...nine students of Environmental Science and Public Policy (ESPP) 90c, a junior tutorial in ecology and land-use planning taught by Professor of Advanced Environmental Studies in the Field of Landscape Ecology Richard T. Forman, did all that and more during their spring break trip to Highlands County, Florida. At Archbold Biological Station, an ecological research facility in a county located about two hours south of Orlando, the students spent a week learning about the natural resources of the region, researching local culture and integrating spatial principles and ecological objectives into a comprehensive land-use plan for Highlands County...
After learning about local culture and industry during the first few days of their trip, ESPP 90c students on the fifth day began the assignment that was the trip's centerpiece.

Trips based out of several hotels in the town of Urubamba are beginning to gain favor among visitors. One spot, the Posada del Inca, offers beautiful gardens, resident llamas and views of peaks. Hikes and horseback rides are available, along with the traditional stops...
...Detroit, was not about to let Pro Air grab share. Northwest quickly cut prices and added seats to Pro Air destinations, including Baltimore, Md.; Newark, N.J.; and Indianapolis, Ind. Under this assault, Pro Air recently abandoned one of its Indianapolis routes, as well as a $69 one-way trip to Milwaukee, Wis. Before you could say "Put your tray tables in their upright and locked position," Northwest jacked up some Milwaukee seats to more than $200, according...
