Dollars to Doughnuts: One Way to Save Main Street
Slow food, microbrewing, real simple living: Call it the rebellion of the hipoisie. Young Urban Professionals with a Won't Be Fooled Again agenda.
And now comes the investing counterpart, locavesting. "Across the country people are figuring out ways to invest in their local businesses and communities. In the process, they are rebuilding economies, revitalizing downtowns and rural Main Streets, and establishing a sense of shared purpose and wealth," writes Amy Cortese.
A former BusinessWeek colleague, Cortese has just published an authoritative catalog of this trend, Locavesting: The Revolution in Local Investing and How to Profit From It (Wiley, $22.95), with loads of "imagine that!" examples from across the United States.
Take Cops & Doughnuts, for example, a popular bakery on the main drag of Claire, Michigan (pop. 3,300). When local officers Greg Rynearson and Al White became aware that their 111-year-old hangout, Clare City Bakery, was about to close, they and seven other colleagues chipped in to buy the place. The result: a highly successful, bricks-and-mortar running joke about the Man and his love affair with sinkers. The bakery now employs 19, draws scads of tourists off the interstate, and has helped to revitalize the downtown. Customers can pick up not only a "squealer," or a maple doughnut topped with bacon, but also T-shirts bearing such slogans as "Don't Glaze Me, Bro."
Bookstores are frequent beneficiaries of this sort of local largesse. The failing Tsunami Books in Eugene, Oregon, was bailed out in 2005 by a group of investing professors; The Community Bookstore of Brooklyn, N.Y., was saved in similar fashion in 2007.
But Cortese makes clear that such second chances do not altogether depend upon the good-spiritedness of friends. Rather, there are an emerging group of small institutions that are active players in locavesting. In Hardwick, Vermont, the private equity team of Merritt & Merritt & Moulton has helped provide capital to such outfits as heirloom-seeds seller High Mowing Seeds and organic farmer Pete's Greens. "Crowdfunders" including Kiva and Kickstarter have backed any number of improbable entrepreneurs. There are even "do-it-yourself public offerings," Cortese tells us, in which outfits like mac-'n'-cheese maker Annie's Homegrown sell shares to the public.
None of this, of course, is likely to shake the foundations at Citicorp. "Locavesting is in its very early days," Cortese tells us, and "the regulatory challenges cannot be overstated." Nevertheless, it's an interesting trend that may help save the free market from itself…or at least from some of its excesses. Marx and Engels once wrote how capitalism "left remaining no other nexus between man and man than naked self-interest." Perhaps locavesting can help rectify that brutal tendency.

Intriguing book idea. Congrats to Amy. But maybe naked self-interest is not a bad thing. If police didn't want donuts, they wouldn't invest, would they?
I had occasion to mention your book in my blog, at http://www.joyousjoes.blogspot.com

Applications for Fall Semester Up 65 Percent
Burke Olsen and Alec Johnson · August 6, 2010
Late last month, Southern Virginia University surpassed 2,500 applications for fall semester 2010, which represents a 65 percent increase over last year and a 20 percent increase over the all-time high in 2005.
Of the projected incoming freshman class, more than 100 have grade point averages above 3.75. To date, the average GPA for incoming freshmen is 3.34, up from last year's 3.2.
"Prospective students are definitely taking a closer look at what Southern Virginia has to offer," said Brett Garcia, dean of admissions. "That has meant not only a record number of applications and acceptances but also a record number of denials."
Unlike many universities that have cutoff dates for applications, students can apply to Southern Virginia right up to the beginning of the semester if there is sufficient space in classes and housing. That means the precise size of the student body for fall semester is not known, but university officials expect it will end up above 700, or at least 50 students higher than fall semester 2009.
In 1996, when Southern Virginia first adopted a Latter-day Saint environment, there were just 74 students. The university plans to grow to serve between 1,000 and 1,200.
"We won't always be able accept applications so late in the year," Garcia said. "But we know that it's very helpful to many of our incoming students, including returning missionaries."

Q: jQuery ajax posting large data is slow in Chrome and Safari I have to make a bandwidth test with javascript and php, I use jQuery, and try all browsers, but:

*

*Firefox - UP: 7-8 Mbps

*Explorer 9 - UP: 7-8 Mbps

*Opera - UP: 7-8 Mbps

*Safari - UP: sometimes 800-900 kbps

*Chrome - UP: 100-200 kbps or no data

A: From my personal experience JQuery (and most webkits) are bloated and causes a multitude of issues because they are more concerned with re-inventing the wheel to make their own crossbrowser version of a functionality than to provide an optimized extension of what is detected to be missing. To that end there is a lot of extra overhead these webkits (aka. javascript api's) create for a multitude of reasons.
I reccomend that you try pure javascript native AJAX calls to see what the performance is like.

A History of Murder: Personal Violence in Europe from the Middle Ages to the Present. By Pieter Spierenburg (Cambridge, UK: Polity, 2008. 274 pp.).
The historical study of interpersonal violence in Europe has grown significantly in recent decades, and there is a need for an effective synthesis that can bring together diverse research findings and introduce non-specialists to this now highly active field. The unavoidable difficulties with such a summary would be covering the broad (and somewhat shifting) spectrum of behavior referred to as "violence" over the last several centuries and accounting for cultural, regional and national differences. Addressing historical specificity and historiographical complexity while also offering a coherent narrative poses a particular challenge. It is, therefore, a testament to Pieter Spierenburg's skill as a historian of violence that his book so often strikes the right balance.
The importance of state development is brought out clearly through the examination of the "criminalization" of violence: violent acts previously seen as legitimate and/or private matters were brought under the jurisdiction of expanding justice systems. This complicated process occurred at different rates—and through somewhat different means—from place to place; however, in this way and across Europe, previously acceptable (or at least tolerated) violence was ever more subject to official censure and punishment. An "open consent to murder formed part of medieval culture" (31); that consent became increasingly limited.
Following a first chapter on the medieval starting point of his study, Spierenburg outlines the significant decline in violence from the fifteenth through the eighteenth centuries. Thematic chapters then consider male fighting, women's violence, physical conflict in the domestic sphere and understandings of insanity and diminished responsibility. The next main chronological step runs from about 1800 to the 1950s, during which time violence rates seem to have continued their downward trajectory. Such declines, seemingly paradoxically, were met by increasing concerns: violence diminished, but its residual image "darkened" (167), with growing anxieties about crimes passionnels, serial killing and a violent criminal underworld. Still, he concludes: "In Europe west of the Iron Curtain, the 1950s were, on average, the least violent period in history" (203). A final chapter examines the last half-century, during which violence rates rose in most European countries. Although a significant trend, the author makes the point (also attested to by the preceding chapters) that even these heightened homicide rates remain low by historical standards. Moreover, rather than an across-the-board reversal of social pacification, that rise has been narrowly concentrated among younger and poorer urban males and partly driven by organized crime, especially the global trade in illegal drugs (207-08).

It is the mission of the Westerville Warcats Hockey Association (WWHA) to provide high quality ice hockey Varsity and Junior Varsity programs for players attending one of Westerville's three high schools in an environment that is open to all levels of interest and economic standing. The WWHA assists all participants in reaching their athletic potential by teaching skills that enhance the performance and enjoyment of ice hockey, while also developing lifetime skills of goal setting, commitment, self-discipline, determination, teamwork and sportsmanship.
The Westerville Warcats Hockey Association is a member of the Ohio Scholastic Hockey League (OSHL) formerly known as the Greater Columbus High School Club Hockey League (GCHSCHL), USA Hockey (USAH) and adheres to the by-laws of each organization.
The Westerville Warcats Hockey Association is a non-profit organization founded December 3, 2008 under the Ohio state Non-Profit Corporation statute. The WWHA is operated by a working Board that is committed to providing youth high school club hockey to our community. The Westerville High School Hockey Association was established in 1998 and preceeded the WWHA.
The Westerville Warcats Hockey Association (WWHA) offers a program to promote hockey in our community. In an effort to ensure readiness for high school hockey and to promote consistency in coaching techniques between our programs, the Warcats JV team has invited any interested older Bantam players to participate in a program called Bantam Bridge. These players will have the benefit of working with the JV coaching staff at a practice based on a set schedule throughout the season. The program has had several players continue their hockey careers and play for the Warcats JV and Varsity teams.
There is no JV game play for these Bantam Bridge players. However, they will be included in any activities offered by the WWHA, if they wish to participate.
All Bantam Bridge players should be on a bantam or other team roster for the current season.
Bantam Bridge players must register online at www.warcats.org before practicing with the JV team. Each player must show proof of birth date and pay the required fee for the season to complete the registration process. The registrar will attend practice your first night to meet you and check birth certificates. The player WILL NOT step on the ice until this is complete.
Each Bantam Bridge player will attend a Monday night practice based on the schedule provided on the website for the registration.
Second year bantams residing in the Westerville school district (grades 8 or 9).
Players older than bantam age who live the Westerville school district but who have had limited playing experience.
The WWHA registrar is the contact person for the program. If you have any question or want additional information, please contact the WWHA registrar.
The WWHA strongly believes that it is important for players to be in the best physical shape possible for the hockey season and have an opportunity to improve overall skating ability of the club, develop and improve all hockey fundamental skills and improve conditioning, flexibility and strength. To meet these goals the WWHA provides a summer conditioning program for players entering grades 9-12 and one for players entering grades 6-8. Enrollment is open to Westerville students and, on a space available basis, to students in other school districts. The sessions are run June and July and finish prior to WWHA hockey tryouts. The WWHA JV and Varsity coaches lead these sessions and are focused on skill development. These sessions are usually 60-90 minutes in length, twice a week. Registration begins early May via the WWHA website and fees for the summer program are detailed in the registration tool on the WWHA website.

In the last ten years there has been a substantial growth in the number of historiographical studies looking at the ideas, the people, the discoveries and the institutions that have helped to shape our modern heritage world. This session, sponsored by the Society of Antiquaries of London, will look at a number of examples of such research and ask what insights they bring to a consideration of the future development of archaeology in Europe.
In particular, participants will be encouraged to debate the question of what the study of our past reveals about the diversity of practice in European archaeology: is there a 'history of European archaeology' or are there many 'histories'? If there are different traditions, what are the key differences? How have those differences come about, and in response to what stimuli? How do they impact on practice today in different parts of Europe?
Above all, we hope that participants will ask how archaeologists are responding to wider political and social trends towards globalisation: are there positive and creative national traditions that continue to serve us well and that we wish to retain? were we actually more international in outlook in the past? Are there strengths or dangers in studying the past from national perspectives?
Alternatively, does the future of the discipline depend on breaking down barriers and developing archaeological approaches that are seamless, with pan-European, or even global, research agendas, research teams and institutions and a more 'mixed economy' of professionals and non-professionals working in both the public and private sectors?
Such fluid and flexible approaches, which encourage the building of new partnerships, both nationally and internationally, may well be the way ahead in a European economy in which archaeology is going to have to learn to be less reliant on the state for the majority of its funding. For some of us, that might mean rediscovering the original purpose of the archaeological bodies that we represent.
Tim Murray is editor of the Bulletin of the History of Archaeology, the only peer-reviewed journal in the world devoted solely to this subject. Having taught at the University of Leiden, the Université de Paris 1 (Panthéon-Sorbonne), the Ecole des hautes etudes en sciences sociales (Paris) and the Institute of Archaeology, University College London, he is now Dean of the Faculty of Humanities and Social Sciences, and Professor of Archaeology, at La Trobe University, Australia.
Based on his European and international experiences, Tim has developed a comparative and transnational approach to the study of the histories of archaeology and antiquarianism. He will introduce this session by providing a brief overview of the main themes and approaches being adopted by scholars of this subject in Europe and around the world, and ask 'why do we do it; what do we learn from the study of the history of our discipline?'.

David will explain how the Society, its Fellows and its publications have been intrinsic to the development of archaeological and heritage practice in England for 300 years, sponsoring some of the great excavations of the 19th and 20th centuries, and pioneering the monument protection legislation that, from small beginnings, now underpins modern heritage management practice. He will look forward to the Society's fourth century and to keeping the Society's mission alive and relevant, in part through the establishment of a European network of antiquarian bodies who gain strength from supporting each other's work as advocates for the heritage, independent of government and national heritage agencies.
Chris Evans is co-editor, with Tim Murray, of Histories of Archaeology, published by Oxford University Press in 2008. He is also co-founder of the Cambridge Archaeological Unit, based at the University of Cambridge, which has undertaken and published numerous excavations in England and overseas. Chris will give a critique of the way that 'norms' are established and embedded in archaeological practice. These then become self-reinforcing, when 'following the template' becomes the accepted way of conducting archaeology and publishing the results. Studying the histories of antiquarian societies suggests that today's archaeologists are still conforming to standards set down decades, if not centuries ago, and that, despite frequent calls for greater creativity in the conduct and communication of archaeology, innovation is in fact only for the very brave.
Willem Willems is Professor of Archaeological Resource Management and of Roman Archaeology at Leiden University in the Netherlands, as well as Dean of the Faculty of Archaeology. He studied at the universities of Amsterdam and Michigan, Ann Arbor and has worked mainly in archaeological heritage management, as State Archaeologist of the Netherlands and later as Chief Inspector for Archaeology. He is former President of the EAA, was the founding president of the Europæ Archæologiæ Consilium (EAC) and is currently co-president (with Douglas Comer, USA) of the ICOMOS Committee for Archaeological Heritage Management (ICAHM).
Willem's paper will address the manifold and complex issues surrounding the relationships between European archaeologies and those elsewhere in the world. He will explore how these issues relate to archaeological research, to managing archaeological resources and to the archaeological profession. He will also address the linguistic question, and the barriers to archaeological understanding and progress that result from the dominant use of English as the lingua franca of archaeological publication and debate.
Kristian Kristiansen is professor of archaeology at the University of Gothenburg, Sweden. He has published extensively on the Bronze Age (The Rise of Bronze Age Society, with Thomas Larsson, Cambridge University Press), archaeological theory (most recently in Archaeological Dialogues 2004 and 2008) and on archaeological heritage. He received the European Archaeological Heritage Prize from the European Association of Archaeologists in 2005 and the Society of American Archaeology's best book prize in 2007, for The Rise of Bronze Age Society.
His paper will look back at the 19th century origins of heritage management and look forward to the future based on an analysis of developer-funded excavation, or contract archaeology, in Europe. He will argue that the unifying principles enshrined in the Valletta Convention on the Protection of the Archaeological Heritage of 1992, intended to create commonality of practice, has in fact resulted in dramatic diversity, through its widely differing implementation by different European nations, and, indeed, among regions within nations, such as the federal states (landes) in Germany.
The paper will show that this variation comes down to, and originates from the same two different political principles of 'socialism' and 'capitalism' that are at the basis of so much division within European and global social and political philosophies.

Recent developments in the history of science have called for a revised history of archaeology and a move away from hagiography and presentations of scientific process as a linear development. Historians of archaeology are beginning to use new, and approved historiographical concepts and tools, both to trace how archaeological knowledge has been produced, and to reflect on the historical contexts under which this knowledge has been generated. This international workshop will assemble scholars in order to discuss innovative approaches and methods for writing histories of archaeological research.
The workshop is divided into four sections, in which various aspects of the history of archaeology will be discussed. These are the interrelations between research processes and social aspects, space as a central category in archaeological research and theory, the complex relations between science and politics, and materiality and concrete practices in archaeological research.
discussion of the visual representation of field research.
Sorting out useful approaches and learning how to adapt and modify them to fit our specific needs may help to develop fresh perspectives and to create a more comprehensive understanding on how archaeological research worked. Yet, it may not only open new perspectives on the construction of the past but also even shed light on general patterns of knowledge production in archaeology.
