Insight Into

The three articles in this invited paper session investigate challenges and opportunities for agricultural producers in the southeastern United States. Two of the articles focus on the increasing demand for locally produced food and offer insight into potential marketing opportunities that this growing demand may provide for beginning or young farmers. The third article centers on financing options that are available to beginning farmers and evaluates the use of Aggie Bonds as a financing source for beginning farmers.

Insight Into

Abstract We are developing a numerical wind model to simulate airflow near the ground at night over terrain typical of the Piedmont of the southeastern United States. The purpose is to improve understanding of night winds and provide more accurate prediction of smoke movement when wind speed is low and wind direction is highly variable. These conditions often prevail when fog or a combination of smoke and fog produce low visibility. The model was tested with a weather event that produced local dense fog implicated as a factor in a highway accident. The model provides insight into drainage winds and valley flows and hence promises to be useful for predicting smoke movement at night. South. J. Appl. For. 18(2):60-64.

Special Meeting

Abstract This paper summarizes the contributions from the symposium on freshwater crayfish held from January 29th thru February 1st in Savannah, Georgia. The symposium was hosted at the Spring meeting of the Southern Division of the American Fisheries Society. This symposium was the third such gathering of astacologists from the southeastern United States in the last six or so years. This symposium was attended by over 50 students, agency biologists and astacologists from across the central and southeastern United States. A total of 24 manuscript were received for consideration in this special meeting issue of Freshwater Crayfish, and of those, 19 contributions have made it into the present volume. Several of the manuscripts were postponed and so will appear in an upcoming issue of the journal. This issue has been dedicated to the memory of Dr. John E. Cooper, our mentor and astacological colleague from North Carolina who passed away earlier this year.

Insight Into

To capitalize on potential opportunities presented by growing consumer demand for locally grown foods, farmers need insight into significant motivations and behavioral characteristics of consumers in their region. This article aims to evaluate the characteristics of southeastern urban consumers who purchased food directly from producers. Novel study findings include the impact of disease incidences that occurred in respondent and related family members, a more accurate understanding of U.S. agriculture, relatively higher levels of concern about U.S. food safety, and greater physical activity levels, which are significant motivators of increased likelihood to purchase direct from producers.

Insight Into

This paper offers a new insight into GenSLA classroom research in light of recent developments in the Minimalist Program (MP). Recent research in GenSLA has shown how generative linguistics and acquisition studies can inform the language classroom, mostly focusing on what linguistic aspects of target properties should be integrated as a part of the classroom input. Based on insights from Chomsky’s ‘three factors for language design’ – which bring together the Faculty of Language, input and general principles of economy and efficient computation (the third factor effect) for language development – we put forward a theoretical rationale for how classroom research can offer a unique environment to test the learnability in L2 through the statistical enhancement of the input to which learners are exposed.
