Dear President Obama: Right after your election, somebody asked if I thought having a black president meant black people's concerns would now receive attention at the executive level. I told them I expected the opposite. There used to be a saying - only Nixon could go to China. Meaning, of course, that only he, as a staunch anti-communist, had the credibility to make overtures to that nation without accusations of being soft on communism. By the inverse of that political calculus, I never expected that you, as a black man, would do much to address black issues.
Second in a 2-part series What does ecological succession have to do with clear-cutting? In Part I of this article we covered shade tolerance and related it to clear-cutting as an option in sustainable forest management.We will continue to develop the idea in relation to ecological succession. Ecological succession is "The gradual and orderly process of change in an ecosystem brought about by the progressive replacement of one community by another until a stable climax is established" (Internet definition from http://www.thefreedictionary. com/ ecological+succession). A newly opened up forest stand, often by fire, is "colonized" by light-demanding intolerant species. This is an early "seral" stage of succession. As time goes on and the trees grow to close the forest canopy made up of th...
In this paper we discuss the meaning of newness in research in the times when new paradigms of science are emerging and the sciences have become more and more fragmentary. In the positivistic and monolithic era of social science, before Kuhn and year 1966, methodologies and methods interpreting newness were simpler. In this paper it is argued the newness is more and more in the text itself, and that the dynamics of texts comes from interrelations between the subject of the text (the researcher self) and the object of it (the research audience). Scientific knowledge becomes new when it is substantiated and connected to the prior one Writing the research reports is political by nature but so is also its reading. While citation index makes researchers powerful, in gaining decisions whom to...

In recent years, the term graphic novel, meaning an expanded form of the often-sneered-at comic book, has gained mainstream credibility. Once thought to be the genre of superheroes and overheated romance tales, the medium has grown in the last 20 years to incorporate all the themes literature struggles to address. A rash of newspaper articles followed the publication of Alan Moore's Watchmen and Frank Miller's The Dark Knight Returns in the late '80s, which purported that comics had finally grown up. But those journalists had failed to understand the proper place of comic books in Americana -- as folklore and mythology.
According to the Watson Wyatt 2007/2008 Communication ROI Study, effective employee communication is a leading indicator of financial performance, meaning that companies that invest in employee communication and implement or improve communication practices typically see higher subsequent financial returns. As communication professionals, their role is increasingly vital to the health and prosperity of the organizations they support. It's incumbent upon communicators to gather and present data so the value of effective communication is evident. Communicating without clear objectives leads to a fragmented and ineffective end. By engaging your audience and asking them what they need to do their jobs more effectively, you will be armed with first-hand data. Feedback from managers often poin...

She made her debut almost two weeks ago, the day after Labor Day, wearing a white jacket over a black top and skirt, and maybe all of America wasn't watching, but more were watching than were tuned in to NBC and ABC, which in the TV news business is of course what matters. Ever since, Katie Couric's much-anticipated appearance as America's first solo woman network news anchor has kept the CBS Evening News slightly in front of the competition, which is like Real Salt Lake leading the Major League Soccer standings. Even before Dan Rather took credibility off a cliff, CBS was the Green Party of network news -- dedicated, serious, well-meaning and perennially in third place.
Presidential historian and author Robert Dallek, often cites that great presidents tend to have the qualities of vision, pragmatism, consensus-building, charisma and trustworthiness to gain credibility with their fellow citizens. The political game in the past 20 years has dramatically changed the meaning of these last three qualities. The conduit that links consensus-building, charisma, and trustworthiness is money given to those running for high political office.
Since the governor did not like certain editors on the editorial page of the Chicago Tribune, he wanted them axed by the financiers of the paper. That respected editorial page has been calling for the governor's resignation and impeachment. One of the paper's financial backers was reported to have told the governor's team that there were some layoffs coming and that "section," meaning the editorial department, would be gutted. Well, even if the Tribune Company was contemplating such political maneuvers for financial reward (that would eventually be exposed anyway in a story) to fire some of its editors, they have now been put on alert with the public watching and would do anything to save face. If the tactic was to use layoffs to remove those editors, they will now have to resort to som...
