Peter Scott, Professor of Physics: Recollections of UCSC, 1966-1994
Full text linkPeter Scott, Professor of Physics: Recollections of UCSC, 1966-1994, is the edited transcript of a single interview conducted by Randall Jarrell on June 27, 1994. Scott received his B.A. from the University of California, Berkeley, his M.A. from the University of Michigan, and his Ph.D. from the University of California, Berkeley. He then taught as an assistant professor for three years at Stanford University. Attracted to UCSC because it represented an alternative to what he characterized as the machine-like educational atmosphere of UC Berkeley, Scott arrived at UCSC in 1966.In this oral history, Scott describes his early history at UCSC, both in the physics board of studies and at Stevenson College. He relates a delightful opportunity to teach innovative seminars for sophomores at Stevenson College, among other anecdotes. He discusses the groundbreaking research undertaken by UCSC undergraduate and graduate students in physics, particularly the "Dynamical Systems Collective". Finally, he offers brief assessments of controversial issues within the University of California, such as the UC management of Lawrence Livermore and Los Alamos Laboratories, the narrative evaluation system, and tenure review. Above all, Professor Scott is a proponent of UCSC's interdisciplinary approach to education, remarking that, "You can't really write a thesis or write a story or create something that is not about something else."Scott's research interests have included experimental work on the optical and microwave spectra of impurity ions in crystals. In the late 1970s he became interested in dynamical systems, especially those exhibiting chaotic behavior, such as dripping faucets and various types of mechanical systems. Although he retired in 1994, Scott continues to teach courses for the physics board of studies on occasion. He also remains interested in nonlinear dynamical systems.Peter Scott is also well-known in the UCSC and Santa Cruz community as an environmental activist, becoming involved over the years in efforts, along with his wife Celia, to preserve open space lands (the Santa Cruz North Coast, the Pogonip, the Gray Whale Ranch) and to work to facilitate the awareness of our remarkable natural surroundings by members of our community. In recent years he has focused on transportation issues, with particular efforts toward reducing our dependence on the automobile. His other creative interests include songwriting, singing in choral groups and woodworking
Moral Good, the Beatific Vision, and God’s Kingdom Writings by Germain Grisez and Peter Ryan, S.J.. Edited by Peter J. Weigel
No full textFor close to half a century, the work of Germain Grisez has been highly influential, and his writings continue to receive considerable attention from philosophers and theologians of diverse viewpoints. His co-author for this work is the professor and noted moral theologian Fr. Peter Ryan, S.J., currently the executive director of the Secretariat of Doctrine and Canonical Affairs of the United States Conference of Catholic Bishops (USCCB). These two eminent scholars explore fundamental questions about Christian eschatology, moral theory, the purpose of human life, and the promise of human fulfilment. The authors examine Christian teaching on the final destiny of persons, investigating the meaning of God's kingdom, the hope of the beatific vision, and the centrality of moral goodness and divine grace in one's final end. This work is an ideal source for students, scholars, ministers and lay persons interested in basic questions of Christian theology, the philosophy of religion, ethical theory, and Catholic doctrin
'Peter' premiere
No full text'Peter' (digital film, 30 mins., 2014), directed by Jane Topping, premiered at the 12th International Festival Signes de Nuit in Paris in September 2014. The film was entered in the 'International competition (experimental) documentary' section of this film festival. The film re-frames what is considered a classic of dystopian cinema (Blade Runner, 1982, dir. Ridley Scott) with the intention of positioning the artist within the text and so implying that such radical gestures are not only warranted and necessary, but also implicit in the contemporary viewer’s experience of watching film. Peter manipulates found footage and narrative voice to reveal difficulties of viewer identification when watching Blade Runner. Peter makes use of wholesale appropriation of ‘facts’, both visual and textual, personal and public, in order to create a new reality around the film. The use of personal biography and the trope of the unreliable narrator are key elements in the discussion of the illusive nature of truth at the core of Peter

Minimal cubings
Full text linkWe combine ideas of Scott and Swarup on good position for almost invariant subsets of a group with ideas of Sageev on constructing cubings from such sets. We construct cubings which are more canonical than in Sageev's original construction. We also show that almost invariant sets can be chosen to be in very good position
Citizen participation in news
Full text linkThe process of producing news has changed significantly due to the advent of the Web, which has enabled the increasing involvement of citizens in news production. This trend has been given many names, including participatory journalism, produsage, and crowd-sourced journalism, but these terms are ambiguous and have been applied inconsistently, making comparison of news systems difficult. In particular, it is problematic to distinguish the levels of citizen involvement, and therefore the extent to which news production has genuinely been opened up. In this paper we perform an analysis of 32 online news systems, comparing them in terms of how much power they give to citizens at each stage of the news production process. Our analysis reveals a diverse landscape of news systems and shows that they defy simplistic categorisation, but it also provides the means to compare different approaches in a systematic and meaningful way. We combine this with four case studies of individual stories to explore the ways that news stories can move and evolve across this landscape. Our conclusions are that online news systems are complex and interdependent, and that most do not involve citizens to the extent that the terms used to describe them imply
