Hi, I have a masonry layout on my page and I'm using it to preview a blog posts. It has a max width of 300px and everything, of course is 300px in width and it's working fine. However, I have a class in my CSS called "featured" and it has a width of 600px and I want to put it in whatever post that I want to feature.
As of the moment, I have "box" class in all of my blog entries and I want to be able to add a "featured" class via wordpress post editor so that the layout will have a 600px box instead of having only 300px. Is this possible? And how would I do this.
Thanks so much for the help.

Rebuilding Japan
Fukushima's Plan To Put Radiation Badges On Children Not Pleasing Parents
The news that the city of Fukushima, Japan, plans to give badge-like dosimeters to 34,000 children in September — to gauge how much radiation they're exposed to from the nearby nuclear power plant that was crippled by the March 11 earthquake and tsunami — isn't sitting well with some parents.
As Lucy Craft reported for Morning Edition, those parents say the government should be evacuating everyone 18 and under and any woman who is pregnant, not waiting three more months and then only issuing badges that will be checked one a month to determine exposure.
About 40 miles from the crippled Fukushima Dai-Ichi nuclear plant, Fukushima City (population 300,000) is outside the Japanese government's 12-mile "no-go zone" around that facility.
But, as Reuters reports today, the nuclear plant "is estimated to have released just 15 percent of the radiation at Chernobyl, but a complicated software modeling system created by the government to predict where the radiation would drift proved useless." So-called hot spots are showing up hundreds of miles away.

I have a question that might be a little stupid. I am changing from Netbeans to Eclipse and I noticed that Eclipse doesn't install on my C: drive, nor come up on the start menu, or come up on the remove programs window. When I run the installation it just opens up, and I have to use it from that file.
Am I using it wrong? Or is it supposed to be like that? If not, how to I properly install eclipse? thanks.

Scents and Sensuality
There isn't another way of putting this. Readers, I'm about to write an analysis about whether wearing the right fragrance can, well, you know, get the right results. The idea that smelling good (or smelling "right") can engender romantic and, ultimately, sexual activity is obviously not a new concept. But frankly readers, the market is so entirely flooded with bad, meaningless, poorly put-together fragrances, that I think you deserve to know which to spend your money on. I'm not suggesting that you can't smell for yourselves, and I'm certainly not saying that just because Valentine's Day is around the corner that your mind has turned to all things carnal, but it does seem an opportune time to remind you of the twin joys of scent and giving.
I'm not going to blah on too much about how since we were able to stand upright (and a bit before that), we have been attracted to animalistic smells like sweat and musk, but it does bear thinking about in regard to perfume. There are, after all, really only two types of memorable perfume—one engages the twin reflexes of gag and subsequent flight, the other taps into quite another response entirely (equally as primal). There are thousands of fragrances that sit in the middle of this axis—the perfectly "nice" smells you might wear to the office, on a warm spring day or to a job interview; but really, you can figure those out for yourself. I'm here to tell you about the real juice and, as it so happens, there has never been a better or more innovative time to discuss it.
First, the basics: The sexiest smells are likely to be found in the chypre or Oriental fragrance families. Why? Well, these contain the earthiest and most "animalic" of fragrance notes—from amber and musk to patchouli, labdanum, sandalwood and even a dusky rose or gardenia. "We are, after all, still animals," says Lyn Harris, the nose behind the Miller Harris fragrance brand. "We are subconsciously aroused by the smell of sweat and we like fragrances with earthy, mysterious notes." Harris says that men in particular also like the smell of sweet notes in a fragrance. "The whole idea of putting vanilla in fragrance, for example, is to identify with the concept of 'edible'—the fragrance literally smells like it can be eaten and thus its wearer too," she adds. Don't ask me to explain that concept further.
Harris's own Fleur Oriental fragrance (£65 for 100ml), with its spicy cardamom, Turkish rose and rich amber notes, would be up there in my top 10 of sexy, memorable fragrances, but so would the aldehydic floral Chanel No. 5 (£182 for a 30ml parfum bottle)—not because I like it, but because, as Harris concurs, the aldehydes (which make the fragrance fizz) are "sexy and promiscuous." Ever since Chanel's collaborator-perfumer Ernest Beaux initially presented the fragrance to Coco, no one has known whether the mix of overwhelming, chemically created aldehydes, florals and amber and sandalwood was a mistake or not. But millions of men the world over would testify to its brilliance, as no doubt would the privately owned Chanel—the fragrance remains the world's best-selling perfume.
To really understand the history of fragrance and the all-time sexy classics, an encyclopedic knowledge is required in order to cut through the billions of dollars of advertising hype and hyperbole that has surrounded the fragrance industry over the last 50 years or so. From the risqué Jovan musk commercials ("Someone you know wants it") to the infamously sensual Paco Rabanne telephone ads ("I'm going to take some and rub it on my body when I go to bed tonight. And then I'm going to remember every little thing about you…and last night") to the recent Belle d'Opium advertising from YSL, banned in the U.K. for its supposed drug references, sexual undertones and other depravities have constantly been used to sell fragrance (think Calvin Klein's Obsession or, again, YSL's Opium, starring Sophie Dahl). But just because the advertising is risqué doesn't guarantee that the fragrance will get results, or even that it smells remotely palatable. The sexiest fragrances are almost always in the crème de la crème bracket. It's tough and expensive to create a really sensual fragrance—it takes premium ingredients and a "nose" of genius to pull it off.
That said, I do want to acknowledge two less-than-premium-priced smells that hit the spot. The first is the simple but peerless Kiehl's Musk Oil, £20.50 for 7ml. Many have tried to emulate the warm, deep directness of this oil; all have failed (and not without spending vast amounts of money). The second, to my mind, qualifies as a sledgehammer fragrance (the type that hits you over the head and tells you exactly what it wants), but in a very good way. Agent Provocateur by the eponymous lingerie company is an exotic, floral chypre, containing rose, ylang ylang, gardenia, amber and musk, but really, it's sex in a bottle (£60 for 100ml). The smell is far too ubiquitous for me to really recommend it as a classic, but of its genre, it's a classic.
The man with the aforementioned "encyclopedic knowledge" that eminently qualifies him to talk about memorable fragrances is James Craven, perfume archivist at Les Senteurs (www.lessenteurs.com), London's oldest independent perfumery. Whilst I would not ordinarily cede the floor entirely to one individual, Craven's expertise in the arena of fragrance history is stunning.
Here's his take on some of the classiest, sexiest fragrances of the last 80-100 years:
Chanel No. 5, 1921: Previously mentioned, but the eternally feminine fragrance, which never dates.
Caron's Narcisse Noir, 1911: The first fantasy floral (orange blossom, jasmine and musk) and the ultimate in exotic and erotic appeal—representative of the new alluring type of woman emerging during this time. £93 for 100ml.
Guerlain's Shalimar, 1925: Bergamot, civet, vanilla, iris and tonka bean—named for the Shalimar Gardens in Lahore, this has sultry associations, pioneering the use of vanilla and making the erotic link between what you can taste and what you can smell. £60.50 for 50ml.
Isabey's Gardenia, 1925: Tangerine bark, Bulgarian rose, gardenia, musk, ambergris and sandalwood—this initiated a craze for gardenia that lasted up until the war, reinventing the trend for luxurious, lush, waxen florals (the idea is revisited by Frédéric Malle in the more recent Carnal Flower, which is shamelessly provocative; £180 for 100ml). £130 for 50ml.
Robert Piguet's Fracas, 1948: Bergamot, tuberose, lily of the valley, violet, vetiver, cedar and sandalwood—the blatant overuse of one note, tuberose, makes this a classic that has spawned thousands of imitations (but never bettered). One critic described it as smelling like "very, very hot flesh after sex." £97 for 100ml.
Creed's Love in Black, 2008: Violet, iris, clove and Tonkin musk—this explores the concept of parma violets in a modern way. It smells like a violently sexy flower, with a musky base. £142 for 75ml.
Frédéric Malle's Portrait of a Lady, 2010: Stripped-down patchouli, juxtaposed against a fruity Turkish rose and raspberry and black currant makes this daringly animalistic. £180 for 100ml.
So that's what the expert thinks (and, truly, Craven is a bona fide expert, having been in the business for 25 years). For myself, I'm a fan of the younger, newer perfumers out there who simply and somewhat radically are manipulating man-made and natural concoctions to achieve the desired result. Both Juliette Has a Gun's Not a Perfume, £79 for 100ml, and Escentric Molecules's Escentric 01, £63 for 100ml, have focused on an isolated (chemical) ingredient that is found in many, if not all, modern fragrance making—Abroxan and Iso E Super, respectively. The result is, in both cases (though they aren't entirely similar), a warm, all-encompassing, sultry, one-note scent, which has enormous staying power and is sexy on its own or as the basis for fragrance layering. Another two of my favorite fragrances are from the Comme Des Garçons stable—Series 3 Incense. CDG has an entirely unorthodox approach to fragrance making, so much so that a New York taxi driver once asked me if I was "religious" on smelling my Incense Avignon (£47 for 50ml), with its notes of myrrh, cistus oil incense, patchouli and vanilla. Kyoto, my other favorite in the series, has an even more unorthodox fragrance, using, as it does, coffee, teak wood, cedar, vetiver and cypress (£47 for 50 ml). CDG fragrances are not for the fainthearted and they certainly are not winsomely seductive. If you have a partner with a hang-up about his Catholic upbringing, for example, or are married for a second time to someone whose first marriage was "high church," I would steer clear of these.
Perfumer Alessandro Gualtieri is what one friend in the business tactfully calls "the most creative perfumer working today." He has an interesting approach to fragrance, refusing to discuss its composition because "it is inappropriate to deconstruct a work of art." Before you dismiss him as pretentious, remember that he is a rebel—he has tried to use, among other things, camel dung in his fragrances, created under his Nasomatto label. Black Afgano, £128 for 30ml at Avery (www.averylondon.co.uk), the world's first black-colored perfume, contains coffee and hashish, with a heady backdrop of the resin oud. If you like sexy and sultry (and I do), then this is for you. It is without doubt the most complete and well-rounded modern fragrance out there. If you are a floral fan, then Narcotic Venus, £105 for 30ml, is Black Afgano's antithesis. Both fragrances are created directly from extract-strength scents, so a little goes a long way.
I can't bring a piece on sexy fragrance to a close without mentioning an allbut-forgotten classic with an illustrious history. E. Coudray was one of the five original perfume brands given a royal warrant by Louis XVIII in 1822. Nohiba, a spicy Oriental scent reintroduced in 2010, was initially created for Josephine Baker in 1929 and called Black Tulip. I love its sweet, earthy, patchouli, jasmine, bergamot and sandalwood notes. Seductively glamorous, with an old-fashioned, sweet, powdery punch (£60.50 for 100ml).
So, let's say for argument's sake that on Feb. 14 (or any other day for that matter), you are wearing the "right" juice; will everything else take care of itself? Is the power of sensual fragrance really so absolute that all one need do is, ahem, sit back and wait? According to Craven, that simply won't do. "You have to do some work yourself," he says, cautioning that this is not the time to come over all British and reserved. "Less is not more in this instance; make sure you put enough on." And then? Well, says Craven, "perfume is often regarded as a treat, but clearly you need to wear it to make the treat actually happen."

It's Pro Bono Week 2015! And here at VolunteerMatch, that has us jumping for joy. Because we love pro bono and every chance we get to talk it up.
Why all the hype about pro bono volunteering? Well, when volunteer roles align with professional expertise, everyone wins.
Nonprofits gain expertise they might otherwise have been unable to afford. Volunteers gain new ways to practice and sharpen their skills and can connect with their communities in meaningful ways. Corporate volunteer programs get refreshed, fulfilled employees with new perspectives and heightened skill-sets.
In our book, Volunteer Engagement 2.0: Ideas and Insights Changing the World, we dedicate three entire chapters to pro bono and skilled volunteering. Haven't read the book yet? It's easy to order your copy today at a 25% off discount. In the meantime, we've pulled a few of our favorite quotes in honor of Pro Bono Week 2015:
Imagine if you were adding an additional 5 to 20 percent in value to your budget through high-quality, high-value pro bono? This is the potential of pro bono today. – Meg Garlinghouse & Alison Dorsey, LinkedIn for Good
Although more than 92 percent of nonprofits say that they would like to use a skilled volunteer, only 8 percent actively do. – Meg Garlinghouse & Alison Dorsey, LinkedIn for Good
Like all good initiatives, successful pro bono projects start with a clear need, articulated in a way that shows measurable goals and endpoints. – Alethea Hannemann, The Taproot Foundation
You want your pro bono consultants to treat you like a paying client, so you need to treat them as if you are paying, with all the expectations and responsibilities that go along with it. – Alethea Hannemann, The Taproot Foundation
Despite a mountain of evidence that workers love engaging their professional skills in doing good, most nonprofits say they simply aren't getting enough pro bono help. – Deirdre White & Amanda MacArthur, PYXERA Global
Remember you have something precious to offer a rich and diverse community of pro bono professionals who want to give back: a meaningful and authentic experience! If you take time to invest upfront in pro bono, you can create the kind of experience that your volunteers will be hungry for and want to repeat! – Deirdre White & Amanda MacArthur, PYXERA Global

Getting started with Events for Automation in Agile PLM 9.3
By Shane Goodwin-Oracle on Aug 14, 2009
As you have seen in some of the other Blog posts, Agile PLM 9.3 has added an Events system that enables automation of many tasks while preserving our ease of enabling upgrades. The new Events system works with our embedded Groovy scripting and new notifications templates to create a very flexible tool to extend Agile PLM functionality. We remain a PLM which can be implemented through configuration in Admin without having to build all of your processes in a toolkit, but the Events capability allows our customers to extend our configuration to better support their specific usage and to tie together related business processes. The remainder of this post will go through an example of using the new Events system for the first time. [Read More]

Do you love hiking? Are you looking for hiking boots that will offer you the best security and right convenience when you go out for your next hike? You might want to stick around if you don't want to miss what I have for your hiking needs. Hiking can be a regrettable experience if you lack the right gear especially for protection of your feet. Know what it takes for hiking boots to be classified as top-notch by reading this article.
How to choose Top Quality Hiking Boots
If you are looking for the best hiking boots for a memorable hiking experience, the following information will be helpful when you go out to shop for hiking boots;
v Durability. Durability of a hiking boot is often associated with its weight. Based on weight, hiking boots can be classified into three makes i.e. light, mid and heavy weight. Lighter boots tend to wear out faster unlike heavier ones. If you want a pair of hiking boots that will withstand your weight and rough terrain, you might want to choose a heavier pair. However, if you are hiking on a level ground, lighter boots can offer the right convenience.
v Waterproofing. Waterproofing is also another important factor you need to consider when choosing high grade hiking boots. Suede and leather materials have high waterproofing characteristics. However, Gore-Tex tends to offer more efficient and sustainable waterproofing features. If you have to cross over shallow pools of water, Gore-Tex boots will offer you the best service. In addition, Gore-Tex boots have exceptional breathability unlike leather-made ones.
v Materials. Leather tends to be the standard material for most hiking boots although suede and synthetic materials are also preferred by many hikers due their lighter weight. However, leather and synthetic blended boots combine the advantages of these two materials producing grade A boots for your hiking.
v Support. Obviously, hiking will require some form of support for your foot to prevent it from flattening. Well-designed hiking boots should have an in-built arch support to avoid overstretching of your feet during hiking.
v Experience and Desired Use. If you are a beginner, you might want to buy a pair of inexpensive boots to have a prior experience before you can decide what type of boots suit your needs. In addition, you can have different types of boots for different landscapes if you can afford. This will allow you to save a particular boot for a specific event.
Hiking Boots Assessments.
The following hiking boots review will help you get the hiking boot of your choice;
v Hi-Tec Flagstaff Waterproof. If you are a beginner, Hi-Tec Flagstaff is the boot of your choice. Designed with light weight material, these boots offer perfect hiking experience for backpackers and day hikers.
v Salomon Quest 4D GTX. Like the Flagstaff boots, Salomon is also perfect for day hike. In addition, this pair of boot is suitable for hiking on rocky and wet conditions. While this pair of boots is expensive, it is worth its value.
v Lowa Renegade GTX Midlowa Renegade gtx boots. This type of hiking boot is tailored for long distance hiking, backpacking and day hikes. It is waterproofed thus enabling you to hike in wet conditions.

GameStop "interested" in digital on-sell possibilities
US retailer chain GameStop is looking into enabling downloadable games to be sold on by consumers – bringing the used game trade to digital distribution, in other words.
GameStop CEO CEO Paul Raines told Gamespot a recent European ruling which potentially enables digital on-sell is "very interesting".
"There are some technologies out there in Europe, and we've looked at a couple that are involved. We're interested," he said.
"It's not a meaningful business yet. Right now we're not seeing that as a huge market, but I think we're on the leading edge. There are a few companies, a few startups, out there that we've talked to that are doing this."
Some retailers already rovide a form of trade-in on games purchased through digital distributors – Green Man Gaming, for example.
GameStop sources over a quarter of its revenue from the sale of used games.
Sometimes we include links to online retail stores. If you click on one and make a purchase we may receive a small commission. For more information, go here.

Jim Cramer found five stocks hated in the S&P 500 with charts that could change investors' minds. » Read More
Goldman Sachs said Tuesday it selectively upgraded shares of some brokers and asset managers, but remains cautious on stocks of regional banks, mortgage and specialty finance companies and real estate investment trusts.
Standard and Poor's has just released the results of its twice-a-year stock screen, designed to find Warren Buffett-style stocks. The new list features several tech stocks, including Apple, as well as a number of names from Europe and Asia. But some key Buffett criteria aren't taken into account by the screen.
Franklin Templeton Investments, which manages $621 billion in assets, has bought 25% of Dubai's Algebra Capital and wants to grow its business in Arab markets, it said on Tuesday.
State Street, the world's biggest institutional money manager, Tuesday posted a better-than-expected 61% jump in quarterly profit and said revenue will be stronger than initially expected this year.
Steve Ballmer on the Wall of Shame? Could Cramer do that to a longtime friend? That and more in today's Mad Mail segment.Investing can be confusing. Luckily, Cramer has mapped out some road rules for all you Home Gamers trying to navigate the jungle that is Wall Street. Think of it as "Mad Money 101" –- some fundamental advice to keep in mind as you play the market. Whether you're a first time investor or a seasoned financier, it's always good to remember the basics.
This week's stock rally doesn't mean the market's recent pullback is over, money managers say.
As the bulls and bears fight it out on Wall Street, analysts say investors would be wise to look for value beyond the fray.
Vulcan Materials, a maker of highway construction materials, on Monday said it agreed to buy Florida Rock Industries in a cash and stock deal worth around $4.6 billion.
Stocks are waffling on the opening and look set to open flat to lower. Traders are picking through headlines on mergers and earnings news, including weaker-than-expected results from Home Depot. Wal-Mart also reported profits this morning, and merger news is making headlines as Wall Street reviews the long awaited marriage of Sirius and XM Satellite radio, announced yesterday.

Like how you gave her a sorrowful or mournful look, though she felt sorry and ashamed for wiping out innocent lives
She is my favorite character too. From the moment I saw her in the x-men series I realized that no one else will come close to her awesomeness... I was sad when she 'gave up' being a Phoenix in order to be just Jean Grey. (((
Oh my, I so love Jean Grey, she look so damn fine, and so sad at the same time.
My gosh, I love how real and full you made her hair, and her sash looks like it's part of a flowing dress! It's beautiful!
WOW! es increíble!! me encanta como se desarrolla el color y las formas!...me volvió loco!

Accent and Grouping Structures in the String Quartets of Béla Bartók
Date: May 2001
Creator: Bocanegra, Cheryl D.
Description: The music of Béla Bartók is defined in part by its unique blend of rhythmic vitality and inventiveness, and his string quartets offer a glimpse into a consistency of technique evident throughout his compositional career. Bartók's rhythmic environments are primarily metrical, but many of his rhythmic configurations are placed in such a way as to potentially override established meter. It is necessary, therefore, to institute an analytical means by which the delineation and comparison of rhythmic structures both within and without the metrical context may be accomplished. An analytical method using Timepoint Accent Structures (TAS) allows for the comparison of rhythms resulting from patterns of accent produced by pitch onset, dynamic stress, articulation or any other accentual factors. Timepoint Grouping Structures (TGS) delineate the number of timepoints present in alternating groups/blocks in a texture, thereby allowing for the recognition of patterning created by these larger groups. By applying TAS and TGS analysis, relationships of rhythmic equivalency, rotation, retrograde, complementation, augmentation, diminution, subset, superset, exchange, compression and expansion are clearly confirmed in the string quartets. In addition, symmetrical structures and arithmetic progressions are discovered. In many ways, Bartók's rhythmic organization mimics his procedures of pitch structuring.

The Aesthetics of Minimalist Music and a Schenkerian-Oriented Analysis of the First Movement "Opening" of Philip Glass' Glassworks
Date: May 2009
Creator: Wu, Chia-Ying
Description: Philip Glass' Glassworks (1981) is a six-movement composition for two flutes, two soprano saxophones/clarinets, two tenor saxophones/bass clarinets, two French horns, violas, cellos, and the DX7 electric piano. Glassworks consists of six movements titled "Opening," "Floe," "Island," "Rubric," "Facades," and "Closing." This thesis covers the first movement "Opening." Repetition in musical minimalism confronts traditional prescriptive codes of tonal music and post-tonal music. While challenging the traditional codes, repetition in musical minimalism established new codes for listening to minimal music. This thesis explores the implications of these ideas.

Alberto Ginastera and the Guitar Chord: An Analytical Study
Date: December 2010
Creator: Gaviria, Carlos A.
Description: The guitar chord (a sonority based on the open strings of the guitar) is one of Alberto Ginastera's compositional trademarks. The use of the guitar chord expands throughout forty years, creating a common link between different compositional stages and techniques. Chapters I and II provide the historical and technical background on Ginastera's life, oeuvre and scholar research. Chapter IV explores the origins of the guitar chord and compares it to similar specific sonorities used by different composers to express extra-musical ideas. Chapter V discusses Ginastera's initial uses and modifications of the guitar chord. Chapter VI explores the use of the guitar chord as a referential sonority based on Variaciones Concertantes, Op. 23: I-II, examining vertical (subsets) and horizontal (derivation of motives) aspects. Chapter VII explores uses of trichords and hexachords derived from the guitar chord in the Sonata for Guitar Op. 47.

Algorithmic Music Analysis: a Case Study of a Prelude From David Cope's "From Darkness, Light"
Date: May 2015
Creator: Krämer, Reiner
Description: The use of algorithms in compositional practice has been in use for centuries. With the advent of computers, formalized procedures have become an important part of computer music. David Cope is an American composer that has pioneered systems that make use of artificial intelligence programming techniques. In this dissertation one of David Cope's compositions that was generated with one of his processes is examined in detail. A general timeline of algorithmic compositional practice is outlined from a historical perspective, and realized in the Common Lisp programming language as a musicological tool. David Cope's compositional output is summarized with an explanation of what types of systems he has utilized in the analyses of other composers' music, and the composition of his own music. Twentieth century analyses techniques are formalized within Common Lisp as algorithmic analyses tools. The tools are then combined with techniques developed within other computational music analyses tools, and applied toward the analysis of Cope's prelude. A traditional music theory analysis of the composition is provided, and outcomes of computational analyses augment the traditional analysis. The outcome of the computational analyses, or algorithmic analyses, is represented in statistical data, and corresponding probabilities. From the resulting data sets part of ...

An Analysis of Periodic Rhythmic Structures in the Music of Steve Reich and György Ligeti
Date: August 2002
Creator: Isgitt, David
Description: The compositions of Steve Reich and György Ligeti both contain periodic rhythmic structures. Although periods are not usually easily perceived, the listener may perceive their combinations in a hierarchy of rhythmic structures. This document is an attempt to develop an analytical method that can account for this hierarchy in periodic music. I begin with an overview of the features of Reich's and Ligeti's music that contribute to the property of periodicity. I follow with a discussion of the music and writings of Olivier Messiaen as a precedent for the periodic structures in the music of Reich and Ligeti. I continue by consulting the writings of the Israeli musicologist Simha Arom and describing the usefulness of his ideas and terminology in the development of my method. I explain the working process and terminology of the analytical method, and then I apply it to Reich's Six Pianos and Ligeti's Désordre.

An Analytical Study of Paradox and Structural Dualism in the Music of Ludwig van Beethoven
Date: May 2016
Creator: Graf, Benjamin Stewart
Description: Beethoven's rich compositional language evokes unique problems that have fueled scholarly dialogue for many years. My analyses focus on two types of paradoxes as central compositional problems in some of Beethoven's symphonic pieces and piano sonatas. My readings of Beethoven's Piano Sonata No. 27 (Op. 90), Symphony No. 4 (Op. 60), and Symphony No. 8 (Op. 93) explore the nature and significance of paradoxical unresolved six-four chords and their impact on tonal structure. I consider formal-tonal paradoxes in Beethoven's Tempest Sonata (Op. 31, No. 2), Ninth Symphony (Op. 125), and Overture die Weihe des Hauses (Op. 124). Movements that evoke formal-tonal paradoxes retain the structural framework of a paradigmatic interrupted structure, but contain unique voice-leading features that superimpose an undivided structure on top of the "residual" interrupted structure. Carl Schachter's observations about "genuine double meaning" and his arguments about the interplay between design and tonal structure in "Either/Or" establish the foundation for my analytical approach to paradox. Timothy Jackson's reading of Brahms' "Immer leiser word meine Schlummer" (Op. 105, No. 2) and Stephen Slottow's "Von einem Kunstler: Shapes in the Clouds" both clarify the methodology employed here. My interpretation of paradox involves more than just a slight contradiction between two ...

Date: December 1994
Creator: Spicer, Mark Joseph
Description: The late chromatic music of Chopin is often difficult to analyze, particularly with a system of Roman numerals. The study examines Schoenberg's Grundgestalt concept as a strategy for explaining Chopin's chromatic musical style. Two short Chopin works, Nocturne in E-flat major. Op. 9, No. 2, and Etude in E major, Op. 10, No. 3, serve as models in which the analytic method is formulated. Root analysis, in the manner of eighteenth-century theorist Simon Sechter, is utilized to facilitate harmonic analysis of chromatic passages. Based upon the analytic method developed, the study analyzes the last three polonaises of Chopin: Polonaise in F-sharp minor, Op. 44, Polonaise in A-flat major, Op. 53, and Polonaise-Fantasie in A-flat major, Op. 61. The Grundgestalt-based analysis shows harmonic, melodic and rhythmic connections in order to view Chopin's chromaticism and formal structure from a new perspective. With this approach, the chromaticism is viewed as essential to the larger form.

Arvo Pärt and Three Types of His Tintinnabuli Technique
Date: May 2013
Creator: Kongwattananon, Oranit
Description: Arvo Pärt, an Estonian composer, was born in 1935. Most of the works at the beginning of his career were for piano in the neo-classical style. After that, he turned his interest to serial music and continued creating works with serial techniques throughout the 1960s. After his "self-imposed silence" period (during the years 1968-1976), Pärt emerged with a new musical style, which he called tintinnabuli. Although, this technique was influenced by music from the medieval period, the texture and function of its musical style cannot be described easily in terms of any single musical technique of the past. This study explores the evolution of Arvo Pärt's tintinnabuli technique in its first decade 1976-1985, which is divided into three different types. It provides musical examples from the scores of selected works, Für Alina, Cantus in Memory of Benjamin Britten, Cantate Domino canticum novum, Missa Sillabica, Stabat Mater and Es sang vor langen Jahren, and their analyses with supporting interpretative sketches. The goal of this thesis is to provide the reader a basis for understanding and recognizing the different types of Pärt's tintinnabuli technique.

Bach's Mass in B minor: An Analytical Study of Parody Movements and their Function in the Large-Scale Architectural Design of the Mass
Date: December 2005
Creator: Pérez Torres, René
Description: Most studies of the Mass in B Minor deal with the history of the work, its reception history, primary sources, performance practice issues, rhetoric, and even theological and numerical symbolism. However, little research focuses on an in-depth analysis of the music itself. Of the few analytical studies undertaken, to date only a limited number attempt to explain Bach's use of parody technique or unity in the whole composition. This thesis focuses on understanding three primary concerns in regards to the Mass in B minor: to comprehend how preexistent material was adapted to the context of the Mass, how this material functions in the network of the entire composition, and how unity is achieved by means of large-scale voice leading. The results of this study not only provide new information about this monument of Western music, but also provide insight to the deep sense of large-scale structure in Bach's work.

Beethoven's Opus 18 String Quartets: Selected First Movements in Consideration of the Formal Theories of Heinrich Koch as Expressed in Versuch Einer Anleitung Zur Composition
Date: December 2006
Creator: Tompkins, Robert
Description: Heinrich Koch completed his treatise in 1793, a pioneering work regarding the musical phrase as well as a sonata form description (lacking that term). Composition of Opus 18 began in 1798, a momentous project for several reasons in Beethoven's early career. Here, the theories expressed in Koch's Versuch are taken as an analytic springboard into a thorough analysis of the first movement of the quartet published no. 3, which was the first composed; additionally, nos. 1 and 6 are explored to a lesser degree. This study in phrase-analysis demonstrates significance in the fundamental ideas of Koch as applied to a masterwork of the turn of the 19th century.

Permanent signs in Tomahawk Rd, near Smaills Beach in
Dunedin, that warn against collecting shellfish should be
removed this year, as work to clean up Dunedin's sewage nears
The signs were expected to be taken down by September, when
the second stage of the Tahuna outfall and secondary
treatment plant was due to be completed.
But construction delays and technical issues mean the plant's
complex biological filter, which clarifies the sewage stream
so the ultraviolet disinfection system can have more effect,
was commissioned only this week.
Dunedin City Council water and waste services manager Dr
Laura McElhone said the ultraviolet treatment system itself
was commissioned late last year and test results showed it
was disinfecting more than 99% of the sewage stream.
She said the council wanted to be totally confident the
biological filter was working as it should before warning
signs were removed from beaches. An exact date for that to
happen was not available yesterday.
Since the $37 million, 1.1km Tahuna outfall pipe was
commissioned in January 2009, regular tests of water from
between Second Beach, near the St Clair pool, and Smaills
Beach have shown the water is safe for swimming.
Dr McElhone warned, however, that while beaches should no
longer be contaminated by sewage, there might still be issues
with pollution from other sources after the treatment plant
was fully operational.
A perfect example came yesterday as swimmers and surfers were
warned to avoid the waters around Lawyers Head until further
notice, after testing revealed high bacteria levels that were
probably due to natural environmental conditions, such as hot
weather and a high number of sea birds in the area. There was
no indication the contamination was linked to the treatment
plant, she said.
The council has previously warned there could be
contamination from farming activities and run-off into the
ocean, especially during heavy rains, once the signs are

This study's primary purpose was to examine the factor structure of the 20-item Seeking of Noetic Goals (SONG) test via exploratory and confirmatory factor-analytic procedures. An additional objective was to report on the measure's incremental validity in comparison to the Search scale of the Meaning in Life Questionnaire (MLQ), an alternative measure of search for meaning. This study utilized data from three samples of American undergraduates (N = 908) from a medium-sized southern university. Factor analysis supported a two-factor model of the SONG, with patterns of correlation further suggesting the measure assesses distinct constructs. Multi-group confirmatory factor analysis indicated similar scale structure and item answering in terms of gender. Overall, the first factor yielded reliable scores that correlated significantly and in the expected direction with measures of well-being and psychological distress. The second factor did not yield reliable scores nor did it correlate significantly with many of the other measures administered. However, both factors were shown to significantly predict scores from measures of depression and general psychological distress after controlling for MLQ Search scale scores. We consider the data with respect to SONG scoring and interpretation, and discuss implications of these data for future research.

Obama vows U.S. action on North Korea
Nuclear test defied 2006 international sanctions
Kim Jae-hwan, Getty Images
Facing the first direct challenge to his new administration by an emerging nuclear-weapons state, President Barack Obama declared Monday that the United States and its allies would "stand up" to North Korea, hours after that country defied international sanctions and conducted what strongly appeared to be its second nuclear test.
Obama reacted to the underground blast as White House officials scrambled to coordinate an international response to a North Korean nuclear capability that none of his predecessors had proved able to reverse.
The United Nations swiftly condemned North Korea for its test, and South Korea announced today that it will join a U.S.-led initiative to intercept ships suspected of spreading weapons of mass destruction.
The U.N. Security Council said the test was a "clear violation" of a 2006 resolution banning North Korea from conducting nuclear development, and that it would start work immediately on a new resolution that could result in even stronger measures.
Russian officials said the nuclear bomb that the North detonated underground Monday was comparable to those that obliterated Hiroshima and Nagasaki, raising fears that the communist country could spread such technology abroad.
In a further sign of the North's mounting standoff with the world, a report said the country was likely preparing to fire short-range missiles today off its western coast.
Obama told South Korean President Lee Myung-bak that the United States will protect South Korea from any possible North Korean aggression and called for a "strong resolution" by the U.N., Lee's spokesman Lee Dong-kwan said after the two leaders spoke by telephone today.
South Korea, which previously stayed out of the U.S.-led Proliferation Security Initiative in order to pursue reconciliation efforts with North Korea, set aside its reservations and announced it would join the pact immediately. The program involves stopping and searching ships suspected of carrying nuclear, chemical and biological weapons, materials to make them, or missiles to deliver them.
North Korea previously has warned the South that its joining the program would be considered an act of war.
Acutely aware that their response to the explosion in the mountains of Kilju, not far from the Chinese border, would be seen as an early test of a new administration, Obama and his aides said they were determined to organize a significantly stronger response than the Bush administration had managed after the North Korea's first nuclear test, in October 2006.
Speaking in the Rose Garden after returning to the White House from Camp David and meeting his top aides in the Oval Office, Obama vowed to "take action" in response to what he called "a blatant violation of international law" and the North Korea's declaration that it was repudiating past commitments to dismantle its nuclear program.
But as they had meetings every few hours — including a lengthy session in the Situation Room on Monday evening — some of Obama's aides acknowledged that the administration's options were limited.
Much depends, they said, on the new president's ability to convince Russia and China to go significantly beyond the strong condemnations that they issued Monday against North Korea, their former ally as a vestige of Cold War Communism.
"I think we were all impressed with the fact that the Russians and the Chinese denounced this so strongly," Rahm Emanuel, Obama's chief of staff, said in a telephone call.
Yet turning that into effective action will prove a challenge.

Riding Down from Bangor
Riding Down from Bangor is an essay published in 1946 by the English author George Orwell. In it, he muses on 19th-century American children's literature and the type of society it portrayed.[1]
The article was prompted by the appearance of a new edition of Helen's Babies by the American author John Habberton. The novel first published in 1876 was subtitled: "Helen's Babies with some account of their ways...innocent, crafty, angelic, impish, witching and repulsive by THEIR LATEST VICTIM." and was set in New York.[1]
The article appeared in Tribune on 22 November 1946.
The appearance of Helen's Babies prompts Orwell's thoughts about the impression of the world made by books read in childhood. His impressions of America came down to the barefoot boy in the schoolroom aspiring to become president, and the tall man leaning against a wooden paling making occasional observations. These ideas were derived from books like Tom Sawyer, Rebecca of Sunnybrook Farm, What Katy Did, and Little Women. He then thinks of the song "Riding down from Bangor" based on a railway journey from Bangor, Maine.[1]
Orwell identifies these works as having a "sweet innocence" and "faint vulgarity of language". Although he acknowledges the crude and anarchic element in many American works, he notes that novels set on the East Coast describe a very sedate and prim society governed by etiquette. The characters may seem ridiculous, but they have an admirable integrity and unthinking piety. Orwell regrets that more recent American material such as Superman and other comic books is no longer suitable for children.
Seeing nineteenth century America as a "rich empty country" with few social problems and room for everyone who worked hard, Orwell concludes that "the civilization of nineteenth century America was capitalist civilization at its best."[1]
Songs of Bangor[edit]
"Riding Down from Bangor" was a poem written by Louis Shreve Osborne in 1871 while attending Harvard.[2] At some point, Osborne's poem was set to music. It was recorded as a traditional song in 1934 by Frank Crumit and in 1950 by the husband and wife duo Marais & Miranda.[3][4]
The song should not be confused with the folk style song "Day Trip to Bangor", a 1980 hit by Fiddler's Dram about "the day we went to Bangor" in Wales.[5]

By Trish Muntean, Fort Wainwright PAOMay 19, 2011
FORT WAINWRIGHT, Alaska - As a way to show support for Soldiers deployed from Fort Wainwright, Army Family Team Building is sponsoring "Tour De Desert", a program that allows community members to work towards being physically fit, reduce stress and socialize as well.
The Tour De Desert is a cycling challenge that began May 1 and will end April 30, 2012. It is very similar to "Walk to Iraq and Back," the challenge from the previous deployment.
Riders can do their mileage outdoors on a road or mountain bike, or indoors on a stationary bike. They can ride as individuals or as part of a team. The goal is to bike the distance from Fort Wainwright to Kabul, Afghanistan, and then to Baghdad, Iraq, with a total one-way distance of 5,503 miles. The round trip is a total of 11,006 miles.
For those who don't want to ride, mileage can be accumulated in other ways. Participants earn one mile for every 30 minutes of sustained physical activity other than cycling. That can be aerobics, kick boxing, strength exercise, elliptical training, weight lifting, walking, running or any other organized sports activity.
To add even more mile points to the journey, attend a class or event at ACS (25 miles), utilize a Family and Morale, Welfare and Recreation facility (10 mileage points) or attend a Soldier-related function (Family Resource Group meetings or socials) for five mileage rewards.
Registration is required to get credit for participating and can be done at ACS. Each participant will receive a log book at the time of registration.
Jessica, a Family Advocacy educator and the spouse of 1st Lt. Conor McKeown, 2nd Battalion, 8th Field Artillery Regiment, 1st Stryker Brigade Combat Team, 25th Infantry Division, is particpating in the program and accumulating her miles through elliptical and aerobic workouts.
"I really like the whole premise behind Tour De Desert, of let's travel the distance to where our loved ones are and come back," she said. "I think of it in a symbolic way as well. As in, I'm making this trip, this effort with him. This is just another way I can do that."
Natalie Rhodes, the functional administrator at FMWR, has accumulated over 500 miles since May 1.
"I heard about the program through MWR channels and I thought 'wow, that sounds a lot like the Walk to Iraq and Back', which was a lot of fun," she said. "I am just participating to show my support for those troops who have deployed".
"I think that it is great because it is a self-directed program and it is how much you can put into it. I think it is a wonderful motivator for folks in our community just to get out there and ride, be active, stay healthy over the next year and maybe even start something that will last the rest of their lives."
"I feel a tremendous indebtedness to the Soldiers and family members and for me, any way that I can give back is a positive thing. I appreciate what you do, I understand the sacrifices that you make and I'm here for you," Rhodes said. "People see you ride your bike, if you can talk to other people about it, get them excited about it."
"I would definitely encourage other people to get involved with the program" McKeown said. "I think it another way to allow us to come together as a community."
For more information on the program contact Charles Lyons at 353-2382.


text: Catchafire in Companies, Nonprofits, Tips & Tools | June 13, 2013 What Nonprofits Can Learn From Corporations At a TedxChange Talk She detailed the following three lessons: 1. Use real-time data and immediately feed that information back into the organization to take action, rather than waiting until the end of the project to assess what worked and what didn't. 2. Tap into local entrepreneurial talent to reach underserved communities and better understand what motivates them. 3. Do incredible marketing that makes them not only understand they need a service or product but want it as well. This list is a great start but there are more successful corporate strategies that nonprofits can apply to their organizations. At Catchafire, we strive to bridge the talent gap between corporations and nonprofits and social enterprises by matching professionals—primarily from the for-profit world—with organizations that need their pro bono help. As the number of B-corporations continues to grow, the lines between how corporations and nonprofits function is blurring. Here are four key areas where we believe nonprofits can learn from corporations: Invest in a Long-Term Strategy and Vision Nonprofits are often unfairly evaluated on their overhead costs, which don't necessarily correlate with performance. A long-term strategy often requires substantial upfront costs with minimal returns in the short-term. When a venture capitalist invests in a tech startup, there is an assumption that investment may take years before or if any returns are seen or anything is even produced. Why shouldn't nonprofits have the same leeway? If nonprofits are held to limiting evaluation standards, they remain focused on the short-term costs without being able to create impact-driven strategies and scalable, innovative services. Investing in marketing and communications to articulate clearly the value of the organization is crucial to reaching not only those who are being served by the organization but also those who have the ability to move the organization forward. Invest in Talent: Strategies for Recruiting & Retaining Top Talent Talent is one of the best investments any organization can make. They are a reflection of the organization and the mission. They are the heart and backbone, especially in a nonprofit where smaller budgets mean fewer employees. Nonprofits should be permitted to spend more money to attract the best talent, especially at the higher level. Advisors and board members are an extension of the team. Make the most of their networks and expertise to benefit the organization. The use of local entrepreneurial talent is a great way to build relationships in the community and also minimize costs Keep capable talent happy by giving them responsibility to perform and room to fail. High-performing employees who are invested in the organization will show you they are the best. Employees who are capable of failing are willing to take risks, try new approaches and learn quickly from those mistakes without trying to cover them up. Use a Lean Startup Method What many startups are doing so well right now is using the abundance of readily available data to analyze their organizations every step of the way. Is this working? If not, what is? Based on that data, companies pivot, if necessary, in the directions that are working, sometimes changing the entire focus of the organization. Adaptability is key to any successful organization regardless of how they're incorporated. Tap into Alternate Funding Sources The first investment into any company is a step into the unknown. There is no certainty about what will succeed and what will fail. However corporations are finding ways from employee stock options and venture capitalist funding to crowdfunding platforms and even alliances with nonprofits to attract additional funding. Nonprofits can explore new and possibly more sustainable options as well and move beyond the traditional sources of limited grants and checks from big donors.
