North Dakota's Geologic Legacy ~ Student-Owned Grocery Store ~ Teen Girls and Social Media

  Thursday, February 25 –The publishing arm of the North Dakota Institute for Regional Studies isn’t exactly new, but as of January 1, it has a new name: The NDSU Press. They’ll soon be celebrating with its inaugural NDSU Press Party. To acknowledge the occasion we visit with the first author published under the new imprint, John Bluemle. John was state geologist and director of the ND Geological Survey from 1990 to 2004, and his new book is called North Dakota’s Geologic Legacy: Our Land and How it Formed. ~~~ Small-town grocery stores face big competition from nearby cities. Harvest Public Media looks into one bucking the trend. ~~~ In a story from Morning Edition, NPR’s David Greene speaks with author Nancy Jo Sales, who spent years studying teens to write the book, American Girls: Social Media and the Secret Lives of Teenagers. ~~~ Chef Tim Rosendahl is here with this week’s food topic: peanut butter. ~~~ Doug and Ashley have our What’s Happening calendar of events.
