Pantagruel's Seventh Chapter: The Title As Suspect Codpiece, Brett B. Bodemer
Pantagruel's Seventh Chapter: The Title As Suspect Codpiece, Brett B. Bodemer
Library Scholarship
This study explores historical and linguistic aspects of Rabelais’ invented catalog for the Library of the Abbey of St. Victor. Contrasting the fictional catalog with an actual catalog of St. Victor’s, it examines why this Abbey was such an apt target, and shows ways in which Rabelais’ catalog explodes concerted efforts by influential scholastics associated with St. Victor’s to corral knowledge into classified schemes. It further offers a linguistic analysis of Rabelais’ mocking of the convention of titling, whose importance had surged with the arrival of mechanized printing. All of these considerations are viewed in the light of the chapter’s …
Creating A Culture Of "Engagement" With Academic Advising: Challenges And Opportunities For Today's Higher Education Institutions, Douglas J. Swanson
Creating A Culture Of "Engagement" With Academic Advising: Challenges And Opportunities For Today's Higher Education Institutions, Douglas J. Swanson
Journalism
Effective academic advising is recognized as key to college student success and academic retention (Pascarella & Terenzini, 1991; Mastrodicasa, 2001). There are at least seven different structural models for academic advising; each depends to a greater or lesser degree on a level of engagement by faculty in the process (Kramer, 2003). Despite devoting large amounts of resources toward improving academic advising, many institutions find a less than adequate level of engagement is achieved. Based on a review of recent studies, including data from a national study of faculty recently completed, the author identifies six key threats to engagement. These include: …
Tragic Accidents Or Mysterious Murders?: A College Town Struggles To Frame Responsibility For River Drowning Deaths, Douglas J. Swanson
Tragic Accidents Or Mysterious Murders?: A College Town Struggles To Frame Responsibility For River Drowning Deaths, Douglas J. Swanson
Journalism
This paper focuses on an ongoing debate in La Crosse, Wisconsin, over recent river drowning incidents involving college-aged men. While some in the community contend the deaths were tragic but unrelated, other citizens argue that the collective set of circumstances points to a series of mysterious murders – perhaps committed by a “River Killer” that local authorities are unable or unwilling to bring to justice. An examination of local newspaper narratives and claims from a televised town meeting shows the narratives resulted in establishment of two contrasting frames. Each offers a different explanation and has a different perspective of responsibility …
Caribbean Agriculture-Tourism Linkages In A Neoliberal World: Problems And Prospects For St. Lucia, Benjamin F. Timms
Caribbean Agriculture-Tourism Linkages In A Neoliberal World: Problems And Prospects For St. Lucia, Benjamin F. Timms
Social Sciences
The production of agricultural products for export while relying on imported food has long dominated the agricultural sector in the Caribbean, a legacy of the plantation economy. One strategy that can have a positive impact on reducing this dependency is the use of locally grown agricultural products by the hotel sector. However, the formation of linkages has for the most part not materialised due to the tremendous disadvantages domestic agriculture faces in today’s neoliberal world. This article investigates the hurdles that must be overcome if domestic agriculture is to tap into the tourist market. The study of linkages between agriculture …
Naked Slotting Fees For Vertical Control Of Multi-Product Retail Markets, Robert Innes, Stephen F. Hamilton
Naked Slotting Fees For Vertical Control Of Multi-Product Retail Markets, Robert Innes, Stephen F. Hamilton
Economics
Slotting fees are fixed charges paid by food manufacturers to retailers for access to the retail market. This note considers this practice in the context of multi-product markets with imperfectly competitive retailers, a monopoly supplier of one good, and competitive suppliers of other goods. We show how the monopolist and the retailers can use "naked" slotting fees–charges imposed on the suppliers of other goods–to obtain vertically integrated monopoly profits.

The Forward Premium In A Model With Heterogeneous Prior Beliefs, Eric O'N. Fisher
The Forward Premium In A Model With Heterogeneous Prior Beliefs, Eric O'N. Fisher
Economics
This paper explores a model of bond prices where agents have diverse prior beliefs about domestic and foreign inflation. In the long run, the foreign exchange forward premium reflects expected differences in inflation, but in the short run, it depends upon the diversity of prior beliefs. If some people have diffuse priors about a country's inflation process, then its currency commands a forward premium that is eventually dissipated. Using data on the dollar–mark premium from the 1980s, it shows that this kind of diversity really matters. Thus models with a single representative agent give an inadequate description of the data.

Analysis Of The Regulatory Effects Of California Specialty Crops: An Examination Of Various Issues Impacting Selected Forest Products, Tree Fruit, Nut, And Vegetable Crop Industries, Sean P. Hurley, Richard Thompson, Christopher Dicus, Lori Berger, Jay E. Noel
Agribusiness
In a research report for the California Institute for the Study of Specialty Crops, Hurley provided a broad overview of the web of regulatory bodies affecting California agricultural producers. He found that California specialty crop producers must comply with multiple regulations from multiple local, state, and federal agencies. Locally, producers must comply with county land use regulations developed by the county, as well as, regulations established by the County Agricultural Commissioner. At the state level, producers must follow the regulations established by California Environmental Protection Agency (CALEPA), the Department of Pesticide Regulation (DPR), and the California Department of Food and …

Recruiting Gen X And Millennial Employees To Grow Your Business, Malcolm Keif, Lorraine Donegan
Graphic Communication
For graphic communication companies, recruiting talented personnel will continue to be a key to success in upcoming years. One characteristic common among great businesses— regardless of industry—is a strong culture and a capable workforce. With so much attention given to JDF and the digital smart factory, one might conclude that a strong workforce can be substituted with technology. That couldn’t be further from the truth. Businesses that position themselves for growth are focusing on building a dynamic business culture for understanding and recruiting today’s employees.

Impact Of Increased Minimum Wage On Southern San Joaquin Valley Navel Orange Producers, Kallie Donnelly, Jay E. Noel
Impact Of Increased Minimum Wage On Southern San Joaquin Valley Navel Orange Producers, Kallie Donnelly, Jay E. Noel
Agribusiness
The California Institute for the Study of Specialty Crops (CISSC) developed a representative farm simulation model for navel producers in the Southern San Joaquin Valley. The farm simulation model simulates a producer’s financial statements for 2005-2014, including the income statement, statement of cash flows, and balance sheet. This model allows model prices and yields to vary over time. The variability is based on historical variation in navel orange prices and yield. This is done to capture the risk and uncertainty associated with variable prices and yields.
