Date: May 1986
Creator: Fern, Terry L. (Terry Lee)
Description: The lecture recital was given on April 18, 1977. The subject was Adaptation of Handel's Castrato Airs for Bass, and it included a discussion of conventions peculiar to Handelian opera seria, concerns regarding adaptation of Handel's castrato airs and a comparison of adaptation practices in eighteenth- and twentieth-century presentations of Handel's operas.

Aesthetic Justifications for Music Education: a Theoretical Examination of Their Usefulness
Date: December 1988
Creator: Paul, Stephen John
Description: Justifications for music education have been studied only by examining historical trends in statements of aesthetic versus utilitarian values, and not from the perspective of evaluating the justifications' usefulness. A number of prominent writers in the music education field, while supporting aesthetic values as important for music education, have expressed doubts about the effectiveness of aesthetic justifications when used for convincing outsiders of the importance of music in the public school curriculum. These doubts, along with a preponderance of aesthetic justifications in the recent music education literature, led to the present study, which conducted a theoretical examination of the usefulness of aesthetic justifications for music education. The study addressed three research problems, namely: (1) the attitudes of the clientele groups of the public schools in terms of their values toward music as a subject in the schools; (2) the attitudes of the groups within the music education profession in terms of their values for music in the public schools and for the profession itself; and 3) the likelihood that justifications based upon "aesthetics" as a system of values would be accepted by the groups both inside arid outside the music education profession. A philosophical-sociological perspective was chosen for the theoretical ...

Archetypal Dreams
Date: August 1987
Creator: Hanson, Dan L.
Description: In the composition Archetypal Dreams, musical imagery is created through motifs and ideas that represent the symbolic messages of the unconscious. These motifs are introduced, developed, transformed, and overlapped in contrapuntal dialogue. This unfolding of material grows in significance and complexity building to a resolution of tension. The relationship of motifs to the row is re-established and the row is reconstructed. In this manner the conscious and unconscious elements of the personality are symbolically reconciled. The four movements of the work are entitled: I. Primordial Images; II. Archaic Remnants; III. Mythological Motifs; IV. The Process of Individuation

Aspects of a Late Style in Sergei Rachmaninoff's Variations on a Theme of Corelli, Op. 42: a Lecture Recital, together with Three Recitals of Selected Works of J. Brahms, L. v. Beethoven, F. Chopin, C. Debussy, Zoltan Kodaly, M. Moussorgsky, and S. Prokofiev
Date: May 1989
Creator: Ruttle, Mark
Description: This document identifies elements of a stylistic change which occurred in several of the pieces Rachmaninoff wrote during the last years of his life. These elements reflect a progressive trend in his music, which certainly maintained in spite of the change, its characteristic sound. The Variations on a Theme of Corelli, Op. 42 illustrate these new developments in their lean, angular unison sonorities, stripped of chordal padding and virtuosic display, in their percussive, staccato and incisive ostinato rhythmic figures, astringent chromatic harmony and modern air of detachment. The Rhapsody on a Theme of Paganini, Op. 43 confirms this stylistic development in its remarkable similarity to the Corelli Variations. In the last twenty-six years of his life in exile from his homeland, making his way around the world as a concert pianist, Rachmaninoff wrote only six major works. Perhaps his increasing age, separation from homeland, and the musical revolutions surrounding him in the Western world produced this stylistic development.

Beethoven's Transcendence of the Additive Tendency in Opus 34, Opus 35, Werk ohne Opuszahl 80, and Opus 120
Date: December 1989
Creator: Kramer, Ernest J. (Ernest Joachim)
Description: The internal unity of the themes in a sonata-allegro movement and the external unity of the movements in a sonata cycle are crucial elements of Beethoven's compositional aesthetic. Numerous theorists have explored these aspects in Beethoven's sonatas, symphonies, quartets, and concertos. Similar research into the independent variation sets for piano, excluding Opus 120, has been largely neglected as the result of three misconceptions: that the variation sets, many of which were based on popular melodies of Beethoven's time, are not as worthy of study as his other works; that the type of hidden internal relationships which pervade the sonata cycle are not relevant to the variation set since all variations are, by definition, related to the theme; and that variations were composed "additively," that is, one after another, without any particular regard for their order or relationship to one another. The purpose of this study is to refute all three of these incorrect assumptions. Beethoven was concerned with the order of variations and their relationship to one another, and he was able to transcend the additive tendency in a number of ways. Some of his methods included registral connection, registral expansion, rhythmic acceleration, textural expansion, dynamics, articulation, and motivic similarities. ...

The Beginnings of Music in the Boston Public Schools: Decisions of the Boston School Committee in 1837 and 1845 in Light of Religious and Moral Concerns of the Time
Date: August 1989
Creator: Miller, David Michael, 1951-
Description: The research problems of this dissertation were: 1) A description of the perceived value of music in light of political undercurrents in Boston prior to and during the years under investigation, and 2) the profile of the constituency of the Boston School Committee and Committee on Music in 1837 and 1845. Questions addressed the effect of religious and moral concerns of the day on the decision by the School Committee in 1837 to try music in the curriculum, and the possible effect of religious politics on Lowell Mason's dismissal from the schools in 1845. In the minds of mid-nineteenth century Bostonians, religious and moral values were intrinsic to the very nature of music. Key members on the School Committee portrayed music as being spiritual yet nonsectarian in its influence. Therefore, the findings suggest that music was believed to provide common ground between opposing and diverse religious sects. Reasons given for Mason's dismissal by John Sargent, a member of the Committee on Music, showed parallels to H. W. Day's accusations in the press a year earlier that Mason had managed his position in a sectarian manner. Sargent's background supports the theory that religious politics were at work in Mason's dismissal. Although ...

British Pastoral Style and E.J. Moeran's Fantasy Quartet: A Lecture Recital, Together with Three Recitals of Selected Works of J.S. Bach, B. Britten, L. Foss, G. Handel, A. Marcello, E. Rubbra, C. Saint-Saens, and Others
Date: August 1986
Creator: Perkins, Tedrow Lewis
Description: British musical style changed dramatically after 1880 primarily due to factors which may be subsumed under the general heading of nationalism. This change from an essentially Germanic style has been termed the British musical renaissance by many writers on the subject. Within this new musical language, several distinctive substyles arose. One of these, British pastoral style, has been alluded to by Frank Howes and others, but these allusions do not contribute to an understanding of the works purportedly belonging to that style. It is the purpose of this study to define British pastoral style and examine its relation to the British musical renaissance. The method employed for defining style will be that of Jan LaRue's as described in his Guidelines for Style Analysis. What is British pastoral style? Judging from the literature, British pastoral style is a type of British music written between 1900 and 1950 which evokes pastoral images, especially those associated with the British landscape. A stylistic analysis of selected works will define British pastoral style through enumeration and discussion of the style's musical constituents. A more refined definition of British pastoral style is achieved by an in-depth analysis of E. J. Moeran's Fantasy Quartet, which represents a ...

Capriccio, By Richard Strauss and Clemens Krauss: Theoretical Discussion as Theatrical Presentation, Together with Three Recitals of Selected Works of Strauss, Wagner, Verdi, Mozart, Britten, and Prokofiev
Date: August 1986
Creator: Saunders, David Harold
Description: In Capriccio. Richard Strauss and Clemens Krauss examine the very nature of opera with the core of their thesis being the relationship of words and music. A work that is, in essence, an extended discussion poses two problems to the composer and librettist: how to sustain the argument of the thesis without losing the attention of the audience, and how to prevent a conversational opera from sounding like endless recitative. Strauss and Krauss manage to present their case without having to resort to an actual discussion for the duration of the opera. Their characters are engaging, identifiable human beings who are also allegorical figures. Their participation in the stage action sustains the argument of the thesis even when the dialogue itself addresses other subjects. The players symbolize various facets of opera, theatre, and the public with all of them, principal and secondary characters, being sharply etched. The little stage action that Capriccio does contain is carefully paced and closely coordinated with the presentation of the work's thesis. The octets, similar in dramatic function to the central finale of a Mozart opera buffa, provide the climax of the stage action and come soon after the Fugal Debate, the centerpiece of the ...

A Comparison of the Transcription Techniques of Godowsky and Liszt as Exemplified in Their Transcriptions of Three Schubert Lieder
Date: December 1987
Creator: Cloutier, David, 1948-
Description: This investigation sought to compare the transcription techniques of two pianist-composers, Godowsky and Liszt, using three Schubert lieder as examples. The lieder were "Das Wandern" from Die Schöne Müllerin, "Gute Nacht" from Winterreise, and "Liebesbotschaft" from Schwanengesang. They were compared using four criteria: tonality, counterpoint, timbral effects, and harmony. Liszt, following a practice common in the nineteenth century, was primarily concerned with bringing new music into the home of the domestic pianist. The piano transcription was the most widely used and successful medium for accomplishing this. Liszt also frequently transcribed pieces of a particular composer in order to promulgate them by featuring them in his recitals. The Schubert lieder fall into this category. Liszt did not drastically alter the original in these compositions. Indeed, in the cases of "Liebesbotschaft" and "Das Wandern," very little alteration beyond the incorporation of the melody into the piano accompaniment, occurs.Godowsky, in contrast, viewed the transcription as a vehicle for composing a new piece. He intended to improve upon the original by adding his own inspiration to it. Godowsky was particularly ingenious in adding counterpoint, often chromatic, to the original. Examples of Godowsky's use of counterpoint can be found in "Das Wandern" and "Gute Nacht." ...

English Devotional Song of the Seventeenth Century in Printed Collections from 1638 to 1693: A Study of Music and Culture
Date: May 1986
Creator: Treacy, Susan
Description: Seventeenth-century England witnessed profound historical, theological, and musical changes. A king was overthrown and executed; religion was practiced fervently and disputed hotly; and English musicians fell under the influence of the Italian stile nuovo. Many devotional songs were printed, among them those which reveal influences of this style. These English-texted sacred songs for one to three solo voices with continuo--not based upon a previously- composed hymn or psalm tune—are emphasized in this dissertation. Chapter One treats definitions, past neglect of the genre by scholars, and the problem of ambiguous terminology. Chapter Two is an examination of how religion and politics affected musical life, the hiatus from liturgical music from 1644 to 1660 causing composers to contribute to the flourishing of devotional music for home worship and recreation. Different modes of seventeenth-century devotional life are discussed in Chapter Three. Chapter Four provides documentation for use of devotional music, diaries and memoirs of the period revealing the use of several publications considered in this study. Baroque musical aesthetics applied to devotional song and its raising of the affections towards God are discussed in Chapter Five. Chapter Six traces the influence of Italian monody and sacred concerto on English devotional song. The earliest ...

Patient Comments: Rotavirus - Describe Your Experience
Please describe your experience with rotavirus.
Comment from: julie, 3-6 Female (Caregiver) Published: January 30
My daughter picked up rotavirus from her cousin when she was 3. She had severe vomiting and diarrhea and was diagnosed by her pediatrician. The virus destroyed the healthy bacteria in her intestines, and she was lactose intolerant for a full six months after the infection. We had to very gradually reintroduce milk/dairy. It took a full year for her system to be back to normal and able to digest dairy.

I am a transplant patient and on immunosuppressant drugs. I got rotavirus and just spent 3 days in the hospital getting rehydrated. No idea where I picked it up but it was the worst diarrhea I have ever had. They gave me 4 liters IV to get me rehydrated. This stuff is awful!
Comment from: SinCGirlNY, 35-44 Female (Patient) Published: December 30
I got this rotavirus from goodness knows where but it is the worst. I was feeling ok, then at 4:30 AM I couldn't stop throwing up and the runs were the worst. I had to get 2 IV bags of fluid and I'm still not great. I can keep food down but I still have the runs and my tummy is grumbling so loud. I don't wish this on anyone. I wash my hands all the time but I work with small children and I have a feeling I caught it from them. All I can say is go to the doctor and get fluids. It is a must, without those 2 IV bags I would be in the hospital for sure. I'm 44 years old and this is just a kid thing.
Comment from: samfry30, 25-34 Male (Patient) Published: November 20
I'm in Vietnam at the moment and I have rotavirus and bacterial gastroenteritis. I've had no vomiting, but I've suffered from extreme dehydration brought on by diarrhea. I had to go to the toilet every twenty minutes last night so I went to the emergency ward of an international clinic. They tested a stool sample and confirmed the diagnosis. I'm taking antibiotics for the bacterial infection and the diarrhea has been cleaned up by a product called Smecta. I'm feeling a bit better now, but I'm still incredibly run down. I'm drinking electrolytes and also taking a probiotic called Enterogermina. This all seems to be working, but I'm worried about my girlfriend contracting it given that she had an emergency cholecystectomy last week. This is a terrible virus.
Comment from: Lorraine Street, 25-34 Female (Patient) Published: April 14
Rotavirus just ran through my family. My 4-year-old daughter picked it up first while we were on our last day of vacation. She had to ride the three-hour flight back home with it, and it was the worst thing in the world. The entire night before we left, she either vomited or dry heaved at least every 15 minutes. It was uncontrollable. Then at the airport, she picked up the diarrhea along with the vomiting. It lasted two days with her. By the second day, she was taking liquids. Then I picked it up the next day. I ended up in the hospital because I felt the dehydration was going to make me pass out. All I can say is: Don't hesitate to check yourself in at the hospital. After four hours with IV fluids and anti-nausea meds, I was 90% better than when I walked into the place. My son is now fighting it. This stuff is no joke!
Comment from: RotaHater, 25-34 Male (Patient) Published: March 31
Rotavirus is extremely horrible! It has gone through our family four or five times over the last seven years. I have it now. I'm on my third day with it. For us, it hits like a ton of bricks and puts you on the bathroom floor with watery vomit and diarrhea that doesn't seem as if it will ever end accompanied by the worst sick, flu-like feeling you could imagine. It's very traumatic. If this is your first time with it, the first eight to 12 hours are the worst, gradually getting better as the hours go by. The next day or two are just cramping, soreness, and fatigue, but not so much the flu-like feeling. This time I spent about 12 miserable hours on the bathroom floor. The kids usually get hospitalized for a day or two for dehydration. This stuff is extremely contagious. The white can of Lysol says on the back that it kills rotavirus. Good luck, it will pass. Stay hydrated, and go get an IV at a hospital if needed. I'm not a doctor, so this is not professional advice, just my experience; yours may be different.
Comment from: bayly'smom, 0-2 Female (Caregiver) Published: March 25
My 18-month-old son is still recovering from rotavirus. It started with vomiting during the night. He vomited more than 15 times in the course of only five hours. Then the diarrhea began. I took him to the emergency room as per our pediatrician, and they hooked him up to an IV for dehydration. After three hours, they sent us home. Once home, he was unable to keep anything down and the diarrhea only got worse. The next morning, he woke with a high fever, and we were back to the ER. He was extremely lethargic and wanted to sleep all the time. I held him in the ER for more than seven hours before they finally admitted him to the hospital. He was hooked up to an IV again. They tested his stool, and he was diagnosed with rotavirus by the next day. He was finally able to keep liquids down, and then we slowly started him on the BRAT diet. By the fourth day in the hospital, he finally had a firm stool and was permitted to go home. This was a very traumatic experience for me as a mother to watch my small child experience. We never had quite an experience like this with our older son who is 5. It has been two weeks since this all started, and he is still on a restricted diet. He has not tolerated milk. As I have researched more about this virus, I find it important to share with others to keep milk and apple juice out of their diet. I had no idea about the "no apple juice rule," and I have been giving it to him since we have been home. This has been very frustrating trying to figure out what to feed him and let him drink without giving him a relapse of the diarrhea. I made homemade chicken soup and that has been good.

"Unless you've got POWER!"
In November 2007, a new board game called Yavalath was invented. The rules of Yavalath are simple: Players take turns adding a piece of their colour to a hexagonal board and win by making four-in-a-row of their colour – but lose by making three-in-a-row beforehand. Yavalath has proven reasonably popular as its simple rules allow interesting and surprising situations to develop due to its innovative win with four but lose with three winning condition. But Yavalath is really set apart from the many other board games invented in 2007 by one remarkable fact: Yavalath was designed by a computer programme. [more inside]

Congress killed the Radio Star
"I've said all along, we are in this together." John Simson, executive director of SoundExchange - the royalty collecting arm of the RIAA - extends an olive branch through 2008 that will cap the advance payments internet broadcasters will have to cough up at $2500 per year. This comes in the wake of the Day of Silence, (it was June 26, did anyone notice?) spearheaded by Los Angeles-based terrestrial/online radio station KCRW (home of the brilliant Morning Becomes Eclectic) and SaveNetRadio, during which some of the biggest names in online radio - include Live365, NPR and Pandora - went dark for 24 hours, airing a one-hour broadcast twice during that day on the history of flat fees in public broadcasting.

The Excelsior OHC Project
One day, a vintage motorcycle restorer gets an idea in his head to tackle a new project, restoring an old-timey "board-tracker" bike. In and of itself, that's not such a big deal; over the past century, vehicle restoration has become equal parts hobby, business, and spectator sport. The catch with this particular project, however, is that there are no existing examples of the bike he wants to rebuild, the last known extant part remaining is a corroded engine case, and there are only 5 known photographs - all of which happen to show just the right side of the bike. This is the story (so far) of Paul Brodie's Excelsior OHC. [via]

In ClaDun, characters can either be your Main or Sub in a Magic Circle.
Different classes have different growth depending on where they are in the circle, for example a Warrior has "Average" in both main and sub but other classes have some stats marked with "+" and others with "-".
Does this mean they gain stats faster/slower with that configuration, or that those stats go up/down upon level up and I need to swap them into the main role to prevent stats from going to zero? Does this make a big difference, or should I be more concerned with levels, equipment, and artifacts than individual stat gains?

Property flippers from outside Amarillo could account for as much as 10 percent of the mortgage foreclosures in Potter and Randall counties through August, one foreclosure analysis shows.
Texas laws prevent creditors from taking homestead property except when the creditor is:
the issuer of a mortgage for all or part of the purchase price of a homestead.
a governmental jurisdiction owed delinquent property taxes on the property.
a creditor that has placed a lien on the property for work and materials used to improve the homestead.
a party in a divorce who places a lien on a homestead resulting from the division of property or being awarded the homestead in the divorce.
a financial institution refinancing a federal lien against a homestead.
the issuer of a home-equity loan secured by the equity in the home.
the issuer of a reverse mortgage in which the homestead is used as collateral.
the issuer of loan for the purchase price of or installation of a manufactured home, or refinancing of the purchase price of real property.
the issuer of a lien that existed against the property before it became a homestead.
A Texas property owner can only claim one homestead. The legal process to claim the homestead exemption for the property must be completed. Occupancy is not required. But the usage must indicate an intent to occupy the premises as a home.
Source: Texas A&M University Real Estate Center
Study the properties of foreclosure.
Information about these houses is posted at the county courthouse of the county in which they are located. Notices must be posted 21 days before the sale day, which state law sets as the first Tuesday of each month.
Drive by the properties and research home values in the neighborhood. However, bidders cannot inspect properties.
Visit the county courthouse to check deed records to find out what liens may be against the property. If the lien being foreclosed is not the oldest lien filed on a property, you cannot take possession of the property. The first lienholder is first in line.
Be at the county courthouse on auction day. Bring a cashier's check. If you make a winning bid, you have to pay 100 percent of the bid on the spot.
Know what you will do with the property. If you're an investor, know if you want to rent or resell the property. If you're trying to fix up a property for mortgage-loan approval, you'll likely have to invest more and be confident you can recoup that investment when the property sells. If the property doesn't sell, it could be difficult to recoup quickly, through rental profits, the kind of money you must invest to make it "mortgage loan-ready."
Sources: Leon Swift, Coldwell Banker First Equity; Lyndon Latham, Amarillo Association of Realtors president
Take out the 32 bank foreclosures experienced by those outside speculators, and you'll find the counties' combined foreclosure rate, so far, looks about the same as it did in 2007 and 2006, said Leon Swift.
Swift, a Coldwell Banker First Equity real estate broker, puts together the company's Amarillo Foreclosure Report, a monthly property-by-property examination of lender foreclosures in Potter and Randall counties.
"These are speculators that came in and bought multiple properties, expecting to be bailed out by market growth and quick price appreciation," Swift said. "They came in to buy low and flip.
"They were not buying them to live in at all. They were just flat speculating - the flippers that flopped."
Foreclosures flat
Swift culled the 32 foreclosed properties of those believed to be flippers from the foreclosure sales statistics and was left with 270 property foreclosures through August.
That number remains virtually unchanged from the 273 lender foreclosures in the first eight months of 2007 and the 278 in the same period of 2006.
"It's just steady," Swift said. "If you're in the PR department, you spin it and say it's down. If you're logical, you say it's flat."
The report deals only with properties in bank foreclosure that are actually sold at auctions held on the first Tuesday of each month at the Potter and Randall county courthouses, Swift said.
Lenders initiate many more foreclosure filings than actually are auctioned on sale day. Reasons vary. The owner might sell the property, make payments to bring his account current, or file for bankruptcy protection.
The numbers also do not include properties forced to be sold due to nonpayment of federal, state or local taxes.
Speculators included, the 312 lender foreclosures this year are less than 1 percent of the 83,862 occupied housing units in Potter and Randall counties listed in 2006 data from the U.S. Census Bureau. Roughly 17 to 19 percent of the units in each county are apartments.
Speculators subtracted, the 270 foreclosures this year are also less than 1 percent of the 53,859 housing units the Census Bureau lists as owner-occupied in the two counties.
"The rate of foreclosure, however you measure it, has been pretty consistent," said Jim Gaines, a research economist with the Texas A&M University Real Estate Center. "The numbers don't indicate it's a bigger problem than it was 10 years ago.
"The moral of the story is, yeah, foreclosures are always around. They always happen and in Amarillo, the primary causes and effects are the standards - divorce, health care (costs), someone loses their job, some unexpected event that causes (a homeowner) to not be able to make their mortgage payment. And those (reasons) exist both in good times and bad times."
The Amarillo market hasn't seen the spike in foreclosures experienced by other markets across the United States because home prices here didn't inflate astronomically, as they did in markets in California, Florida and elsewhere, Gaines said.
And, buyers weren't tempted by such price escalation to sign riskier loans, expecting to refinance for better terms as the home's value soars or sell in a few years at a large profit, he said.
"Home prices (in some markets) went up 25, 30 percent a year for a couple-three years, and now they've gone down 25, 30 percent," he said. "If you bought right at that peak, you're in deep caca."
Auction action
Most often in Potter and Randall counties, lenders buy back the properties to gain the title to the house so they can sell it and recoup some of the losses from the original loan, Swift said.
Swift draws a distinction between outside speculators and local investors who buy foreclosed property to renovate and resell, sometimes carrying loan notes for the buyers.
"They serve a legitimate function," Swift said, because the properties sometimes need so much work that a prospective homeowner couldn't get a loan large enough to cover the cost of the home and its repair.
In the last decade, Amarillo Association of Realtors President Lyndon Latham has purchased 45 to 50 bank-foreclosed properties as investments.
People often believe that if a home with a $100,000 appraised taxable value sells for $70,000 at auction, the bidder has made a $30,000 profit, said Latham, owner of Latham Hometown Realty.
"But there is risk involved," he said. "The last house that I bought? Total disaster on the inside. Most of the time we don't get to see the inside before we buy it. ... You couldn't walk through there and keep your cookies."
Prospective foreclosed property investors should be aware that the perceived profit between a house's appraised value and the buying price at auction can be eroded by the costs of repairs, insurance, utility bills, taxes and closing costs at sale, Latham said.
Of the 45 to 50 foreclosures he has purchased, Latham said, "I was a major loser on three houses. I was unfortunate enough to barely break even on, I'd say, another six or so. And the rest of them, I've made a very reasonable return, and a couple of them, hit a home run.
"If you know what you're doing and you've got some experience at it and are careful in your management, it's a way to make a living. If you make bad judgment calls, it can eat you alive."

Ecologists bemoan the dearth of theory in ecology, in particular, the lack of an overarching, general theory. These complaints largely are unjustified. The components of a general theory of ecology have existed for the past half century; ecologists simply have failed to explicitly recognize them. We present a general theory of ecology and show how it relates to ecology's numerous constituent theories and models. The general theory consists of a description of the domain of ecology and a set of fundamental principles. The domain of ecology is the spatial and temporal patterns of the distribution and abundance of organisms, including causes and consequences. Fundamental principles are broad statements about the patterns that exist and the processes that operate within a domain. The seven fundamental principles of the theory of ecology are: the heterogeneous distribution of organisms, interactions of organisms, contingency, environmental heterogeneity, finite and heterogeneous resources, the mortality of organisms, and the evolutionary cause of ecological properties. These principles are the necessary and sufficient elements for a general theory of ecology. The propositions of any constituent theory of ecology can be shown to be a consequence of these fundamental principles along with principles from other science domains. The general theory establishes relationships among constituent theories through shared fundamental principles. The next challenge is to develop and integrate unified, constituent theories and to establish the relationships among them within the framework established by the general theory.

Recent studies have proposed a monophyletic circumscription of Filago and a new subgeneric treatment for this genus. The aim of this study was to analyse the nuclear genome size in a phylogenetic framework in order to evaluate the systematic significance of this trait to provide insights into the dynamics of genome size evolution and to assess relationships among DNA content, specific life and ecological features within the study group. A holoploid genome size of 76 samples corresponding to 27 taxa was determined using flow cytometry, which represents the first estimates of genome size in Bombycilaena, Filago, Ifloga and Logfia. Chromosome counts were performed for six species. Parsimony and Bayesian analysis of ITS, ETS and rpl32-trnL intergenic spacer sequence data were used to construct molecular phylogenetic trees. The evolution of genome size was investigated troughout the Brownian motion model with the three scaling parameters λ, κ and δ. The mean 2C-value in the Filago group is relatively low (1.3644 ± 0.0079 pg) and homogeneous among species. A high degree of congruence was found between genome size distribution and the major phylogenetic lineages obtained. The generally accepted assumption that annual, ephemeral and autogamous species show low genome sizes was confirmed. Also the relatively high DNA contents found for a couple of species could be correlated with their highly specific ecological requirements. Phylogeny seems to represent the most important factor explaining the pattern of DNA amount variation in the Filago group. The DNA amount does not seem to be strongly influenced by selection.

Goddess: Book Three of The Percheron Saga (Mass Market Paperback)
While enemy ships threaten Percheron's harbor, heroic Lazar lies afflicted with the drezden illness and cannot rise. And Zaradine Ana has been taken prisoner by the mysterious Arafanz and his warriors, and is believed to be with child—carrying the heir to the throne, the unborn son of Zar Boaz.
Torn by an inner conflict raging between heart and head, Zar Boaz can think only of Ana, even as his land sits poised on the brink of devastating war. Launching a daring, desperate plan, he calls for his country's strongest to make one more foray into the desert . . . even as the Goddess reaches the crest of her ascent, throwing mortal and divine alike into chaotic battle for the soul of Percheron.

Similar to the ever-popular, but often maligned "Rusty Muppet", the Benjamin involves one partner standing with ankles grasped, while the other inserts as much of his hand and forearm as possible into the partners anus. The receiving partner then stands upright, while being manipulated like a puppet.

As of July 2010, the United States spent $2.6 trillion per year on health care.1 It is not just the level of spending that is of concern but the rate of growth over time. During the last 30 years, the growth in US health care spending has been 2.1% more per year than growth in gross domestic product (GDP). This is why the percentage of GDP attributable to health has nearly doubled in 30 years. At this rate, projections suggest that by 2040 1 of every 3 dollars will be spent on health care and by 2080, it will be nearly 1 of every 2 dollars.2 In 2010, the entire GDP of France was $2.58 trillion, the world's fifth-largest economy. That means US health care spending is equivalent to the world's fifth-largest economy.

National civil-rights group lauds locals
Published: Friday, August 1, 2008 at 3:00 p.m.
Last Modified: Friday, August 1, 2008 at 2:00 p.m.
KENNER -- A national organization that traces its history back to one of the most important moments in the civil-rights movement recognized three local community leaders for their commitment to making Terrebonne a better place for all the people who live here.
The Southern Christian Leadership Conference, founded by the Rev. Martin Luther King Jr., after the Montgomery, Ala., bus boycott of 1955-56, presented Terrebonne NAACP President Jerome Boykin, local attorney Kevin Thompson and the Rev. Thomas Williams, pastor of Morning Star Baptist Church in Thibodaux, with a Community Service Award Tuesday night during the national organizations annual convention, held this year in Kenner.
The Rev. Vincent Fusilier Sr., pastor of St. Mathews Baptist Church and president of the Terrebonne chapter of the SCLC recommended the three for the award.
"Hes a fighter," Fusilier said of Boykin, who he also credited with registering hundreds of voters during a drive about eight years ago. "He stands for the people that have been mistreated or misused. Hes the man. He gets the job done."
Boykin, who has been the local NAACP president for 13 years, said the recognition is appreciated, especially from a group that counts the son of the civil-rights movements most celebrated leader among its board of directors. Kings son, Martin Luther King III, was present at the convention to clasp the award-winners hands for a photo.
"It was an honor to receive an award from a national organization, especially an organization that was founded by the Rev. Martin Luther King Jr.," Boykin said.
Thompson, one of the first black attorneys in the parish to own his own practice, was nominated largely for his efforts to raise money for recreational-sports program, so the young athletes could afford to play in other parts of the state, Fusilier said
"We purchase uniforms for the team, promote their events, help sponsor some of the trips," said Thompson, who also teaches adult Sunday school at Residence Baptist Church in Mechanicville.
Like Boykin and Williams, Thompson described receiving the award and getting to meet Kings son as a "humbling experience."
Williams, the pastor at Morning Star for 18 years, was honored for leading the charge in 1988-89 to get the Terrebonne School Board to recognize Martin Luther King Jr. Day as a holiday.
"That day was an exciting day for us in Houma," Williams said.
The award ceremony was an emotional moment, the preacher added.
"I was thinking of what Dr. King stood for and what I tried to implement when I tried to get this day considered in Terrebonne Parish," Williams said. "It brought tears to my eyes."
The weeklong convention -- the SCLCs 50th -- was a gala affair that featured actress Marla Gibbs, the Rev. Al Sharpton, actor Clyde R. Jones, and a phoned-in speech from the Rev. Jesse Jackson.

Police are looking for an elderly man after a hitch-hiker was
sexually assaulted in Nelson.
The 21-year-old woman was hitch-hiking from Richmond to
Nelson about 10am on Friday when she was picked up by a man
in his 70s who called himself John, police said.
Instead of dropping the woman near the hospital he locked her
in the car and drove to the Maitai Valley near Sharlands
Creek where she alleges he sexually assaulted her.
The woman managed to escape and run down the Maitai Valley to
get help when the man got out of the car.
"John" is described as being clean-shaven with short grey
hair and a knee brace.
The car is described as a red 90s Nissan hatchback with a
black stripe on the doors.
Anyone with information about the incident is urged to
contact police on (03) 546 3840.

Fog to flow into western valleys overnight
For the second straight night, dense fog will flow ashore and into some of the county's western valleys, says the National Weather Service. Visibility could drop to less than one-quarter mile on some coastal mesas, as it did early Tuesday. And the flog could slow traffic on parts of the I-5 and, possibly, the I-15. A fog advisory will be in effect until 9 a.m. Wednesday.
Forecasters say Wednesday will be mostly clear, with a high of 72 degrees at Lindbergh Field in San Diego. That's average for this time of year. Forecasters also say that the fog could return, in some areas, on Wednesday night, which is Halloween. But the weather will be pleasant for trick-or-treaters, especially those who go out between 4 p.m. and 7 p.m. Temperatures will be in the 50s and 60s in most areas.

Skip to comments.Chicago Tribune reduces newsroom staff (Dinosaur Media DeathWatch)
Posted on 04/22/2009 2:22:04 PM PDT by abb
The Chicago Tribune today reduced its newsroom staff, a response to the economic downturn and changes in the media business model.
The exit of 53 editorial employees is part of a paper-wide cost-cutting effort. Tribune Editor Gerould Kern said in a letter to staff that cuts are part of a newsroom reorganization that will focus us more clearly on our core mission going forward with a newsgathering team of around 430.
With todays actions, we are making the leap to a newsroom structure that we believe is sustainable barring further significant declines in advertising revenue, Kern wrote. While some are leaving now, others will join the newsroom over time as we invest in new skills necessary to grow in the future.
The Chicago Sun-Times and Crains Chicago Business last week reported that the Tribune cuts would be far more severe.
Kern, in his note, said the moves were guided by what he and other editors believe the business will sustain while also supporting the goal of digital growth as the Chicago markets top news and information source.
That means we must concentrate our resources and energies on covering the Chicago area better than anyone else" across all platforms, Kern wrote, adding that the Tribune is looking to expand its local news and digital operations, as well as establishing a watchdog unit to build on consumer and investigative coverage.
Staff reductions and other cost-cutting measures have become commonplace across the media business nationwide. E.W. Scripps Co. folded Denver's Rocky Mountain News and Hearst Corp. discontinued print publication of the Seattle Post-Intelligencer, turning it into an online-only entity. The two major daily papers in Detroit have reduced the frequency of home delivery.

Bad Week for Chicago JournalistsTribune cuts another 53 jobs
By BJ LUTZ and ASSOCIATED PRESS
Updated 3:00 PM CDT, Wed, Apr 22, 2009

Another round of job cuts leaves the Chicago Tribune with about 430 employees.
Just days after the Chicago Sun-Times lost 140 workers in its latest round of layoffs, the Chicago Tribune on Wednesday added to the carnage.
Tribune's Editor, Gerould Kern, annouced Wednesday in a note to employees that the newspaper will cut 53 jobs as part of a newspaper reorganization.
That leaves the newspaper with a staff of about 430. About a dozen jobs were lost at the Trib in December, and another 20 were eliminated in February.
The Chicago Tribune's Phil Rosenthalnoted in a column last August that cuts made that month were the paper's fourth since 2005.
Like other newspapers, the Tribune is suffering through a downturn in advertising revenue due to both a sour economy and a movement toward the Internet.
As it tries to remake itself, the newspaper said it planned to focus its coverage more narrowly on the Chicago area and would expand its local news operation.
Kern's memo indicates the newspaper's digital staff also will grow and a new watchdog unit will increase its consumer and investigative coverage. A new production department will combine copy editing, page design and photo editing.

According to Crain's Chicago Business, among those who lost their jobs Wednesday: business reporters Joshua Boak, Eric Benderoff and Susan Diesenhouse; breaking news reporter James P. Miller; photographers Candice C. Cusic, and David Trotman-Wilkins; assistant features editor and writer of the Tribune's Recession Diaries blog Lou Carlozo and reporter Robert K. Elder; Schaumburg deputy bureau chief William Grady; house and homes editor Elaine Matsushita; assistant editor Suzanne Cosgrove; writer Elizabeth Botts, and sports reporter John Mullin.
Both of Chicago's largest newspapers have filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection. The Chicago Tribune did so last December, with the Chicago Sun-Times following nearly four months later.

The Tribune is actually still profitable. Zell just leveraged his buyout so heavily that he acquired a ton of debt. Included in this layoff was an Art Critic that had been there for almost 40 years. Hey Sam, having fun turning a Chicago historical artifact into a shell of its former self!
...merits its own thread, Walt. {~tho' admittedly I haven't read the rest of the links, yet. :o) }
A couple excerpts tell why it's so very special:
"The hearing took place before the House Judiciary Committee's Subcommittee on Courts and Competition Policy. It was triggered, in part, by a request from Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D., Calif.) that the Justice Department consider easing antitrust rules for newspapers, given the dire financial status of the industry."
And now Pelousy's Liberal-Socialist beard --C. Edwin Baker, a law professor at the University of Pennsylvania-- in no uncertain terms reveals why this "hearing" was really held:
"Baker argued there were better ways to aid newspapers, suggesting that the government offer tax subsidies to underwrite the cost of journalists' salaries."
So THIS is how the "transparency" the Republic was promised works, huh.
Riiiiiight. :o)
Which is ironic since Ted Kennedy tried to close the Boston Herald back in the 80's using the same antitrust rules.
Add Tribune To Tax Trouble ListZell's deal faces audit
By STEVE RHODES
Updated 9:45 AM CDT, Wed, May 13, 2009
The IRS has Tribune Company in its sights.
Todd Stroger isn't the only public figure presiding over a financial mess who is in trouble with tax man these days. Todd, meet Sam Zell.
The IRS is auditing a key - and controversial - component of Zell's purchase of the Tribune Company. Zell faces a potential catastrophe if the agency rules against him.
"As much as $1.8 billion could be at stake," Crain'sreports. "Under scrutiny is a $250-million purchase of Tribune shares in April 2007 by the companys newly minted employee stock ownership plan. The ESOP was the first step in Mr. Zells privatization of the company."
It was also a way for Zell to purchase the company with relatively little money of his own, leveraging the ESOP's assets instead.
"IRS investigators are 'attempting to determine if the transaction was for the benefit of employees,' according to a declaration filed by a Waukesha, Wis.-based agent in charge of the probe," Crain's reports.
If that's the standard, Zell and Tribune are in trouble.
"Employee Benefit, Our Ass," says the Hartford Courant Alumni Association.
Of course, the IRS may have a more technical way of defining "employee benefit" than workers laid off by the Zell regime.
But still. Even Zell himself has said that buying Tribune was a mistake.

Has any one seen the core results from the latest drilling..seems to be taken a long time..Just a little curious..PGLC..Time to here some positive news.
sounds like this fall or early winter. At that point we will have to really question if it will be mined. There isnt that much left to wait for. They have sold off their other interests(cant raise any more money that way), have a majority of the drill results, and are pretty much based on this one mine. If they start issueing new shares and saying 2014-2015 with no hard facts or actions that will be a cue to bail. Im not looking for a permanant Junior in my portfolio. Hope it does well and my shares do well though.
Their IR have told me that results are expected at early 2013 and production at 2014.
I read somewhere, either from a PR or one of the many recent Articles written about Pershing Gold, that the remaining 11 Core drill results would be in the 3rd Quarter,so I believe in September, we will hear something. hope so.
i reading that the cde company buying the shares of the pglc. The cde very strange company, they having ceo who was once the world champion disco dancer. He all the time doing the disco dancing, and making the big dilutionary disco deals. He losing the much money of the shareholder and take the stock from 270 dallars down to 23 dallars. So I take it as bad sign for the shareholder of the pglc, if the disco dancing ceo of the cde buying the shares. It might look like the good tasty punch, but when you looking closer you to find terd in the punchbowl.

This is a large textbook on gastroenterology, and like its author, it is relaxed and wordy. The book is larger than it need be.
The field is seemingly well-covered, although I have not been able to read all of the book. The discussions are not critical, other than superficial comments that stem from the author's personal opinions. The illustrations are excellent, even though they do suffer from the common frailty of demonstrating the most blatant examples of each condition that can be dug out of the files. The practitioner, therefore, will find that his own radiological and pathological interpretations demand a good deal more skill than do the interpretations of these illustrations. (There seems to be no help for this problem in textbooks.)
This seems to me to be an excellent book for relaxed reading. The reader may charge that there is much too much opinion in the text, but

The Tablet, the London-based Catholic newsweekly, has an editorial in its Aug. 15 issue with the headline: U.S. bishops must back Obama. The editorial says in part:
This is indeed a Catholic matter. Few government proposals have had "preferential option for the poor" stamped over them more clearly. ... The church's teaching is clear: health care is a basic right, derived from the right to life itself. Of course abortion is important, but the Catholic bishops have not put anything like equal stress on these other social justice dimensions of the health-care debate. Though some grass-roots Catholic lobby groups have mobilised to support the Obama reforms, without episcopal support they will remain marginal to the debate.
Read the full editorial for a lesson drawn from British Catholic history.

Cancelling Credit Card
Hi People!
So I have a general grasp on how my credit would be changed if I cancel my cards. I get credit utilization/debt ratio etc. I have about 5 cards, only 1 has a balance that I pay off each month. Lets just say for simplicity sake one is 5 years old, one 4, one 3 and so on. This may be an all to simple question but if I cancel my 1 year old card, will that immediately change my average length of history? Or will it stay on there for 7-10 years like say a bad payment? I have no late payments for these cards so that wont really make any difference. My question is just if the math would be (5+4+3+2)/4 is my new average, or if for some reason it is different. Painfully simple question I apologize but I cannot find the answer online.

Any suggestion?
