Green Building In The Pacific Northwest: Next Steps For An Emerging Trend, Susan G. Mason, Anthony Marker, Rebecca Mirsky
Green Building In The Pacific Northwest: Next Steps For An Emerging Trend, Susan G. Mason, Anthony Marker, Rebecca Mirsky
Susan G. Mason
This report provides an understanding of why green building is important to our communities, a brief look at the emergence of green building standards, research evidence on the perceived pros and cons of green building, and original research on green building in the Pacific Northwest. The original research is an analysis of perspectives voiced in conversations, focus groups and surveys with both members of the construction industry and local government on the barriers and incentives to green building in their local communities. As nearly 500 construction industry members and just over 300 local governments participated in the research, this report …

Grappling With Climate Change: Impacts To Heritage Resources, Lauren Meyer, Pei-Lin Yu, Randall Skeirik, Virginia Salazar-Halfmoon
Grappling With Climate Change: Impacts To Heritage Resources, Lauren Meyer, Pei-Lin Yu, Randall Skeirik, Virginia Salazar-Halfmoon
Pei-Lin Yu
17th century adobe walls collapsing at Tumacácori; historic inscriptions rapidly eroding at El Morro; ancestral pueblo field houses at Bandelier impacted by significant soil erosion. Is this deterioration and loss the result of a lack of proper maintenance, a misunderstanding of the needs of fragile site materials, the cumulative effects of 'normal' deterioration, or the result of random and unpredictable natural events and material failures? Could any (or all) of it be related to climate change? As a cultural resource manager, climate change is a difficult matter to grapple with. Can one comfortably say that a wall collapse is the …
Environmental Crisis And Religious Rhetoric In Is God Green?, Jen Schneider
Environmental Crisis And Religious Rhetoric In Is God Green?, Jen Schneider
Jen Schneider
In the 2006 PBS documentary Is God Green?, Bill Moyers presents the emergence of two key contemporary trends in American political and religious life. The first is the growing popularity of an environmental movement within Christian evangelicalism called 'Creation Care'. Motivated by biblical passages that suggest humans have been 'commissioned' as stewards to care for the earth, or 'God's Body', Creation Care emerged in the late 1970s, gained momentum in the 1990s, and now 'constitutes the "fastest-growing form of Christian ministry"', according to the evangelical publication Christianity Today (Frame 1996:84, see also Psaros 2006:20-32). Is God Green? highlights what …
An Alternative To Recording Hash Marks, Tracy Bicknell-Holmes
An Alternative To Recording Hash Marks, Tracy Bicknell-Holmes
Tracy Bicknell-Holmes
Picture this: you just completed a 30-minute transaction where you helped a patron identify several relevant resources to answer their question, coached them in how to use the resources and helped them with several catalog searches. Basking in the glow of the patron’s enthusiastic praises, you record the transaction with a single hash mark on your statistics page. Were you tempted to put down more than on has mark to better represent the transaction? Are you looking for a better way to document the breadth and depth of the services you offer? This session will go over a few ideas …

Scholarworks: Showcasing Faculty Research While Promoting Open Access, Michelle Armstrong
Michelle Armstrong
Recently, Boise State’s academic leadership began exploring betters ways to disseminate the research produced by the university. As a part of this process, the idea of creating a research distribution strategy began to be outlined. One of the first components of this strategy was the development of ScholarWorks, an open access institutional repository. ScholarWorks consists of five key services: *Identifying and making available via the ScholarWorks web site documents and files produced by the faculty, research groups, and students of Boise State University. *Creation of Selected Works pages which highlight the scholarly accomplishments of each individual faculty member. *Distribution of …

Corralling Digital Collections From Across The Region: A Survey Of Digital Collections In The Pacific Northwest, Amy E. Vecchione, Rick Stoddart, Erin Passehl
Amy E. Vecchione
Digital collections exist at all types of institutions throughout the Northwest. Wrangling these online resources all into one place is quite a challenge. This poster will raise awareness of and highlight digital collections both big and small throughout the region. The range of collections spans from historical documents detailing local histories to the digital repositories of official government business to photographs and objects documenting Northwest culture (music, art, environment). Librarians and teachers will learn what collections are freely available to the public, relavant to the reference desk and classroom, and meaninful to patrons and students. Libraries, archives, and special collections …
Acceptability Of Variation In Modern Hebrew Spirantization, Michal Temkin Martinez
Acceptability Of Variation In Modern Hebrew Spirantization, Michal Temkin Martinez
Michal Temkin Martinez
Modern Hebrew spirantization is an allophonic distribution where the stops [p], [b], and [k] regularly alternate with [f], [v], and [x], respectively, with the fricatives surfacing post-vocalically. There are exceptions to spirantization, with stops occurring post-vocalically and fricatives surfacing elsewhere. Additionally, variation has been attested in the regularly alternating pairs. Seventy-four native Hebrew speakers rated the acceptability of variation in regularly alternating pairs and exceptional segments. Results showed that, as hypothesized, variation was less natural than the expected form of a given word. Furthermore, variation in exceptional segments was rated less natural than variation in regularly alternating segments.

Exceptions Encoded At The Segmental Level, Michal Temkin Martinez
Exceptions Encoded At The Segmental Level, Michal Temkin Martinez
Michal Temkin Martinez
This paper discusses the need for including treatment of exceptions as segmental-level phenomena in the theory as evidenced from exceptional cases to spirantization in Modern Hebrew. A prespecification approach is used to provide an Optimality Theoretic account for words containing both regularly spirantizing and exceptional segments. Previous word-level analyses fail to account for such forms by dealing with exceptions as whole-word phenomena, allowing only words in which segments are either exceptions or regularly alternating.
Pit Cooking And Intensification Of Subsistence In The American Southwest And Pacific Northwest, Pei-Lin Yu
Pit Cooking And Intensification Of Subsistence In The American Southwest And Pacific Northwest, Pei-Lin Yu
Pei-Lin Yu
Pit cooking leaves durable, measurable remains and is relevant to the study of resource intensification. This thesis examines pit cooking as a means to explore and quantify the initial conditions for two different modes of intensification: incipient Southwestern food production and semi-sedentized foraging in the inland Pacific Northwest.
First, analytical tools for variability in pit ovens, and a model statement about the role of pit cooking in intensification, were drawn from an ethnographic frame of reference governing pit oven function, physical variation, and contexts of use. Using those tools, hypothetical statements were developed for the relationship between pit oven cooking, …

Minneapolis Zoning Code: Artist Live/Work Recommendations, Amanda G. Johnson
Amanda Johnson Ashley
In June 2005, the City of Minneapolis approved the Minneapolis Plan for Arts & Culture, led by the direction of the Minneapolis Arts Commission. It is a ten year strategic plan that “defines the role of the City of Minneapolis in supporting arts and culture, and the role of arts and culture in accomplishing the City's broader goals.” The City of Minneapolis, in the Planning Division of the Department of Community Planning and Economic Development (CPED), is undertaking a study of other cities’ practices to provide assistance to artists in different forms, through regulations and provision of assistance, services, and …
Policies For Improving Accessible Web Development Techniques And Management, Michelle Armstrong
Policies For Improving Accessible Web Development Techniques And Management, Michelle Armstrong
Michelle Armstrong
When examining web site accessibility for individuals with disabilities, it is important to address development from the premise that web sites should be aesthetically pleasing and usable – as well as accessible. By applying these criteria, developers are encouraged to work as teams, utilize comprehensive management techniques, and address the need for long-term maintenance. This approach ultimately results in a web development infrastructure that can handle both high demand, as well as change. In the case of the WIND Web Services Team this infrastructure takes the form of a “Development and Guidelines and Recommendations” document, core values conveyed to all …
