Richard Gale reflected that his sojourn in the West had been what his disgusted father had predicted — idling here and dreaming there, with no objective point or purpose.
It was reflection such as this, only more serious and perhaps somewhat desperate, that had brought Gale down to the border. For some time the newspapers had been printing news of Mexican revolution, guerrilla warfare, United States cavalry patrolling the international line, American cowboys fighting with the rebels, and wild stories of bold raiders and bandits. Regarding these rumors Gale was skeptical. But as opportunity, and adventure, too, had apparently given him a wide berth in Montana, Wyoming, Colorado, he had struck southwest for the Arizona border, where he hoped to see some stirring life. He did not care very much what happened. Months of futile wandering in the hope of finding a place where he fitted had inclined Richard to his father's opinion.
It was after dark one evening in early October when Richard arrived in Casita. He was surprised to find that it was evidently a town of importance. There was a jostling, jabbering, sombreroed crowd of Mexicans around the railroad station. He felt as if he were in a foreign country. After a while he saw several men of his nationality, one of whom he engaged to carry his luggage to a hotel. They walked up a wide well-lighted street lined with buildings in which were bright windows. Of the many people encountered by Gale most were Mexicans. His guide explained that the smaller half of Casita lay in Arizona, the other half in Mexico, and of several thousand inhabitants the majority belonged on the southern side of the street, which was the boundary line. He also said that rebels had entered the town that day, causing a good deal of excitement.
Gale was almost at the end of his financial resources, which fact occasioned him to turn away from a pretentious hotel and ask his guide for a cheaper lodging house. When this was found, a sight of the loungers in the office, and also a desire for comfort, persuaded Gale to change his traveling clothes for rough outing garb and boots.
"Well, I'm almost broke," he soliloquized, thoughtfully. "The governor said I wouldn't make any money. He's right — so far. And he said I'd be coming home beaten. There he's wrong. I've got a hunch that something'll happen to me in this Greaser town."
He went out into a wide, whitewashed, high-ceiled corridor, and from that into an immense room which, but for pool tables, bar, and benches, would have been like a courtyard. The floor was cobblestoned, the walls were of adobe, and the large windows opened like doors. A blue cloud of smoke filled the place. Gale heard the click of pool balls and the clink of glasses along the crowded bar. Barelegged, sandal-footed Mexicans in white rubbed shoulders with Mexicans mantled in black and red. There were others in tight-fitting blue uniforms with gold fringe or tassels at the shoulders. These men wore belts with heavy, bone-handled guns, and evidently were the rurales, or native policemen. There were black-bearded, coarse-visaged Americans, some gambling round the little tables, others drinking. The pool tables were the center of a noisy crowd of younger men, several of whom were unsteady on their feet. There were khaki-clad cavalrymen strutting in and out.
At one end of the room, somewhat apart from the general melee, was a group of six men round a little table, four of whom were seated, the other two standing. These last two drew a second glance from Gale. The sharp-featured, bronzed faces and piercing eyes, the tall, slender, loosely jointed bodies, the quiet, easy, reckless air that seemed to be a part of the men — these things would plainly have stamped them as cowboys without the buckled sombreros, the colored scarfs, the high-topped, high-heeled boots with great silver-roweled spurs. Gale did not fail to note, also, that these cowboys wore guns, and this fact was rather a shock to his idea of the modern West. It caused him to give some credence to the rumors of fighting along the border, and he felt a thrill.
He satisfied his hunger in a restaurant adjoining, and as he stepped back into the saloon a man wearing a military cape jostled him. Apologies from both were instant. Gale was moving on when the other stopped short as if startled, and, leaning forward, exclaimed:
"Dick Gale?"
"You've got me," replied Gale, in surprise. "But I don't know you."
He could not see the stranger's face, because it was wholly shaded by a wide-brimmed hat pulled well down.
"By Jove! It's Dick! If this isn't great! Don't you know me?"
"I've heard your voice somewhere," replied Gale. "Maybe I'll recognize you if you come out from under that bonnet."
For answer the man, suddenly manifesting thought of himself, hurriedly drew Gale into the restaurant, where he thrust back his hat to disclose a handsome, sunburned face.
"George Thorne! So help me —"
"'S-s-ssh. You needn't yell," interrupted the other, as he met Gale's outstretched hand. There was a close, hard, straining grip. "I must not be recognized here. There are reasons. I'll explain in a minute. Say, but it's fine to see you! Five years, Dick, five years since I saw you run down University Field and spread-eagle the whole Wisconsin football team."
"Don't recollect that," replied Dick, laughing. "George, I'll bet you I'm gladder to see you than you are to see me. It seems so long. You went into the army, didn't you?"
"I did. I'm here now with the Ninth Cavalry. But — never mind me. What're you doing way down here? Say, I just noticed your togs. Dick, you can't be going in for mining or ranching, not in this God-forsaken desert?"
"On the square, George, I don't know anymore why I'm here than — than you know."
"Well, that beats me!" ejaculated Thorne, sitting back in his chair, amaze and concern in his expression. "What the devil's wrong? Your old man's got too much money for you ever to be up against it. Dick, you couldn't have gone to the bad?"
A tide of emotion surged over Gale. How good it was to meet a friend — someone to whom to talk! He had never appreciated his loneliness until that moment.
"George, how I ever drifted down here I don't know. I didn't exactly quarrel with the governor. But — damn it, Dad hurt me — shamed me, and I dug out for the West. It was this way. After leaving college I tried to please him by tackling one thing after another that he set me to do. On the square, I had no head for business. I made a mess of everything. The governor got sore. He kept ramming the harpoon into me till I just couldn't stand it. What little ability I possessed deserted me when I got my back up, and there you are. Dad and I had a rather uncomfortable half hour. When I quit — when I told him straight out that I was going West to fare for myself, why, it wouldn't have been so tough if he hadn't laughed at me. He called me a rich man's son — an idle, easygoing, spineless swell. He said I didn't even have character enough to be out-and-out bad. He said I didn't have sense enough to marry one of the nice girls in my sister's crowd. He said I couldn't earn a dollar — that I'd starve out West, and couldn't get back home unless I sent to him for money. He said he didn't believe I could fight — could really make a fight for anything under the sun. Oh — he — he shot it into me, all right."
Dick dropped his head upon his hands, somewhat ashamed of the smarting dimness in his eyes. He had not meant to say so much. Yet what a relief to let out that long-congested burden!
"Fight!" cried Thorne, hotly. "What's ailing him? Didn't they call you Biff Gale in college? Dick, you were one of the best men Stagg ever developed. I heard him say so — that you were the fastest one-hundred-and-seventy-five-pound man he'd ever trained, the hardest to stop."
"The governor didn't count football," said Dick. "He didn't mean that kind of a fight. When I left home I don't think I had an idea what was wrong with me. But George, I think I know now. I was a rich man's son — spoiled, dependent, absolutely ignorant of the value of money. I haven't yet discovered any earning capacity in me. I seem to be unable to do anything with my hands. That's the trouble. But I'm at the end of my tether now. And I'm going to punch cattle or be a miner, or do some real stunt — like joining the rebels."
"Aha! I thought you'd spring that last one on me," declared Thorne, wagging his head. "Well, you just forget it. Say, old boy, there's something doing in Mexico. The United States in general doesn't realize it. But across that line there are crazy revolutionists, ill-paid soldiers, guerrilla leaders, raiders, robbers, outlaws, bandits galore, starving peons by the thousand, girls and women in terror. Mexico is like some of her volcanoes — ready to erupt fire and hell! Don't make the awful mistake of joining the rebel forces. Americans are hated by Mexicans of the lower class — the fighting class, both rebel and federal. Half the time these crazy Greasers are on one side, then on the other. If you didn't starve or get shot in ambush, or die of thirst, some Greaser would knife you in the back for your belt buckle or boots. There are a good many Americans with the rebels eastward toward Agua Prieta and Juarez. Orozco is operating in Chihuahua, and I guess he has some idea of warfare. But this is Sonora, a mountainous desert, the home of the slave and the Yaqui. There's unorganized revolt everywhere. The American miners and ranchers, those who could get away, have fled across into the States, leaving property. Those who couldn't or wouldn't come must fight for their lives, are fighting now."
"That's bad," said Gale. "It's news to me. Why doesn't the government take action, do something?"
"Afraid of international complications. Don't want to offend the Maderists, or be criticized by jealous foreign nations. It's a delicate situation, Dick. The Washington officials know the gravity of it, you can bet. But the United States in general is in the dark, and the army — well, you ought to hear the inside talk back at San Antonio. We're patrolling the boundary line. We're making a grand bluff. I could tell you of a dozen instances where cavalry should have pursued raiders on the other side of the line. But we won't do it. The officers are a grouchy lot these days. You see, of course, what significance would attach to United States cavalry going into Mexican territory. There would simply be hell. My own colonel is the sorest man on the job. We're all sore. It's like sitting on a powder magazine. We can't keep the rebels and raiders from crossing the line. Yet we don't fight. My commission expires soon. I'll be discharged in three months. You can bet I'm glad for more reasons than I've mentioned."
Thorne was evidently laboring under strong, suppressed excitement. His face showed pale under the tan, and his eyes gleamed with a dark fire. Occasionally his delight at meeting, talking with Gale, dominated the other emotions, but not for long. He had seated himself at a table near one of the door-like windows leading into the street, and every little while he would glance sharply out. Also he kept consulting his watch.
These details gradually grew upon Gale as Thorne talked.
"George, it strikes me that you're upset," said Dick presently. "I seem to remember you as a coolheaded fellow whom nothing could disturb. Has the army changed you?"
Thorne laughed. It was a laugh with a strange, high note. It was reckless — it hinted of exaltation. He rose abruptly; he gave the waiter money to go for drinks; he looked into the saloon, and then into the street. On this side of the house there was a porch opening on a plaza with trees and shrubbery and branches. Thorne peered out one window, then another. His actions were rapid. Returning to the table, he put his hands upon it and leaned over to look closely into Gale's face.
"I'm away from camp without leave," he said.
"Isn't that a serious offense?" asked Dick.
"Serious? For me, if I'm discovered, it means ruin. There are rebels in town. Any moment we might have trouble. I ought to be ready for duty — within call. If I'm discovered it means arrest. That means delay — the failure of my plans — ruin."
Gale was silenced by his friend's intensity. Thorne bent over closer with his dark eyes searchingly bright.
"We were old pals — once?"
"Surely," replied Dick.
"What would you say, Dick Gale, if I told you that you're the one man I'd rather have had come along than any other at this crisis of my life?"
The earnest gaze, the passionate voice with its deep tremor drew Dick upright, thrilling and eager, conscious of strange, unfamiliar impetuosity.
"Thorpe, I should say I was glad to be the fellow," replied Dick.
Their hands locked for a moment, and they sat down again with heads close over the table.
"Listen," began Thorne, in low, swift whisper, "a few days, a week ago — it seems like a year! — I was of some assistance to refugees fleeing from Mexico into the States. They were all women, and one of them was dressed as a nun. Quite by accident I saw her face. It was that of a beautiful girl. I observed she kept aloof from the others. I suspected a disguise, and, when opportunity afforded, spoke to her, offered my services. She replied to my poor efforts at Spanish in fluent English. She had fled in terror from her home, someplace down in Sinaloa. Rebels are active there. Her father was captured and held for ransom. When the ransom was paid the rebels killed him. The leader of these rebels was a bandit named Rojas. Long before the revolution began he had been feared by people of class — loved by the peons. Bandits are worshiped by the peons. All of the famous bandits have robbed the rich and given to the poor. Rojas saw the daughter, made off with her. But she contrived to bribe her guards, and escaped almost immediately before any harm befell her. She hid among friends. Rojas nearly tore down the town in his efforts to find her. Then she disguised herself, and traveled by horseback, stage, and train to Casita.
"Her story fascinated me, and that one fleeting glimpse I had of her face I couldn't forget. She had no friends here, no money. She knew Rojas was trailing her. This talk I had with her was at the railroad station, where all was bustle and confusion. No one noticed us, so I thought. I advised her to remove the disguise of a nun before she left the waiting-room. And I got a boy to guide her. But he fetched her to this house. I had promised to come in the evening to talk over the situation with her.
"I found her, Dick, and when I saw her — I went stark, staring, raving mad over her. She is the most beautiful, wonderful girl I ever saw. Her name is Mercedes Castañeda, and she belongs to one of the old wealthy Spanish families. She has lived abroad and in Havana. She speaks French as well as English. She is — but I must be brief.
"Dick, think, think! With Mercedes also it was love at first sight. My plan is to marry her and get her farther to the interior, away from the border. It may not be easy. She's watched. So am I. It was impossible to see her without the women of this house knowing. At first, perhaps, they had only curiosity — an itch to gossip. But the last two days there has been a change. Since last night there's some powerful influence at work. Oh, these Mexicans are subtle, mysterious! After all, they are Spaniards. They work in secret, in the dark. They are dominated first by religion, then by gold, then by passion for a woman. Rojas must have got word to his friends here; yesterday his gang of cutthroat rebels arrived, and today he came. When I learned that, I took my chance and left camp; I hunted up a priest. He promised to come here. It's time he's due. But I'm afraid he'll be stopped."
"Thorpe, why don't you take the girl and get married without waiting, without running these risks?" said Dick.
"I fear it's too late now. I should have done that last night. You see, we're over the line —"
"Are we in Mexican territory now?" queried Gale, sharply.
"I guess yes, old boy. That's what complicates it. Rojas and his rebels have Casita in their hands. But Rojas without his rebels would be able to stop me, get the girl, and make for his mountain haunts. If Mercedes is really watched — if her identity is known, which I am sure is the case — we couldn't get far from this house before I'd be knifed and she seized."
"Good Heavens! Thorne, can that sort of thing happen less than a stone's throw from the United States line?" asked Gale, incredulously.
"It can happen, and don't you forget it. You don't seem to realize the power these guerrilla leaders, these rebel captains, and particularly these bandits, exercise over the mass of Mexicans. A bandit is a man of honor in Mexico. He is feared, envied, loved. In the hearts of the people he stands next to the national idol — the bullfighter, the matador. The race has a wild, barbarian, bloody strain. Take Quinteros, for instance. He was a peon, a slave. He became a famous bandit. At the outbreak of the revolution he proclaimed himself a leader, and with a band of followers he devastated whole counties. The opposition to federal forces was only a blind to rob and riot and carry off women. The motto of this man and his followers was: 'Let us enjoy ourselves while we may!'
"There are other bandits besides Quinteros, not so famous or such great leaders, but just as bloodthirsty. I've seen Rojas. He's a handsome, bold, sneering devil, vainer than any peacock. He decks himself in gold lace and silver trappings, in all the finery he can steal. He was one of the rebels who helped sack Sinaloa and carry off half a million in money and valuables. Rojas spends gold like he spills blood. But he is chiefly famous for abducting women. The peon girls consider it an honor to be ridden off with. Rojas has shown a penchant for girls of the better class."

This was one of the best books by Zane Grey that I've read. I really enjoyed the surprises and action that took place in the town and on the ranch along the American\Mexican borders. I absolutly thought that the romance and risks taken for love and friendship were heart string pullers. No matter what you expect to happen you still get a feeling of shock and sorrow or joy at the outcome of the gun fights and other points of action. One of my favorite things about the writings of Zane Grey is that he makes you feel as though you can see what goes on very vividly in your mind's eye. When you read about someone lurking around or peeking in the window you almost feel that you yourself are the one viewing the person spying in at the characters in the room. If you enjoy stories of love and hate in the old west then I would most definitely recomend this book to you.

Warner Bros. bets on us all wanting Wonder Woman 3
Patrick Gomez
Gal Gadot in Wonder Woman 1984
Photo: HBO Max
Amid the mixed reviews and critical fan reaction of Wonder Woman 1984, Warner Bros. has fast-tracked the development of a third Wonder Woman film. "As fans around the world continue to embrace Diana Prince, driving the strong opening weekend performance of Wonder Woman 1984, we are excited to be able to continue her story with our real life Wonder Women—Gal and Patty—who will return to conclude the long-planned theatrical trilogy," Warner Bros. chief Toby Emmerich said in a statement released to The A.V. Club on Sunday.
The announcement comes after a relatively impressive box office haul over the weekend following its simultaneous Christmas Day release in theaters and on HBO Max. While health experts tell The A.V. Club that a movie theater is pretty much the last place they would visit during the COVID-19 pandemic, the studio reports that Wonder Woman 1984 "took in an estimated $36.1 million globally from 42 markets in release this weekend (including U.S. and Canada). This takes the international running cume to $68.3 million, and the worldwide tally to $85 million." The studio also says "nearly half" of HBO Max's 12.6 million active users watched the film on December 25.
"Wonder Woman 1984 broke records and exceeded our expectations across all of our key viewing and subscriber metrics in its first 24 hours on the service, and the interest and momentum we're seeing indicates this will likely continue well beyond the weekend," says Andy Forssell, head of WarnerMedia's direct-to-consumer business. "During these very difficult times, it was nice to give families the option of enjoying this uplifting film at home, where theater viewing wasn't an option."
No additional details have been released in terms of timing or plot for Wonder Woman 3, but fans only have a short wait to see Wonder Woman in the highly anticipated Snyder Cut, which will hit HBO Max as a four-hour miniseries in 2021.

Practicum and internship are conceived to be that phase of the School Counseling concentration in which a counselor' in-training is able to crystallize his or her educational experiences by translating theoretical constructs into practice. This type of supervised practice in school counseling is generally viewed as an experience that assists the prospective counselor to function effectively in a future employment situation. It serves as a bridge between the theoretical and the real. It is an opportunity for the counselor' in-training to apply what he or she has learned from the more didactic portion of the School Counseling Program.
Students entering practicum/internship training may find it necessary to make special arrangements with their employer, including taking a leave of absence, to fulfill this requirement. Students will need to arrange their schedule to complete this degree requirement.
Please note that local school boards may charge school counseling students a fee for practicum/internship placement in a school with a cooperating school counselor. Should a student elect to complete their practicum/internship in a school district that requires such a fee, it will be the student's responsibility to submit the fee on the designated day and time stipulated by the school board staff in accordance with their guidelines.
Practicum responsibilities require students to spend 100 hours (40 of which are direct student contact hours) at a Pre-K–12 grade school setting. It is a distinct experience where students gain basic counseling skills and professional knowledge which may include individual and small-group counseling, classroom guidance presentations, consultation, parent conferencing, individual and large group testing, involvement in the exceptional student education process, and other experiences relevant to the practicum setting. This experience is completed over the course of one 15-week semester (3 credit hours) and is to familiarize students with the role of the professional school counselor prior to internship. Students spend approximately 7 hours per week at a school.
Internship is an experience which requires students to spend 600 hours (240 of which are direct student contact hours) in a Pre-K–12 grade school setting. Students integrate knowledge acquired in the classroom to real, on the job supervised training. This experience enhances basic professional school counseling skills in the student academic, social/emotional, and career counseling areas. The six credit hours of internship afford students an opportunity to work with a variety of students, parents, and teachers over time. NSU ascribes to the American School Counselor Association National Model for school counseling programs and supports experiences that include leadership, student advocacy, collaboration and teaming, and systemic change.
Completion of one 15-week semester where the student will be required to complete a minimum of 40 hours per week in a school setting.
Completion of two continuous 15-week semesters where the student will be required to complete a minimum of 20 hours per week in a school setting.
Students employed by the school system will be required to obtain permission from their principal or designated school official for release time to pursue their internship requirement. NSU policy does not allow students to complete their internship at the school where they currently work, even if school districts and/or principals provide permission. Please be advised that waiver of practicum and internship experience for any reason will not be permitted. The student must file an application for practicum and internship and receive approval by NSU prior to registering for these courses.
The practicum and internship class schedule is a departure from the typical intensive weekend format. In addition to the experiential work required for practicum over one semester and for internship over one or two continuous semester/s, students will participate in bi-weekly group supervision meetings with NSU students and faculty members at the university. Additionally during practicum, individual or triadic supervision will take place on the alternate week with a university supervisor. Individual and group supervision meetings are held on evenings during the week. Specific details on practicum and internship are provided to students at the appropriate time in their program or upon request. Please be advised that during practicum and internship, students may also be enrolled in regularly scheduled intensive weekend classes.
*Note: Course must be completed with a grade of 'B' or better.
Students entering Practicum and Internship will be charged a nominal fee for liability insurance coverage provided under the College of Psychology's group policy. All students are required to abide by the Ethical Standards of the American School Counselor Association and the American Counseling Association, as well as to the policies and procedures of the College of Psychology and the laws, rules, and regulations of the school districts where placed.

Essay on The Role of Women in World War II
Leading up to World War One women did all the work around the house while men worked in factories and other jobs that women were excluded from doing. The reasons for this shift of occupations was still deeply rooted in gender inequality and unreasonable expectations of women. Women played an important roles during World War II throughout the world; they gave their time, energy, and some even gave their lives. Many restrictions applied to their womanhood and not being able to work was one of them. Traditionally, women were restricted to household obligations and discouraged from working outside the home Bucher 367. Another cause of World War II was Fascism.

Women were mistreated by men and did not feel like they had what was necessary to be as powerful as they wanted to be. In the west, women took a more auxiliary role than in the USSR.

The national office of The Knights' feels it is in the best interests of the organization to maintain an on going and friendly relationship with media personnel. Those who enter this field have often been given less credit than they deserve. We find that the character flaws attributed to many calling themselves liberals as most members of the media do, are in truth strengths that we find noble in all other segments of society – compassion, sharing, community, warrior for the underdog, etc. Our only contention is that those in real need of compassion, understanding, and a hero are white people – the earth's true minority race.
On only a few occasions have we ever met a member of the media who we did not find to be a likable, intelligent, searching personality – man or woman. It is our belief that for the most part, the media excluding the entertainment houses do not go out of their way to malign or destroy the character of white separatist organizations such as ours. Pastor Robb has always pointed out a very real truth regarding the negative or positive portrayal of such groups, "If you say something stupid, it will probably get printed. If you act like a social reject, it will be on TV. So if that happened to you, you have no one to blame, but yourself. Just don't say stupid things or act in a moronic fashion or associate with those who do". Of course as a media professional you no doubt say "duh".
Usually Klan groups get bad press because they are just small local groups with a few members. They aren't a large organization, they have no training, and they are usually only around seven maybe eight years old. We hope you keep this in mind when you do a story about the white separatist movement.
Sometimes a new reporter, eager to write a big story, will make the subject of their story appear more important to the movement than he really is in order to give the story more prominence. The headline may read, "John Doe, leader in racist movement, says, thus and thus." In fact, John Doe probably no more represents the separatist movement than a Democrat who only participates on a local basis can be considered a "leader" of the Democratic Party.
There are legitimate leaders in the racialist movement such as David Duke, Pastor Robb, Don Black, or Rachel Pendergraft. These are all people who act and speak in a responsible manner. However, many of those featured by media outlets can't be considered bona fide leaders. A&E network was caught recently paying so-called Klan leaders to say crazy things and fictionalizing much of their content. What other news outlets have done this and not been outed? The "leaders" that are often highlighted do not fit any of the criteria established for leaders in the separatist or alt-right movement, which would include length of involvement, education, writing and speaking ability, broad nationwide or trans-continental base of support, full-time versus weekend activity, etc. Reporters should be careful to verify the status of those they report on.
The story does not appear credible when it is about a "leader" who has only been involved a couple of years or his sole activity is holding rallies on the weekend with some friends. This, though news grabbing, does not constitute a leader in the white cause. We have seen stories quoting odd remarks made by a "leader" of the movement when in all actuality the leader was a high school student with a website. Who ever wrote the story either purposely intended to puff up the piece by making their subject appear to be a prominent individual or they just lacked any investigative talents.
We are always happy to work with members of the media on any projects they may have. We do however, restrict this to actual news agencies or outlets. We ask that consideration be given to our view point to at least the extent that we are given a fair unbiased report. That is all we ask. We know you have a job to do not an agenda to push. And we hope to be able to work together to give an accurate portrayal of the beliefs of the vast majority of those who adhere to the ideas of the white Christian right.

Interview with TRAILS editor for Science, Knowledge, and Technology Alecia Anderson, PhD.
Recently, Dan Morrison corresponded with Dr. Alecia Anderson, an Assistant Professor of Sociology at the University of Nebraska at Omaha. In an email interview, Dr. Anderson described her work with the TRAILS database, its strengths in science and technology, and her desire to see many more resources — of all types — in the database. The interview has been lightly edited.
Morrison: How did you get involved in TRAILS?
Anderson: I've only been the editor for the Theory, Knowledge, Science area for a few months so I'm actually pretty new to TRAILS. The current editor, Julie Pelton, is a colleague, and she recruited me. I teach courses on theory for the Sociology Department at UNO so she thought my teaching interests in theory and my dedication to active learning in the classroom would make a good fit for the area editor position. I've been using TRAILS activities in my classes for a while, too, and had colleagues from grad school who published their activities so I've had a long connection to TRAILS. It's fun to be a part of it as an area editor now!
Morrison: What areas do you oversee, and how do the area editor roles get distributed?
Anderson: Theory, Knowledge and Science includes a couple of areas – the history of sociology and social thought, sociology of knowledge, and science and technology. If you look at the areas in TRAILS you can kind of see that they mirror the ASA sections. So my areas are probably most closely aligned with your section, Science, Knowledge at Technology, as well as History of Sociology, and maybe Rationality and Society.
Most of the area editors are recruited or apply for the positions. I think that they take teaching and research expertise into account to make sure that the editors are qualified to edit those areas. We have to send a CV before we are appointed to the position.
Sometimes, interested people contact the editor directly but I just found out that TRAILS has recently started to work more closely with some of the ASA sections to recruit nominations for area editors from those sections. This will give section members an opportunity to take a more active role now that TRAILS an ASA member benefit. SKAT might be able to work with TRAILS when my term is up in three years.
Morrison: Do you have any favorite resources in the Knowledge & Tech area that SKAT newsletter readers should know about?
Anderson: We published a syllabus in 2010 for a course entitled "The Sociology of the University", by Daniel Kleinman, that is pretty cool. The course explores the social organization and also some of the cultural components of modern universities. It is actually from the Science Knowledge and Technology syllabi set so it is one of the original resources in TRAILS.
We also published a research paper assignment, developed by Kristin Holster, which uses science fiction novels to flesh out the impacts of technology on society. The assignment requires that students evaluate both technology in the novel and technology in present day society.
Honestly, though, there really aren't that many resources in these areas so it would be great if people from your section would submit some of the innovative things they do in their courses. I would love to see more resources for people who teach about these topics.
Morrison: What areas are you most interested in reviewing/where is the most need?
Anderson: We really need everything! When you search through TRAILS resources, there are about 30 syllabi under Science and Technology but those are from the syllabi set, like I mentioned, and that was published in 2003 so we could really use some up-to-date syllabi. There aren't very many activities or assignments either – in all of the areas, really. There are some resources that focus on history of sociology, knowledge, and rational choice published in other subject areas (i.e. Introduction to Sociology or Theory), but we do not have current resources in the Theory, Knowledge and Technology area specifically. So, I'd love to review submissions for any of those areas.
Morrison: Are there any downsides to contributing material to TRAILS, and what do people misunderstand about the process?
Anderson: I don't know that there are any downsides to publishing in TRAILS. I guess you could make the case that because the database is only accessible to people who have a subscription that your materials wouldn't be totally publicly available. But like you say in your piece on the SKAT website, the fact that TRAILS doesn't cost ASA members more money now that it is a member benefit is a good thing. And there is definitely an up side to publishing in TRAILS. Not many disciplines can say that they have a way to publish peer reviewed teaching innovations. Having a citation and being able to say that your syllabus or assignment went through the peer review process gives authors the ability to say there is good evidence of their teaching excellence – especially if they are going through the promotion and tenure process. Another thing that sets TRAILS apart is that as area editors, we are really encouraged to be supportive of authors as we are reviewing submissions and giving feedback. I'd definitely consider that to be an upside too. The process of contributing to TRAILS is more like mentoring, which isn't always how you feel when working with reviewers for other types of publication.
In terms of the process, we get a lot of submissions that are high quality and that shows that a lot of people really understand the process and what TRAILS submissions are supposed to look and feel like. I would say that the thing I am talking about the most when I write up a review is the learning goals. Each syllabus or activity or assignment is supposed have a set of student learning outcomes and ways to assess those goals. I think we all have learning goals and we all know when we see students accomplish them but it's hard to put them into words or to make sure that they are really about measuring learning in specific ways. I guess that's not really about misunderstanding the process but more about how to write up that cool thing you do in your class for a TRAILS publication. The other tricky thing is making sure that you provide enough detail for anyone who teaches sociology to be able to use your resource in their own class. Area editors are really trying to make sure that there are good instructions that are easy to follow when we read over a submission.
Morrison: TRAILS has an intriguing "I" in the title — innovations. What do you think this means for the project? In what ways has TRAILS been innovative or fostered innovation in teaching and learning?
Anderson: The innovation piece of TRAILS refers to new and creative ideas that the publication presents and shares. A major emphasis of TRAILS is to be part of the public conversation about what are considered to be best practices in teaching, which includes showing how the teaching innovations help students learn. The fact that we have a two stage peer review process which guides the selection of resources is also very unique – there are a lot of places to turn when you are looking for teaching ideas but very few can say that the activities or assignments have been vetted by individuals who are experts in their field. The kinds of resources that you will find in TRAILS also makes it an innovative database – we don't just have syllabi and class activities, which are definitely what most users are looking for when they search in TRAILS of course; we also have lists of films that can be used in classes, powerpoint presentations, essays or lectures, semester long projects, etc. We are always looking for new and creative submissions – if it could be useful in the teaching of sociology, we are open to looking at whether it makes sense to publish!
Morrison: Can you say something about where TRAILS is going and what innovations it could provide in the future?
Anderson: Well, like I mentioned before, the fact that TRAILS is now a member benefit is really changing how we see the library and is opening up new and innovative directions. One of the things that has worked really well is to created edited collections – there are collections created by ASA past Presidents, for example that are used a lot. The increased collaboration with ASA sections means that we can start to work with them on created edited collections too. So, for SKAT that could mean that your members submit resources and we put them together into a collection or a member goes through TRAILS and pulls together resources that have already been published. If anyone is interested in this kind of opportunity, they should get in touch! We really like the kind of work that we are doing with you right now – publishing about TRAILS on section websites and in turn seeing if there are ways that TRAILS can advertise about the great teaching innovations going on in sections. For examples, we could link to your page through our Facebook page. We'd love it if all of the SKAT members who are interested in teaching followed our Facebook page of course! We are also looking to strengthen our ties and the kinds of resources we have available to high school instructors as well as people teaching community colleges. In terms of the future of innovations, we see a need to have more resources dealing with the use of technology in the classroom and online teaching methods, which might be of interest to SKAT members too.
Morrison: Sociologists of science and knowledge have investigated the social structuring and inequalities that can play a role in peer review. How does TRAILS try to avoid some of those pitfalls, such as a regression towards the mean, privileging prestigious and/or "mainstream" voices over emergent and less popular perspectives?
Anderson: Let me start to answer that question by tying it back to what I just mentioned in terms of doing more to support teaching in high school and community college, I think it is important to note that TRAILS resources already come from a really diverse group of sociologists. They include people who are well recognized in the scholarship of teaching and learning, for sure, but when we look at their respective institutions there is a lot of diversity – community colleges, urban universities, etc. This is true of area editors as well. So, one way that TRAILS can avoid some of those pitfalls in the peer review process is to make sure that the people who are making decisions about what is publishable come from a variety of experiences and backgrounds and that we don't reproduce those inequalities that you are referring to. And like I said, there is a diverse representation of publications that are aimed at diverse audiences, ranging from high school through graduate/ professional courses included in TRAILS. So, I hope that there are [not] any voices that are being privileged in the process of publishing resources. TRAILS feels pretty open to a variety of voices, not like we are only publishing work from the most prestigious or mainstream institutions or voices or perspectives. I think teaching innovations libraries can be a place where we challenge those mainstream assumptions that good sociology only comes out of the top schools and from groups of people who are privileged by the system of publish or perish.
Daniel Morrison is a Research Fellow at the Center for Biomedical Ethics and Society at the Vanderbilt University Medical Center, and he is a member of the SKAT Publications Committee.
All ASA members now have access to TRAILS (Teaching Resources and Innovations Library for Sociology–we love our acronyms!), a teaching resource repository included in the annual membership fee. This is a welcome change since access to TRAILS previously cost $25/year, and many faculty, both tenure-track and those working outside the tenure-track, found this expense unreasonable. There is nothing worse than being nickeled-and-dimed by your professional organization! As a former TT faculty member at a teaching-intensive institution with few resources, this extra expense came out of my own pocket.
For SKAT scholars, TRAILS has some important material from many of our sub-discipline's top scholars. TRAILS is a potentially valuable resource for those teaching courses in SKAT-related fields and can also provide important insights into how our colleagues are introducing the field to future scholars. In this brief review, I describe the types of resources currently available in the repository, provide short descriptions of exemplary entries, and conclude with a call for your participation.
As of mid-February, there are 34 items categorized as "Science and Technology" in the TRAILS database, including 32 syllabi and two writing assignments. Of these materials, 33 were published in 2010, the inaugural year for TRAILS and one was published in 2015. Syllabi are categorized by "grade level." Syllabi labeled "College 100" are intended for first-year students, "College 200" for second-years, and so on. Among the 32 syllabi in the database, five are level 100, seven are level 200, nine are level 300, four are level 400, six are the graduate level, and one is listed as uncategorized. Among the writing assignments, one is at the 300 level and the other is listed as appropriate for all undergraduates.
One of the more interesting writing assignments was created by Kristin Holster of Dean College. For this assignment, students read and analyze one of four texts: 1984 by George Orwell, Fahrenheit 451 by Ray Bradbury, Foundation by Isaac Asimov, or Brave New World by Aldous Huxley. Students write a short paper identifying five technologies in the book that did not exist when it was published and comparing them to five technologies that exist today. Students also discuss how the technologies reflect the social conditions of the author's time and place. Finally, students write about the social impact of their selected technologies, citing appropriate evidence from course readings, outside sources, and the novel itself.
In the write-up about the assignment, Dr. Holster cites pedagogical research which suggests that nontraditional readings can provide accessible means to explore sociological ideas and concepts. In this case, science fiction requires the reader to develop critical and analytic skills.
To help students consider the reciprocal impact of technology on society and society on the development of technology.
To develop students' ability to apply the concepts learned throughout the semester to specific examples from a science fiction novel.
To help students improve research skills by requiring them to locate and critically evaluate evidence from internet sources.
Holster's assignment is an excellent example of the creative work we often find in SKAT scholarship. I encourage those whose interest is piqued to download this assignment and adapt it for your own courses.
In addition to the two writing assignments currently in the TRAILS database, many scholars, both junior and senior, have contributed their syllabi. This is a particularly rich set of documents, contributed by major SKAT scholars, such as Adele Clarke, Jennifer Croissant, Mary Frank Fox, Scott Frickel, Tom Gieryn, Daniel Kleinman, Michael Lynch, Alondra Nelson, Laurel Smith-Doerr, and Stephen Zehr. Obviously, this is an incomplete list, and picking from them is quite daunting!
The "grade level" and topical diversity of these offerings is significant, from Mary Frank Fox's directed study course on women in science and engineering to courses on gender and technology from Adele Clarke and Maren Klawiter. There are several strong graduate level syllabi. In Tom Gieryn's syllabus, he provocatively argues that the sociology of science has run out of steam and is in need of revitalization. Scott Frickel's graduate course begins with an analysis of the structure of science as an institution and ends with an examination of current controversies in genetics and environmental risk. Daniel Kleinman's graduate syllabus is noteworthy in its organization, covering many of the "highlights" of our subfield while offering students pathways for further exploration in the field.
A few syllabi cover more specialized topics. For example, Christopher Hencke's course on science and technology in the workplace for advanced undergraduates and graduate students asks students to consider both the transformation of work and workplaces, and the construction of technologies that guide, limit, and change the meaning of work itself. Daniel Kleinman's "Sociology of the University" course asks how institutions of higher education are changing in an era of globalization and fiscal austerity. In addition, this course reviews the state of knowledge production, the politics of disciplinarity/interdisciplinarity, the role of public intellectuals, and the commercialization of the university.
Although TRAILS accepts items in several categories, including assessments, bibliographies, class activities, essays, images, lectures, PowerPoint, videos, and websites, few of these resources carry the "Science and Technology" label. In addition, it has been about six years since the bulk of resources were uploaded into the TRAILS database. Therefore, I end this post with a call for participation. What effective teaching ideas do you have that others could learn from? With only 34 resources, there is a lot of room to grow, particularly for assignments, exams, bibliographies, videos, and other teaching resources. Syllabi are still welcome, too! Visit the TRAILS website to learn about how to submit.

Edgar J. Kaufmann made architectural history twice. First, when he hired Frank Lloyd Wright to design his home, Fallingwater, in Pennsylvania in 1935 and again in 1946 when he commissioned Richard Neutra to create his famed Desert House in Palm Springs. After undergoing a five-year restoration by Marmol Radziner, the Desert House is on the market at $25 million.
After Kaufmann died in 1955, the home went through a series of owners including singer Barry Manilow and Gene Klein who was one of California's most successful used-car dealers and owner of the San Diego Chargers. After some questionable renovations and years of neglect, the home was purchased in 1992 by an architectural historian and her husband who spent years restoring the home to its original design. Kaufmann, owner of Kaufmann's department store in Pittsburgh, which later became Macy's, was a patron of the arts in the Steel City and contributed heavily toward their advancement. A prominent leader in the retail world, Kaufmann took over the family business at age 28 and quickly tripled the flagship store's sales, eventually expanding the number of stores to 59 across five Midwestern states. Kaufmann led the good life of great wealth which allowed him to give back to his city by making large financial contributions to develop its cultural offerings including opera, building the city's Civic Center and supporting local artists by commissioning their work.
Measuring 3,162 square feet with the San Jacinto Mountains as its background, the Desert House was one of Palm Springs' earliest modern-style homes that has now grown to the largest collection in the United States including John Lautner's Hope Residence for Bob and Dolores Hope and his Elrod House as seen in the James Bond flick Diamonds Are Forever, Frank Sinatra's Twin Palms, the Elvis Presley honeymoon home, and the Dinah Shore Estate that is now owned by Leonardo DiCaprio.
The Desert House has five bedrooms and six full baths – a good size to accommodate family and friends who crave a vacation in the California sunshine to escape the snow and sleet of the northern cities. The house itself became a celebrity only a year after its completion when architectural- photographer Julius Schulman created a black-and-white photograph of the house, which gave it international attention and praise. Over twenty years later in 1970, society-photographer Slim Aarons' photo "Poolside Gossip" of two women talking by the home's pool has become a classic as popular today as when it was taken. Constructed of steel, glass and stone on an open floor plan, almost all Desert House rooms open to attractive outdoor scenery. The living room has a floor-to-ceiling stone fireplace and the entertainment lounge has a bar and is also open to the outdoors, all in California style with vanishing thresholds between indoor and outdoor living space. In addition to a desert garden, the back opens to emerald green grass and plantings surrounding the large pool terrace with stunning mountain views, all sited on over two acres.
The Kaufmann Desert House, having undergone a five-year restoration by Marmol Radziner, and is now for sale at $25 million.

Joe Biden "I'm Getting A Dog" He was promised the post-election dog by his wife, Jill, who would tape pictures of different dogs on the back of the seat in front of Biden on his campaign plane.
Biden On This Week December 21/08 ]"I've had German shepherds since I was a kid and I've actually trained them and shown them in the past," Biden said on ABC's "This Week" last Sunday.
Biden also revealed that his family will be getting another dog, this time from a pound, for Jill Biden, perhaps a golden retriever.
After gathering the whole family around the Christmas tree , Vice President-elect Joe Biden's grandchildren announced the name of his new German shepherd puppy. His grandchildren decided on Champ because that is what Joe Biden's father called Joe when times were tough.
In 2006, the AKC's Management Disciplinary Committee (page 7) has suspended Ms. Linda Brown, Spring City, PA, from all AKC privileges for one year, effective April 10, 2006, and imposed a $1000 fine for having submitted or caused to be submitted three litter registration applications that she knew, should have known, or had a duty to know contained false certifications as to the sire and/or dam (DNA exclusion).
Linda Brown besides being the owner of Jolindy German Shepherds is also the owner of Wolf Den Kennel, 723 Saylors Mill, Spring City, PA, 19475, and on Dec 10/08 failed to meet the requirements when her kennel was inspected by the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania, Bureau of Dog Law Enforcement ,Kennel Inspection.
She failed to meet maintenance, ventilation, sanitation standards required by Commonwealth of Pennsylvania, Bureau of Dog Law Enforcement, and she also failed to produce all records for dogs sold/boarded/adopted/ transferred/returned to owner during the 2008 calendar year. Numerous records possessed by kennel owner, failed to contain the complete name and address of where dogs went. Bills of sale were not available for review. Rabies vaccination records were not available for review. Despite an indication by kennel owner that all dogs on the premises that were 3 months and older were vaccination for rabies, kennel owner was unable to produce all records on the date of this inspection.
Ugh. I'm sorely upset about this—not to mention worried that his supporters will now all run out and get purebred German shepherds. I mean, not only is it really out of touch with dog issues to buy a dog from a breeder—or plain cold-hearted—it's such a bad idea that one New Mexico county has just banned selling dogs from pet stores altogether. At least some Americans know what's up. So what's with our future vice president?
If it weren't bad enough that Biden chose to buy from a breeder, we are now trying to confirm the accuracy of a report that was sent to us alleging that he bought his dog from a known puppy mill operator! An anti–puppy mill activist who claims to have firsthand knowledge of this particular breeder's operation writes, "When I was there, she had dogs living outside in [I]gloos and a large side building wrapped in blue plastic … the barking was deafening … her inspection report states approximately 100 breeding dogs … she sold more than 275 dogs in 2006 … it was a stupid move on Biden's part … a puppy mill, for sure." Wow, Biden—if this is true, you've left us speechless.
"Biden has also been a stalwart friend of animal welfare advocates in the Senate, and is one of only seven senators to receive the highest score of 100+ on the most recent Humane Scorecard. In his new role with the incoming Administration, he can influence the lives of millions of animals by advocating for animals on important policy matters related to puppy mills, animal fighting, humane slaughter, wildlife and marine mammal protection, and much more.
Michael Markarian is the president of the Humane Society Legislative Fund, a 501(c)(4) social welfare organization that lobbies for animal welfare legislation and works to elect humane-minded candidates to public office. In almost 15 years in the animal protection movement, Markarian has worked for the passage of countless state laws and federal statutes to protect animals, in addition to helping defeat some of the strongest anti-animal welfare politicians in the United States.

I couldn't resist- here's another image from our visit to Mammoth Hot Springs. . .
When I'm staying with my daughter's family at Yellowstone in the winter, I never get tired of going out on the porch in the early morning to check the view- the snow, the sky, and any wildlife that might be there.
Happy Friday! Can you stand to look at yet another photo from the upper terraces at Mammoth? I hope so, because this is one of my favorite photos from the trip! I just love the combination of hot and cold, snow and steam- and the life that manages to survive in that landscape.
Here's a glimpse of part of the fence on the board walk at the Upper Terraces of Mammoth Hot Springs at Yellowstone National Park. I was fascinated by the frozen steam and fog (rime ice) that clung to the railings, as well as to the trees in this magical place.
I had fun in Texture Effects adding a bit of color and texture (Flat Neon preset- majorly edited) to the background.
After I took the image back into Lightroom, I couldn't leave well-enough alone- so I played with color to emphasize how icy and cold it was.
My idea of fun on a Friday!
It was 5 below as we walked along the board walk in the Upper Terraces at Mammoth Hot Springs. Although I'd been here before, this was my first visit to the terraces in the snow. The sun shining through the icy trees and steamy mist gave the scene an ever-changing magical appearance; these photos can only hint at the exquisite beauty we witnessed.
