The specific effects of climate change are less about where the rubber meets the road than about where the water meets the land.
A detailed analysis of rising sea levels (Tuesday) is part of our lineup for the week.
We'll also entertain a guest who examined the work of the Supreme Court... and we'll meet the people who call themselves "fermentistas" for their focus on fermented foods.
Big week, lengthening list... below.

Monday, November 10, 2014/8:00 Nurturing the Entrepreneurs
It can actually be hard to keep up with all of the economic development efforts going on around us. There are simultaneous efforts to bring in larger employers, assist existing employers, and give new small businesses a boost in their infancy. Put the Entrepreneurship Center at Rogue Community College in that last category. We get the picture on how and what the center does.

Monday, November 10, 2014/8:30 One-Stop Scholarship Shopping
The high cost of college sends students and their parents high and low in search of financial aid. There are lots of pots of money to draw from, and lots of places to look for them. A single website maintained by the Oregon Office of Student Access and Completion--OSAC--provides access to a wide number and variety of scholarships. We hear about the application process and deadlines.

Monday, November 10, 2014/9:00 To the Kitchen With the Fermentistas
You too can become a fermentista. It is not a misspelling, the term is fermentista, not "feminista". A fermentista is an artist of vegetable fermentation, according to Kirsten Shockey and Christopher Schockey. They are Applegate Valley farmers and the creators of the fermentista website... and now, the authors of the cookbook "Fermented Vegetables." They come in from the farm to talk about the recipes and preparations.

Tuesday, November 11, 2014/8:00 Rogue Valley Economy Stirs
The last time we talked to University of Oregon economist Tim Duy, the news was not so good for the Rogue Valley. Duy's analysis showed the valley lagging behind other parts of the state in growing out of the effects of recession. Now the flicker may be turning into a flame. Duy's latest report shows more substantial growth. He joins us with specifics.

Tuesday, November 11, 2014/8:30 Archaeology On The Big Screen
We don't all have it in us to dig in the dirt for signs of past life and civilizations. But we certainly can watch the people who do. And there's ample opportunity to watch, as Ashland's ScienceWorks Hands-On Museum presents a series of archaeology films. Archaeologists Rick Pettigrew and Chelsea Rose visit the studio.

Tuesday, November 11, 2014/9:00 HOW Rising Sea Levels Affect The Coast
One of the features of global warming will be a rise in sea levels. So coastal areas will notice some of the most severe effects if the climate continues to change. Which causes us to think a bit differently about the big ocean just west of us. Geologist Dr. Jonathan Allan has been thinking about it for a long time. He'll present a lecture on shoreline erosion and flood hazards this week in Coos Bay. He joins us in advance for a taste of the material.

Wednesday, November 12, 2014/8:00 Bundling Up The Homeless on Cold Nights
Colder weather requires robust survival skills for people living on the streets. And it places some burden on communities seeking to keep homeless people from freezing. Ashland is in the process of adding shelter space for the cold winter nights ahead. We visit with shelter managers about the need, and the arrangements to meet the need.

Wednesday, November 12, 2014/8:30 VENTSday
VENTSday is our weekly "opinion swarm"… we throw a pair of topics on the table, and let listeners vent--politely--on those topics. They can range from the global to the hyper-local, and all responsible opinions are welcome. We bring the topics, you bring the opinions. It's VENTSday on The Jefferson Exchange, and you participate by calling 1-800-838-3760 or 541-552-6782 or emailing JX@jeffnet.org.
Wednesday, November 12, 2014/9:00 Beyond Smart Phones: "Enchanted Objects"
Anybody who remembers rotary-dial telephones may still be amazed by how smart cell phones have become. And the phones may just be a step along a much longer pathway. Anyone for smart cups, smart pens, smart umbrellas? Don't scoff, you probably take pictures with your phone. David Rose is an instructor at the MIT Media Lab, and he envisions a future in which many objects besides phones will be labeled "smart." His book is "Enchanted Objects." David joins us to explain his vision.

Thursday, November 13, 2014/9:00 Inside The High Court: "American Justice"
The U.S. Supreme Court is only a month into its current session, but Garrett Epps wants you to take a look at the last session. Epps is a law professor and writer; you can add "Supreme Court analyst" to that list. Epps reviews the decisions of the court, justice by justice, in his book "American Justice 2014: Nine Clashing Visions on the Supreme Court." Epps joins us with lowdown on the high court.

Friday, November 14, 2014/9:00 All Eyes On ISIS
It's difficult to imagine the conditions in war-torn Iraq and Syria. Reese Erlich does not have to imagine them; he's been there. Erlich started working as a journalist decades ago, and still does free-lance work for news organizations around the world. He'll speak next week in Eugene about whether the American military is helping or hurting the effort to stop ISIS. He joins us today with a preview.
