    <strong>Last Week:</strong> &nbsp;While so much has caught our attention this week, including woman&rsquo;s reproductive rights, campus security, right to privacy, race relations, a small story about the extinction of the Sestos Skipper and Rockland Grass Skipper butterflies caught my attention - hitting a deeper more profound chord.&nbsp; While the two butterflies in themselves may be appreciated by some for their aesthetic beauty, they were part of a web of interacting organisms with potential impacts to our supply of food and medicine. There is a past, present and future value for each living organism - but extinction is permanent - erasing any possibility for the future and more than likely affecting us in as yet unknown ways. As a barometer of the health of our environment and its longer term prospects, being able to identify local species is important to understanding our surroundings.&nbsp; When a species has permanently lost the ability to survive - that is a story that deserves our attention.&nbsp; We need to learn why and gain a broader understanding of the impact of such events.

  4. A smarter way to deal with China

    China will almost certainly pass the United States in the total size of its economy within a decade or so. But if one looks also at military and "soft power" resources, the U.S. is likely to remain more powerful than China for at least the next few decades. Does it matter?
