to make superheroes appealing to kids. Batman and Superman shouldn't be played like the audiences's disapproving fathers. Hell, if Batman and Superman show up in a series it should only illustrate how much more you'd rather be watching their adventures.

by rbatty024
It certainly has some potential, and there are cool ideas throughout the premier. I especially liked the little creatures that sit on your shoulder and transmit mind control signals. The animation is obviously anime influenced, but I felt it worked. There's so much cheap animation coming in to the U.S. these days that I'm sure that's the style many youngsters are used to. The team dynamic also worked well. Looks like it's a lot more interesting than THE Batman, a show I absolutely hated.

It was very cool, though I wish they gave Dianna at least 1 line! I also would just prefer a series about the real Justice League, and not the brats, but I'll take it. Greenwood is a great replacement for Conroy. I will definitely watch this when it airs regularly. Unless the Avengers animation got 5 times better since the webisodes, it's pathetic and I can't deal with it. C'mon Disney, Warners kicks your ass up and down the block.
Nov. 29, 2010, 6:05 a.m. CST
by CeejayNightwing
For those complaining about the initial four villains with the same powers, that's a red herring and has zip to do with the rest of the episode. The fighting on this is the best I've seen since the Earth 2 Justice league movie. They need to bulk up Robin a bit more to his athletic self and not make him too much of a computer geek. Tim Drake was the techie, Dick Grayson was the natural acrobat with leadership quality. Didn't need to have the Martian Manhunter neice either, that aside it was one hell of an entertaining introduction and way better drawn and animated than the Avengers cartoon too.
Nov. 29, 2010, 7:55 a.m. CST
by BizarroJerry
but are older fans going to still like this when they have episodes without any of those adult characters in them? Sure, the arrival of the Justice League may have got people excited, but that could be all we ever see of some of those heroes. They did suggest Red Tornado and Black Canary will be sticking around, though.

Not as instantly addictive as Avengers: EMH, but for a DC effort, this was pretty intense with the whole Cadmus circumstance. "Got your nose!" Creepy and funny at the same time. The Miss Martian thing does come out of left field for those (like me) who aren't up on current events in the comics, and I too wonder where Wonder Girl is. She'd serve as the required female and be far more rooted in the DCU. That was something I always liked about the old YJ book, that it had direct counterparts of Superman, Batman, Wonder Woman and the Flash on board. Still, this is the best DC cartoon since the end of Justice League Unlimited and despite the kid orientation, there won't be that undercurrent of embarrassment that you feel while watching the campy-yet-fun shenanigans on Batman: Brave & The Bold. Looking forward to the next ep!
Nov. 30, 2010, 12:08 p.m. CST
by Chewtoy
Kind of stodgy and unexciting though... the whole thing felt subdued, and reminded me too much of the beginning of the Justice League cartoon. I doubt this one will appeal to the younger demographic much unless it begins to have a bit more fun. I'd still much rather be watching the adventures of the main heroes rather than their sidekicks.

Normally, I wouldn't use this column as a forum to comment on mergers or acquisitions. But the purchase of Schering- Plough by Merck is not only interesting for financial reasons in the middle of our collapsing economy.
Both companies have been very interesting to watch over the past few years, not least because of the combination product Vytorin (Merck's Zocor and Schering's Zetia), which came under fire as a result of one 2008 study that seemed to show that the combination wasn't more effective at preventing the buildup of plaque in the heart than was Zocor alone.
Merck has been hit over the past few years with public attacks, several of which were unfair or overblown. Issues have included possible cardiac risks with Vioxx, effectiveness of Vytorin, and questions about how the Gardisil vaccine for HPV was marketed. I believe that Merck may have received more negative attention over the Vytorin study than Schering-Plough, probably because of its higher profile. But Merck at least partially compensated for these difficulties with its new diabetes drug, Januvia, which has been a groundbreaking treatment, restoring faith in Merck's pipeline.
Januvia is well tolerated and has been very successful, and is more than 10% of Merck's entire revenue. In 2007, Merck sold $1.75 billion worth of Januvia and a combo pill Janumet. Januvia should help Merck to shake its reputation of producing too many "me-too" drugs. And joining with Schering-Plough should help that image too. At a time like this, it is good to see these two behemoths joining forces.

The Vancouver Canucks
We are all Canucks!
We've been a proud supporter of the NHL's Vancouver Canucks for more than [M6] 15 years. We have a strong relationship with John Shorthouse[M7] , the voice of the Canucks' play-by-play broadcasts, as the voice of our radio and television ads. We're proud to have 'Shorty' on our winning team.
Go Canucks Go!
John Shorthouse
John "Shorty" Shorthouse is a Canadian sports broadcaster, based in Vancouver. He is the lead play-by-play commentator for the Vancouver Canucks on the television network Rogers Sportsnet Pacific and on radio station "Team 1040" for Canucks games. "Shorty" is also the voice of Budget Brake and Muffler Auto Centres, going on 7 years.
Shorthouse began his broadcasting career on local station CKVU-TV in 1993. He was one of the anchors of a popular late-night sports program called Sports Page. In 1996, while still working for CKVU, he began working as a reporter on Canucks pay-per-view telecasts and called his first NHL hockey game in the play-by-play role as a substitute on March 24, 1998 against the New York Islanders. This game was significant because it featured the return of popular ex-Canucks Trevor Linden and Gino Odjick for the first time. The following season, with the inception of CTV Sportsnet (now Rogers Sportsnet), the Canucks greatly expanded their local television coverage and Shorthouse was hired to split play-by-play duties with hall-of-famer Jim Robson. He also filled in on radio broadcasts when Jim Hughson was assigned to national Sportsnet telecasts. The following year, Robson retired, and Shorthouse became the permanent radio play-by-play man, while Hughson moved to television full-time.
He was the radio voice of the Canucks from 1999–2000 until 2007-08, working alongside colour commentator Tom Larscheid. The two moved over from rival radio station CKNW after that station lost the Canucks' broadcasting rights in 2006. Shorthouse was often seen as the more even-handed of the two in comparison with his exuberant colleague Larscheid.
In March 2008, Jim Hughson left his Canucks' play-by-play position on Rogers Sportsnet to take on CBC telecasts full-time, leaving the position available. On June 3, 2008, it was announced that Shorthouse would take over that position. John is now the voice of the Canucks on television for every game broadcast on Rogers Sportsnet; for every other game, he is the radio voice on the Team 1040.

Wellbutrin XL vs. Generic Versions
All generic medications must undergo certain tests to compare them to brand-name medications. The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) then looks at these tests to decide if the generic versions are equivalent to the brand-name medications and assigns a rating to each one.
An "AB" rating means that the FDA has determined that a generic medication is equivalent to a brand-name medication. The 150-mg strength of Budeprion XL as well as both strengths of the other generic version of Wellbutrin XL, have an "AB" rating, meaning they should be equivalent to Wellbutrin XL.
However, generic medications are allowed to have different inactive ingredients from the brand-name medication. This might include fillers, dyes, or other ingredients, which could cause problems for people with certain allergies or sensitivities.

Lessons From the Field
By Joe Keohane

Boston University Trustee Emerita Terry Andreas ('64) took an unusual path for a journalism major. Deeply concerned about depletion of the planet's resources, she founded the School for Field Studies, now America's oldest and largest undergraduate environmental study abroad program. At sites all over the developing world, the school's students and professors are working with local communities to balance economic growth with ecological preservation, thanks to Andreas—who says she couldn't have done it without BU.
Dawn breaks on the School for Field Studies' Costa Rica station. The sleeping campus sits atop a hill in Atenas—a small, rural town about an hour northwest of San José, the country's capital. Sleeping, that is, until a neighbor's rooster goes off like an air raid siren. Soon, two dozen students shuffle sluggishly into the kitchen to slap together ham sandwiches for the day ahead.
Once outside, the students and three professors pile into a bus waiting at the gate. Gerardo Avalos, the son of Costa Rican coffee farmers who directs the station, climbs aboard last. Avalos' PhD is in plant physiological ecology, but his passion is birds. Field guide in hand, he passes the ride regaling students with facts about our feathered friends.
The bus's destination is Monteverde, the cloud forest sitting astride the Continental Divide. Monteverde is one of the most important nature reserves in a small country known for such places. Twenty-seven percent of the land in Costa Rica is protected, and the little country hosts 5 percent of the planet's biodiversity.
Wending its way down to the Rio Grande valley, the bus passes sleek billboards in English advertising casinos and newly built condos for the American and European retirees who have been flocking to the area in recent years, driving up real-estate prices and taxing the area's natural resources. Many of these ads measure distance in miles for
the Americans.
Ninety minutes later, the bus travels through Santa Elena, the closest town to Monteverde, and the beneficiary of much of the hotel expenditures of the ecotourists who go there in ever-increasing numbers each year. Santa Elena is swelling these days. An oversized shopping mall is under construction there, causing some consternation locally.
The purpose of this trip is to observe firsthand the stresses between rising tourist traffic and the plant and animal life of the forest at Monteverde. And it's this intersection of ecology, economics and development that lies at the heart of the School for Field Studies' mission in Costa Rica, and in its other centers around the world. More than 13,000 students have participated in the innovative program since its inception three decades ago, working hands-on in the field with staff professors and the community to address the myriad dilemmas created by globalization, from watershed management to habitat loss to poverty. Its multidisciplinary approach geared to intractable 21st-century problems has been lauded by researchers, nongovernmental organizations (NGOs) and governments around the world. But it couldn't have had a more modest start. It all began one day back in the late 1970s, when a restless, COM-educated, stay-at-home mother of two found herself having a conversation with a few friends.
Beyond "Tree-hugging"
"Four of us were discussing how you learn things," Terry Andreas ('64) recalls as she sits by a noisy grey parrot named Tarzan in her Manhattan apartment. "We were talking about the environment," she says, "which was thought to be kind of a nutty subject at the time. We didn't think that the hug-a-tree movement was going to go very far. And it was distressing to think that people didn't understand that because they drank water and breathed air, it was probably worthwhile to pay attention to those things."
In 1978, Andreas and her friends organized a summer trip for a few teenagers to an island off Marblehead, Mass., to observe nature and discuss the human toll on it. When that went well, they decided to expand it. In 1979 they recruited 17 college students, a professor and an Outward Bound trainer for a trip to Kenya to do some research on giraffes and rhinos. "The kids were absolutely mesmerized," she says. They continued summer trips for another four years, but soon decided to extend the program to whole semesters and hire more full-time staff. As interest grew, they realized it wouldn't do to have the students camping out for three months, so in 1986 they began renting property to serve as bases. "Then we evolved from renting into buying our own centers, so we could make sure these kids were safe," she says. They selected sites based on availability of land and topics to study.
Today, the School for Field Studies, chaired by Andreas and headquartered in Salem, Mass., owns centers in Costa Rica, Kenya, Mexico, Australia and the Turks & Caicos islands. All work closely with local officials and residents, summoning the collective efforts of the professors who pinpoint problems and direct the research, and of the students who work with them, gaining experience in the field, learning about diverse cultures, and earning academic credit in the bargain. (See "The Comm Ave. Connection," at right.)
Collective Brain Power
As the bus nears Monteverde, Avalos tells the students about plants they may encounter in the forest—like the bountiful mucuna. It looks cute, like a fuzzy peapod. But the mucuna can do some damage. "They have hairs that get inside your skin," Avalos says. "Very painful. You have to use butter to get them out. Don't pet the mucuna."
The road turns to rutted dirt, and as the bus climbs higher toward the blanket of clouds that hangs over Monteverde, it turns muddy. It's a teeth-rattling ride. The students get off the bus, don rain gear and start the hike up into the mountains. The trail gets muddier as they go. It rains steadily most of the way. Throughout, they listen intently to the professors' running commentary on the animal and plant life in Monteverde. How the clouds blow up the mountain, cooling as they go, turning to condensation for the multitude of flora and fauna that require lots of water to survive; how rising temperatures and deforestation make those clouds climb ever higher before condensing, pushing animals and plants further north in search of a habitat that will sustain them. The hike is a mucky, challenging one, over three hours to the top, and an hour or so back to the biological research station where they'll be staying for the night.
It's a busy day: up at 5 a.m., three hours of driving, four hours of hiking, roughly three hours of classes, all topped off with a visit to a club in Monteverde where the students can practice the dance steps they've learned in their class on Costa Rican culture. But it's hardly unusual. The SFS program is an intensive, immersive experience, packed with classes and research activities, usually from 7 a.m. to 10 p.m., six days a week.
"It was a pretty atypical study abroad program," says COM grad Danny Hayes ('07), who studied at the SFS Costa Rica site in fall 2006. "The way of learning was so different, and so cool, but it was still all part of the BU experience."
Immersion in the scientific method, economics lectures and an unfamiliar environment helped make him a better journalist, Hayes says. Today he writes for Bitch, a feminist magazine in Portland, Ore. His SFS experience "really helped me think about how feminism and social activism of all kinds connect," he says. "People don't think of it, but the way we learned about the environment being ignored, and the economics of it, was similar to the way women's issues were ignored.
"It gave me a more global perspective. It really did a good job of integrating social, economic and political strands. It just helped me connect all the dots. It broadened my critical thinking. I'm less quick to jump to conclusions now. I try to look at things from a perspective I wouldn't have otherwise. [I now question] things that might seem really good on the surface. Definitely, for the journalism I'm doing at Bitch, it helped a lot."
In both the semester and summer programs, students take up a directed research project at the end. This involves contributing with a professor to any one of SFS's several five-year research efforts. These long-term undertakings are devised by the professors, in collaboration with the community and/or the government and NGOs.
The projects vary, depending on locale. In Kenya, for instance, where a key focus is public health, the local SFS station is conducting the first-ever census of their area. In Mexico, they're studying the worsening depletion of fish stocks in Baja. SFS Costa Rica is focusing on the problem of poaching in national parks, and trying to figure out whether some of the most highly sought-after prizes—in their case, heart of palm—can be grown outside the protected zones in order to preserve the health of the parks as well as the people who eat the traditional food. They're also working with the parks to better manage the increasing number of tourists.
Looking Ahead
The roughly 500 students who attend SFS each year pay tuition, but the program's overhead expenses are high, and additional independent fundraising is necessary. "We just scrape by," says Andreas. "There's always something. We were hit by three hurricanes last year—two in the Pacific and one in the Caribbean. And this year we have to build a road [at the station] in Australia. It's never a dull moment."
The plans for the Costa Rica field station are relatively modest. The research, of course, must continue apace. They want to install some solar panels on the roof of the dormitory so students can enjoy warm showers. They're expanding the site's farm in an effort to make the school more self-sufficient. All this, of course, costs money. And then there are the iguanas, which are everywhere, including on the corrugated iron roof of the dormitory, which they scrape noisily, and from which they occasionally urinate on students. They've been waging war on the farm lately, and the situation is approaching a breaking point. "The neighbors tell us, 'It's time for you guys to start killing iguanas,'" says Avalos. But, he says, as with his work with the parks and the surrounding communities, he's more inclined to figure out a way to share.

The Comm Ave. Connection
By Patrick Kennedy
The School for Field Studies is accredited by Boston University. That means enrollees—who come from more than 275 colleges and universities across the country to spend a semester or summer abroad with SFS—are officially registered BU students who receive transcripts from the University. With BU's imprimatur, those grades transfer to the students' home institutions. The BU College of Arts & Sciences dean's office reviews SFS professors' curricula vitae, and the University approves all SFS courses.
In addition, more than 200 BU students have participated in the program. "The relationship with SFS is valuable to BU," says Boston University Assistant Director for External Programs David Lamitie, "because it provides students with additional options for study abroad and research in destinations and on topics not fully covered by our own offerings. SFS is an innovative leader in the field of thematic, experience-based learning, and BU students benefit from their expertise."
And in turn, BU has "absolutely" been a resource for SFS, says founder and chair Terry Andreas ('64). Through the accreditation process, "they've kept me honest. They asked all the right questions…BU has been tremendously helpful. I couldn't have done it without them."
The Terrier network doesn't end there. Andreas' son, George Bevis (ENG'00), also sits on the SFS board, as does her BU classmate Judith Winslow (CAS'64). And the school's president, Bonnie Clendenning, is the former executive director of a Boston University center, the Archaeological Institute of America.
Andreas has long had a close relationship with BU. Now a trustee emerita, she served on the BU Board of Trustees for 17 years. (She recently retired due to term limits, but says she will stay active at her alma mater.) Andreas has given generously to BU over the years, including a large gift to COM's photojournalism program. She has served on the board of the BU Academy, and in 1992 she earned BU's Alumni Award for Distinguished Service to the Community. Recently, she hired COM's AdLab students to do publicity for her new pet shop in Manhattan, Uptown Birds. "They did a great job!" she says. "I was so impressed."
Not surprisingly, Andreas places a high value on education. "It's important to stay in school as long as you can and learn from everybody you can," she says. That realization hit home when she was at COM, she adds. After working a part-time telemarketing job for which she felt ill-equipped, "when I then sat in my classes, it became clear to me that what they were teaching, and what I was learning, had a very practical impact on life," she explains. "I realized I would actually use the information that I was learning in my classes, and that gave new meaning to the subject matter."
Sure enough, in the early days of SFS, when Andreas had to prepare promotional materials and draft grant proposals, "It was never difficult to sit down and write," she says, because "at COM, you learned to just keep doing it," as well as to keep in mind "that you're communicating with someone else and [to think] about who it is, so that you're speaking directly to your audience in the right language."

HOLLYWOOD --The water was flowing Saturday morning in the 6500 block of Lexington Avenue affecting 20 homes. An eight-inch water main broke after four Saturday morning.
Tow trucks came and moved cars parked on the street.
There was no property damage.
But residents were trapped for awhile and at least one was worried about possible house flooding.
"Someone in my house heard the sound, you know a very hard sound and they came out and the water was just running all over the place," said local resident Doris Alvarado. "My son had to go to work so he said, 'Mom, mom the water is running. Something broke!' One pipe broke outside, I was thinking oh my God the water's going to come through the house."
The DWP does not know what caused the pipe to break.
Officials say the ruptured line should be fixed in a few more hours.

Have you ever seen a movie and thought, "Wow, that was a great story line, but something was missing"? Do you go to the theater only to support your favorite actor/actress but leave disappointed because you kept being distracted by something? Oftentimes when a story line is not flowing, we lose focus and shift our attention to the setting, the costumes, the hair, the make-up.
