Embedding Benedictine Hallmarks into the Student Experience: It’s in the Water!
No full textWhen people ask about how students learn about the Benedictine ethos, a common answer is, “It’s in the water!” Such a statement implies that the Benedictine ethos is both pervasive throughout the student experience and that its transmission happens organically, implicitly. This presentation addresses each of these implications

Consumer Gasoline Prices in 2014: What Caused the Decline?
Get PDFThough a large body of literature analyzes commodity markets in general as well as the crude oil market, little work looks at the determinants of gasoline price shocks and which variables contributed to specific historical shocks. Using a structural vector autoregression (SVAR) model, one can determine how gasoline prices typically respond to shocks in price determinants, how much each variable, on average, contributes to the variation in gasoline, and which variables influenced gasoline prices during particular shocks. This paper proposes a simple SVAR model of the gasoline market and uses the model to determine what caused gasoline prices to decline between June 2014 and February 2015
Megaloads and Mobilization: The Rural People of Idaho Stand Against Big Oil
Get PDFFrom 2011 to 2014 fossil fuel corporations trucked tar sands processing machinery along rural Idaho highways. The machinery was bound for the world\u27s largest deposits of tar or oil sands, a heavy crude oil substance called bitumen, located in the western Canadian province of Alberta. These loads of machinery, what became known as megaloads, encountered much resistance. Throughout Idaho and the surrounding region, a network organized opposition. Neighbors, grassroots organizations, nonprofits, and the Nez Perce and other tribes all collaborated. They held information sessions, protested, waged legal battles, monitored the loads, and blockaded highways. What oil companies hoped would be a cost-effective solution for transporting their megaloads became a David versus Goliath, Coyote versus the Monster—to reference the Nez Perce creation story—struggle to protect rural and indigenous ways of life and sovereignty, and the planet
