Steve and Cindy
River Magic purchased this cabin in 2012
River Magic Has the most captivating and amazing views! The location is so special overlooking the French Broad River. It is a mere 1/2 mile from the town of Hot Springs, in a tranquil, quiet setting. It gives a great place to relax and enjoy the river, woods and trails. Come back to the cabin and sit back in the hot tub looking out to the awe inspiring river and mountain views!
You can be to restaurants and shops in less than 5 minutes. The Hot Springs Spa is close by also where you soak in the amazing natural mineral water and have a massage. A great place to ride your bike, fish or boat.
Our desire is to create a quality cabin which reflects all the charm and style of the mountains combined with the comforts and amenities to make your vacation enjoyable and a special experience.
The combination of the majestic river and mountain views is captivating and mesmerizing. What a beautiful place to sit back, relax and take in the views!
Unique private location. Just outside the town of Hot Springs with the National Forest, Appalachian Trail, white water rafting, horse back riding, whitewater rafting, kayaking, biking, fishing, etc. all at your doorstep.
This place was pure magic! We walked into the cabin and wished our reservation was longer! The views are so spectacular and the cabin was oh, so cozy! It was the perfect honeymoon! We enjoyed a night and morning soak in the Hot Springs Resort Spa and the hot stone massage. All were wonderful! Last but not least was dinner at the Mountain Magnolia which was out of this world! Highly recommended. We are already planning our next trip to Hot Springs and River Magic!
I cannot think of the last time I gave a vacation rental or hotel 5 stars and I travel frequently for business. I was so moved by the experience of this getaway that even though my wife already posted a review I felt the need to add my own. We are very particular and have extremely high standards for cleanliness, location, amenities, and functional design. My wife and I have designed and built a number of custom homes and are acutely sensitive to design details. This rental was over the top and I could think of very few things I would have done differently if I had built this place myself. We spent a lot of time admiring the view down the river from both the upper and lower decks. Amazing, peaceful view. Skip the restaurants. You'll want to stay "home" and eat out on the upper deck as the sun goes down. No restaurant in town can compete with this view and experience. We dined at the Iron Horse the first night, the Mountain Magnolia Inn the second night, and stayed at the cabin and had steaks, veggies and wine the third night. That third night was the best by far (due more to the view than my grill skills). The interior of this spacious cabin was impeccable and the wood floors, walls, and ceilings gave off a wonderful smell of wood from which it is all constructed. Everything was solid, tight, well-built. Very peaceful, well-decorated and stocked, excellent location, great/comfortable furnishings. And yes, very romantic and very private on the backside of the cabin facing the river view. I didn't think about my corporate job for one moment that weekend. Perfect weekend getaway.
Other reviewers noted that the views and cabin are even more amazing in person. It's hard to capture the experience and views in a photo.
The owners have stocked the cabin with everything you would want for a romantic getaway. Very clean.
You can see one house from the kitchen window but it's rather far away and we never saw traffic on the tiny road that serves just a few cabins. The cabin sits on 4 acres. So lots of privacy.
Nice outdoor grill. Kitchen was well stocked. There was a large laundry room off the kitchen with tons of shelves for pantry food, supplies, etc. Great layout with attention to detail.
There are only a few places to eat in town but it's nearby.
This is the quintessential romantic cabin for a couple wanting to getaway.
My girlfriend and I have been together for 5 years and had never been on a trip without the kids, so this was our first real vacation just her and I and I must say it was amazing and I can't wait to do it again. The property is very well maintained and taken care of and everything that you see in the pictures is what you will see when you get there but pictures aren't enough to put in perspective the absolute beauty of this property. From the minute we arrived we could not believe the amazing view of the river from the deck and the hot tub which was downstairs. We both said it looked like you were looking at a picture. We enjoyed the piece and quiet and loved waking up early and sitting on the deck watching the sunrise over the mountains and at night just being able to look up and see every star in the sky was just wonderful. We did have a bear on the property the first night of our stay, although we never saw him we saw his footprints and knocked over the trash can and a few lights that were outside. We did go horseback riding at Sandy Bottom Trail Rides which I highly recommend for anyone that is going to be visiting in that area, its decently priced and great for all levels of riders. Also it is a must that you have dinner at Iron Horse Station the food and the service are out of this world. I do believe we will come back again and try to stay longer to explore the town a bit more. Be sure to print out the directions to the cabin before you leave and not just follow GPS there is no cell phone service once you start driving up the mountain. The roads are fairly easy to follow just be mindful of the steep driveway leading up to the cabin but any standard car should do fine as long as the weather is permitting. There is WiFi and cable in the cabin so you wont miss out on much but you wont need it once you see the amazing views. It was a great trip and I would highly recommend and couple to go just to experience it, it doesn't have to be any special occasion just a nice get away and trust me you wont regret spending your money on it.
My husband and I loved River Magic! The views are incredible. The pictures don't do the cabin justice!
My husband and I celebrated our 10th anniversary here and were swept away from the moment we arrived. The view from River Magic is unmatched and the cabin is just lovely, and is very clean. The beautiful kitchen has everything you need for cooking.
We spent our honeymoon in Hot Springs so it was a real gift to relive some of those memories as we enjoyed a glass of wine while overlooking the French Broad from the deck of the River Magic.
We will be back and highly recommend this cabin to anyone needing to pull away to take a moment to refresh and relax.
We had been looking forward to spending Christmas in a beautiful, romantic setting and we could not have been in a better place than River Magic! From the moment we walked in we loved this place. The photos are very true to life and in fact, it is even better in person. The decor is perfect and the view amazing. It had been quite rainy so the river was very full and the sound was just as lulling as being by the ocean. Our host had done some holiday decorating which enhanced the beauty of the big stone fireplace and the decks. We brought lots of food and cooked every meal in the well-equipped kitchen. We did not have a chance to use the hot tub. But the deck was fantastic. We enjoyed sitting out there pondering the view with a glass of wine. We also went into town and enjoyed meandering through the local hardware/general store. The cabin is very quiet with only one nearby house that you hardly notice. The driveway is a little steep but we had no problem navigating it in our SUV. Booking and making arrangements were easy and the host was great about accommodating the changes to our schedule. She was kind enough to text that we could arrive a little early although we had not left early enough to do so. I can't say enough about this beautiful cabin and highly recommend it for couples.
River Magic Cabin is located in Hot Springs, NC. This is a quaint mountain town with many recreational activities. The Appalachian Trail runs through the town and also the French Broad River with great white water rafting, kayaking, tube floating and swimming. The Pisgah National Forest surrounds the town for additional exploration on the many trails through the beautiful woods, along the river and the famous Lover's Leap. Enjoy mountain biking and horse back trail riding in the area. You can also enjoy the many nearby pristine creeks and rivers for fly fishing. There are real natural hot springs here to soak in, a wonderful private and natural experience just a mile from River Magic. For a nearby day trip you can take in Asheville and the Biltmore Estate. You can walk from the Cabin to the trails of National Forest including the Appalachian Trail. Then you may just want to sit back and relax in comfort at River Magic Cabin, an amazing experience in a beautiful, scenic and peaceful setting!.

Places to visit
Salta and the northwest Andes
Things to do
See north west Argentina on foot
Difficulty rating:
We think walking is a great way to experience the eye-popping scenery of Argentina's arid north west. This is a dramatic landscape typified by red and ochre tones, cleaved by jagged canyons and cloaked in bristling cacti.
Our short walks explore the best of the Salta region, combining a series of easy to moderate trails with cultural insights. There's the chance to explore rustic towns, enjoy local folk music, eat at a traditional peña and even take a wine-tasting tour of the bodegas of the Calchaquíes valley. You'll be at comfortable altitudes, for the most part below 2,500m above sea level.
You'll explore the towns of Cachí and Purmamarca and the Humahuaca and Obispo Gorges, stopping for arresting views over crumpled sheets of wind-eroded rock and mountains etched with remarkable colours, from burnt orange to purple.

Ethical Issues in Management 1 Ethical Issues in Management As a manager one is faced with challenges each day that test the moral and ethical values of the individual Among many organizations a common ethical issue that is faced throughout the company is that of harassment Many organizations are committed to providing a working environment where harassment of any form is unacceptable Within an organization harassment is viewed as being offensive towards coworkers or customers and an action that creates an uncomfortable environment for the employees of the organization Though individuals hold their own personal values and ethics as management of an organization it is essential to maintain ones personal values along with the ethical values that are set forth by the organization The company policy that is established by organizations establishes set ethical values for the organization that employees are expected to follow McNamara nd Aside from the moral and ethical values that are established through an individual s childhood environment the individual is also expected to follow their employers moral and ethical values which include but are not limited to treating all coworkers and customers with respect providing a working environment that is free of discrimination not participating in violent of unlawful acts and making decisions that are best for the shareholders McNamara nd Organizations determination to avoid harassment ranges into many forms of harassment Harassing behavior can be in the form of making threats to another insulting another individual mocking or making jokes that one may find offensive making inappropriate comments to another individual or touching another individual in any inappropriate way To provide insight into the company policy regarding harassment all employees are required to take training classes that consist of antiharassment videos Ethical Issues in Management 2 Tribulations and controversy relating to social issues affect not only the individuals involved but those surrounding the situation McNamara nd Social issues can range from harassment pertaining to an individual s race or gender through discrimination or possible abuse or crime as well as gay rights as a social issue Aside from existing throughout society these social issues are also largely present in the workplace As management it is their responsibility to be aware of their employees and ensure that they are all following the organizations harassment policy Providing rights to individual s sexual orientation reduces harassment based on the given rights of these individuals As management there were two employees who found it amusing to discuss the problems associated with relationships of individuals who have relationships with others of the same sex The two employees had nothing positive to say about people with this sexual orientation and would loudly speak about their dislike for those types of individuals Being that there were people of this sexual orientation working within the office the type of conversations were forms of harassment to these individuals The specific individuals with a homosexual preference began to feel unwelcomed within their work environment After making reports to the human resource department the issue was finally addressed though the harassment of the homosexual employees had taken place for many months Due to the fear that the homosexual employee felt the issue was not promptly addressed till the individual felt that they had no other options After investigating the issue the two employees were addressed with concerns over their behavior and ultimately fired for their harassing behavior The homosexual employee was scared to report the issue of harassment in fear of retaliation from the two Ethical Issues in Management 3 employees though eventually felt that the harassment was worse than the retaliation that was possible The complaint process involves speaking directly to ones supervisor or if the issue is regarding the supervisor and unable to be resolved through friendly communication it is possible to address management with the concern or complaint The human resources department is also available to address complaints and require that all complaints be written in paper to include all facts pertaining to the incident Following receipt of the written report the incident is investigated till a verdict on the complaint is reached in which time the complaint is then closed The complaint will be made through confidentiality so the details of the report remain confidential along with the information regarding who made the complaint Based on the findings of the investigation the appropriate action will be taken to address the situation It is essential that the organization develop a set policy regarding harassment and the actions that will be taken regarding employees that choose not to follow the policies and participate in harassment in the workplace To begin the harassment policies the harassment must first be reported in writing to the human resources department Once the written harassment complaint is received the investigation into the complaint will take place Throughout the policy there should be a set of terms regarding those who choose to violate the policies To ensure that the harassment policy is completely understood by all employees it will be addressed during employee orientation and a test will be given upon starting the position Any complaint that is being made must remain confidential by both the individual making the complaint and those working within the human resources department that is responsible for addressing the harassment complaint Written complaints of harassment must receive immediate response with the use of a Ethical Issues in Management 4 thorough investigation that is performed in a sufficient matter of time If the organization requires that all of the complaints regarding harassment are immediately addressed with a thorough investigation then the level of harassment within the organization with drastically decreases Some complaints made through the human resources department may require that law enforcement agency is involved Many cases of harassment are considered illegal some may require that restraining orders are placed or legal action is taken against the individual The use of legal force may be required for individuals who are sexually assaulted or harmed in any way Employees are informed of the possibility of seeking legal assistance when written complaints are made The human resources department would address the individual who made the written complaint to inform them that their complaint is a form of harassment that allows them the option of taking the issue further and making a legal complaint The decision to report the harassment to the police is left up to the individual to decide Though the situation is difficult it is important that all employees act professional throughout the scenario Regardless of the situation harassment is not acceptable in the place of business It is essential that employees of the organization realize the seriousness of harassment and address their management with any concerns As the management team it is essential that they watch over their employees to ensure that harassment is not occurring before their eyes There is a concern for harassment to occur during periods of time when management is not watching Management must inform all of their employees on the seriousness of harassment and the consequences of participating in harassment at the workplace Employees should be aware that they are provided with the openness of filing written complaints and that these complaints will Ethical

Hobbes's Deceiving God: the Correspondence Between Thomas Hobbes and Rene Descartes
Date: August 2015
Creator: Gorescu, Gabriela
Description: In presenting their correspondence, I highlight the means in which Hobbes is able to divorce nature and politics in his philosophy. This is done by bringing to light Hobbes's agreement with Descartes's deceiving God argument. First, I demonstrate Hobbes's hidden agreement with it by analyzing his objection to Descartes's first Meditation. Second, I show that Hobbes and Descartes both retreat into consciousness in order to deal with the possibility of deception on the behalf of God. Third, I trace Hobbes's rational justification for entertaining that very possibility. Fourth, I bring forward Hobbes's certain principle, that God is incomprehensible. Fifth, I demonstrate Hobbes's rationalization for rendering nature incomprehensible in turn. From this key insight, the differences between the two philosophers stand out more. Whereas Descartes rids himself of the possibility of a deceiving God, Hobbes does not. Sixth, I show that Descartes needs to rid himself of that possibility in order to have a basis for science, Hobbes's science is such that he does not need to rid himself of that possibility. My investigation ends by considering both Hobbes's and Descartes's stance on nature, in relation to politics. I find that Hobbes's principle is much more practical that Descartes's principle. Hobbes's ...

Creator: Fonseca Acosta, Rosa
Description: This study investigates factors that can influence leaders to use plebiscites to settle territorial claims. A quick survey of the plebiscite literature shows that the method has been extensively mentioned in the legal, historical, and philosophical fields (mostly through case studies) but less so in political science. This thesis is the first attempt, to my knowledge, to quantitatively investigate the different factors that can influence a leader to use a plebiscite. Using the latest version of the ICOW dataset, I test political and economic theories to try to explain the variation in the decision outcome. This study includes the following variables: identity ties, economic strength, an interaction between identity ties and economic strength, internal constraints (regime type and violent interaction), and external constraints (membership to international organizations). The results suggest that identity ties offer the strongest explanation as to why leaders settle a territorial claim with a plebiscite. Plebiscites have been rarely used to settle territorial claims, but when used they tend to settle cases permanently. This thesis serves as an attempt to revive a method that while difficult to agree upon, can be successful in resolving territorial claims permanently, and more importantly peacefully.

Why Be Friends? Amicus Curiae Briefs in State Courts of Last Resort
Date: December 2014
Creator: Perkins, Jared D.
Description: While there has been a substantial body of research on interest group activity in U.S. federal courts, there has been comparatively little analysis of interest group engagement with state courts. Given that state courts adjudicate the vast majority of cases in the American legal system and very few cases are appealed to the Supreme Court, understanding why organized interests participate in these courts is of great importance. The present study analyzes interest group involvement as amicus curiae in all state courts of last resort from 1995-1999 to examine what factors motivate organized interests to turn to the courts. The results indicate that interest groups are primarily motivated by their policy goals in deciding which cases to file amicus briefs in, but that they are limited in their ability to file by institutional constraints unique to state courts of last resort. This research provides insight into interest group behavior, state courts and the role organized interests play in influencing legal outcomes in the American states.

The First Days of Spring: An Analysis of the International Treatment of Homosexuality
Date: December 2013
Creator: Galvan, Michael R.
Description: In recent history, the rights of gay, lesbian, bisexual and transgendered (LGBT) persons have been in constant fluctuation. Many states criminalize homosexual behavior while other states legally recognize same-sex marriages and same-sex adoptions. There are also irregular patterns where LGBT interest groups form across the globe. With this research project, I begin to explain why these discrepancies in the treatment of homosexuality and the formation of LGBT interest groups occur. I develop a theory that the most obvious contrast across the globe occurs when analyzing the treatment of homosexuals in OECD member states versus non-OECD countries. OECD nations tend to see the gay community struggle for more advanced civil rights and government protections, while non-OECD states have to worry about fundamental human rights to life and liberty. I find that this specific dichotomization is what causes the irregular LGBT interest group formation pattern across the globe; non-OECD nations tend to have fewer LGBT interest groups than their OECD counterparts. When looking at why non-OECD nations and OECD nations suppress the rights of their gay citizens, I find that religion plays a critical role in the suppression of the gay community. In this analysis, I measure religion several different ways, including ...

Gender, Peace and Democracy
Date: August 2013
Creator: Kelly, Eliza G.
Description: In the last several decades there has been immense international emphasis and promotion of gender equality and female participation in the social, economic, and political spheres of society. There has also been an increase in civil conflict recurrence in countries as well as countries transitioning to democracy. This study explores the effect of female participation on peace and democracy. In the first part, I focus on the effect female participation has on decreasing the risk of peace failing in post-civil conflict countries. In many countries, women are marginalized and conflict further marginalizes them. However, I argue that the post-conflict environment allows women to escape this cycle of marginalization and their inclusion and participation is very crucial to sustaining peace. I find that female political and social female decreases the risk of peace failing in post-civil war countries. In the second part, I focus on the effect female participation has on decreasing the risk of authoritarian reversals in countries that have transitioned to and toward democracy. Previous empirical research has focused on women's role in transitions to democracy, factors that contribute to the survival of democracy, as well as how women's participation affects the stability country. I argue that women's social, ...

Inside the Third Sector: a Gongo Level Analysis of Chinese Civil Society
Date: August 2013
Creator: Kirby, John Brandon
Description: This thesis investigates a new variant of the relationship between society and the states: Government-Owned (or Organized) Non-Governmental Organizations (GONGOs). Past research has typically understood civil society as a means to explain the orientation of groups of citizens towards collective outcomes. For decades, NGOs have been a key component of this relationship between political actors but the systematic study of GONGOs has been widely neglected by research. I used an original dataset collected from an NGO directory developed by the China Development Brief (CDB) that provides information on the functional areas of NGOs, their sources of funding and various organizational facts. These data were used to code a series of concepts that will serve as the basis for an initial systematic study into GONGOs and their relationship with the Chinese government. My theoretical expectations are that the primary predictors of an NGO's autonomy relate to their functional areas of operation, their age and other geographical factors. I find preliminary support for the effect of an NGO's age on its autonomy from the state, as well as initial support for the dynamic nature of the relationship between NGOs and the state. I close with a discussion of these findings as well ...

The Issue with Latino Voter Turnout: How Does the Issue of Immigration Affect Latino Voter Turnout?
Date: August 2013
Creator: Robert, John M.
Description: In this study, I investigate how the issue of immigration affects Latino voter turnout. I hypothesize that U.S. Latino citizens who view immigration as highly important and helpful to the United States will be more likely to turn out to vote in midterm and presidential elections. In addition to a contextual analysis on elections in Arizona and California, I perform a probit regression analysis on survey data from Pew Hispanic's 2004 National Survey of Latinos on Politics and Civic Participation. The results are mixed with respect to the initial expectations. While respondents who view immigration as important and helpful are more likely to turn out than those who view immigration as important and hurtful, the results suggest that respondents who find immigration as unimportant may not be less likely to turn out. Further, there are some differences between Latino subgroups, although these differences are minor. Ultimately, the hypotheses presented in this study find moderate support.

The Job of City Manager from Two Points of View
Date: December 2012
Creator: Blackburn, Audley
Description: The purpose of this study is to define more clearly the task of the city manager by examining the following perceptions of his role: 1) The city manager perceives himself as being an administrator, leaving the political realm to the city council. 2) The city manager is a policy-maker perceiving that his job includes providing objectives and goals for council and community. He uses his knowledge and experience to create an atmosphere within which various alternatives can be presented with full and free discussion of these alternatives. 3) The role of the city manager cannot be defined along the lines of two mutually exclusive statements. The job of the manager includes a combination of both administration and policy-making.

No Greater Error: Negotiated Agreements and Their Effects on the Conclusion of Interstate War
Date: December 2012
Creator: Kendall, David F.
Description: Negotiated settlements, formal treaties to unilateral cease-fires, are often accepted to be the preferable method to end war. When negotiated agreements are used in the normal business of international politics they can be potentially helpful devices; however, when they are relied upon for a nation's security or war prevention and conclusion they can prove disastrous. It is the presence of force variables, and not the formality of an agreement which effectively concludes a war. I recategorize success of an agreement to not only mean failure of a return to war, but also whether the tenets of an agreement are actually followed. I utilize a modified version of Fortna's conflict dataset and run three separate logit analyses to test the effectiveness of settlements in a medium n quantitative analysis. If politicians and policy makers realize that it is not treaties that establish peace but the costs of war and military might then perhaps the world will be a more peaceful place.

Federalism and Civil Conflict: the Missing Link?
Date: August 2012
Creator: Lancaster, Ross
Description: This thesis investigates federalism and civil conflict. Past work linking federalism and civil conflict has investigated the factors that pacify or aggravate conflict, but most such studies have examined the effect of decentralization on conflict onset, as opposed to the form federalism takes (such as congruent vs incongruent forms, for example). I collect data on civil conflict, the institutional characteristics of federalist states and fiscal decentralization. My theoretical expectations are that federations who treat federal subjects differently than others, most commonly in an ethnically based manner, are likely to experience greater levels of conflict incidence and more severe conflict. I find support for these expectations, suggesting more ethnically based federations are a detriment to peace preservation. I close with case studies that outline three different paths federations have taken with regards to their federal subunits.

Explanation for the Variation of Women's Rights Among Moderate Muslim Countries
Date: May 2012
Creator: Sortor, Angela E.
Description: Due to the actions of radicals and extremists, many in the West have come to view Islam as a religion of gender inequality that perpetuates the severe oppression of women. However, there is actually great variation in women's rights across Muslim countries. This thesis presents a theoretical framework seeking to explain this variation, by examining differences in family law. The theory supposes that variation can be explained by the strategic actions of political leaders. From this theory, I hypothesize that the variations in women's rights come from the variation in family law, which in large, are due to the existence of groups threatening the power of the political leaders, and the leader's subsequent understanding of this threat. Using a most similar systems research design, I examine 4 moderate Muslim countries, Turkey, Tunisia, Morocco, and Egypt. Through case study research, I find limited support for the above hypothesis.

Newspaper Ownership Structure and the Quality of Local Political News Coverage
Date: May 2012
Creator: Clark, Karla Christine Marie
Description: This research sought to ascertain how newspaper ownership structures influence the quality of local political news coverage. More specifically, do independently owned newspapers tend to produce larger quantities of quality local political reporting than do corporately owned and publicly traded newspapers? In the thesis, I develop an understanding of "quality" news coverage as being coverage that is thematic, or providing interpretive analysis and supplying contextual information. Additionally, I tackle the question of quality news coverage from three angles: whether or not independently owned newspapers provide more quality local political news stories per edition than corporately owned papers; whether or not the percentage of quality local political news stories of total political news stories within an edition is higher for independently owned or corporately owned newspapers; and whether or not the percentage of total political news stories of total news stories is higher for independently owned or corporately owned newspapers.

Electoral System Effects On Anti-muslim Sentiments In Western Europe
Date: December 2011
Creator: Saleemi, Asmara
Description: The purpose of this thesis is to answer the question, why is there a variation in anti-Muslim sentiments across Western Europe? There is existing literature on individual and country-level variable s to explain why prejudice exists, but this research examines the impact of political institutions on anti-Muslim sentiments. Based on new institutionalism theory, electoral systems can shape public attitudes by providing far-right parties a platform to put their concerns on the agenda, and these parties promote anti-Muslim popular sentiments. The results of this analysis support this argument in that the larger the average district magnitude in a country, the greater the anti-Muslim sentiments. The findings also show that an increase in far-right party vote-share also covaries with an increase in anti-Muslim sentiments.

Europeanization and the Rise of Extremist Parties
Date: December 2011
Creator: Dague, Jennifer Lee
Description: The research question addressed by this study is: what is the relationship between Europeanization and the rise of extremist parties? In particular I examine the impact of Europeanization on the rise of extreme right parties in Europe from 1984 to 2006. Europeanization in this paper is defined as a process whereby the transformation of governance at the European level and European integration as a whole has caused distinctive changes in domestic politics. This process of Europeanization is one part of a structure of opportunities for extremist parties (which also include social, economic, and electoral factors). Although this study finds that Europeanization does not have a statistically significant effect it is still an important factor when examining domestic political phenomenon in Europe.

Beggars, Brides, and Bards: The Political Philosophy of Shakespeare's The Taming of the Shrew
Date: August 2011
Creator: Murphy, Stephanie Miranda
Description: To do justice to Shakespeare's comprehensive moral and political thought this paper seeks to discover what we can learn from the political philosophy of his largely neglected comedy, Taming of the Shrew. Not only does this endeavor provide a valuable forgotten link within the critical analyses of the theorists, but it also corrects the various misinterpretations of the play among contemporary critics. I argue that the play surveys various key themes that are rooted in classical political philosophy – such as education, the problems of anger, and the dynamic between nature and convention – and takes into consideration how they apply to modern man. Shakespeare borrows Plato's idea that eroticism is central to education and explicitly references Ovid's love books to reexamine our conceptions about one's formation of character, the proper standards for judging the ideal mate, and the effects of these issues on the stability of the community. I also submit an innovative explanation of the relation between the induction and the main plot. Taken together they exhibit a critique of the role of the poet and his art in modern civil society.

The Enemy of My Enemy: International Alliances Against Transnational Terrorist Organizations
Date: December 2010
Creator: Berthume, Joshua Guy
Description: A dearth of pre-existing research in the field prompted this thesis on whether traditional econometric analyses of war deterrent alliances are applicable to modern alliances for counter terror purposes. Apparent foundational and contextual differences between the two types of alliances and the costs and benefits member nations derive from each lead the author to theorize that factors contributing to the formation of each alliance are fundamentally similar. Multiple types of statistical models are used to measure variables from the Correlates of War and Polity datasets combined with custom variables in a new dataset concerning major transnational terrorist attacks and the resultant alliances in testing the effect of traditionally contributing formation factors on alliances against terrorism. The results indicate that some contributing factors are similar, extant analysis tools have utility and that further investigation is justified.

Schoolyard Politics: Ethics and Language at the International Criminal Tribunal for the Former Yugoslavia
Date: December 2010
Creator: Hatcher, Robert
Description: The International Criminal Tribunal for the Former Yugoslavia (ICTY) has been both contentious and successful. By examining the ICTY from a Levinasian ethical standpoint, we might be able to understand how the court uses language to enforce ethical and moral standards upon post-war societies. Using linguistic methods of analysis combined with traditional data about the ICTY, I empirically examine the court using ordinary least squares (OLS) in order to show the impact that language has upon the court's decision making process. I hypothesize that the court is an ethical entity, and therefore we should not see any evidence of bias against Serbs and that language will provide a robust view of the court as an ethical mechanism.

The Dichotomy of Congressional Approval
Date: August 2010
Creator: Moti, Danish Saleem
Description: This thesis seeks to understand how political awareness affects what information one uses to indicate their approval or disapproval of Congress and its members. More concisely, do more and less aware individuals rely on the same pieces of political information to mold their opinions of Congress? The second question of concern is what role does media consumption play in informing survey respondents about Congress. Third, I consider how survey respondents use cues like the condition of the economy and presidential job performance to help formulate their opinion of Congress Finally, by applying the Congressional approval literature to incumbent level approval, I seek to advance the theory and literature on what motivates the approval of incumbents.

Discovery of Resources and Conflict in the Interstate System, 1816-2001
Date: May 2010
Creator: Clark, Bradley
Description: This study tests a theory detailing the increased likelihood of conflict following an initial resource discovery in the discovering nation and its region. A survey of prior literature shows a multitude of prior research concerning resources and nations' willingness to initiate conflict over those resources, but this prior research lacks any study concerning the effects of the discovery of resources on interstate conflict. The theory discusses the increased likelihood of conflict in the discovering nation as both target and initiator. It further looks at the increased chance of conflict in the discoverer's region due to security dilemmas and proxy wars. The results show strong support for the theory, suggesting nations making new resource discoveries must take extra care to avoid conflict.

Do Different Political Regime Types Use Foreign Aid Differently to Improve Human Development?
Date: December 2009
Creator: Phan, Thu Anh
Description: Existing literature on foreign aid does not indicate what type of political regime is best to achieve human development outcomes or use aid funds more efficiently. I contend that political leaders of different regime types have personal incentives that motivate them to utilize foreign aid to reflect their interests in providing more or less basic social services for their citizens. Using a data set of 126 aid-recipient countries between the years of 1990 and 2007, I employ fixed effects estimation to test the model. The overall results of this research indicate that foreign aid and democratic institutionalization have a positive effect on total enrollment in primary education, while political regime types show little difference from one another in providing public health and education for their citizens.

State Level Causes of Terrorism: Limits on Political Expression
Date: December 2009
Creator: Case, Erik S.
Description: Expanding on prior research into the state level causes of terrorism, I argue that state repression and limited state capacity reduces opportunities for non-violent political expression and increases the utility of terrorism. I also argue that economic freedom can is a form of political expression that can dissipate political grievances. While previous authors analyzed some of these variables separately using data on transnational attacks, I created a complete model incorporating the three categories of variables and tested my hypotheses using data that includes both domestic and transnational attacks. I use regression analysis for hypothesis testing and find support for the three primary contentions of this thesis and conclude that limits on political expression increase the likelihood nations will experienced increased levels of terrorism.

An Informational Theory of Midterm Elections: The Impact of Iraq War Deaths on the 2006 Election.
Date: August 2009
Creator: Kahanek, Jared E.
Description: There has been much scholarly attention directed at the Iraq war's role in determining voter choice. I attempt to extend that research into voter turnout to determine what role the Iraq war played in 2006 voter turnout. This paper argues that turnout at the state level could be explained by the number of US deaths each state had sustained from the Iraq occupation at the time of the election. A theory of voter activation based on information availability is put forth to explain the relationship between national events and voter turnout wherein national events like the Iraq war will raise the amount of information voters have at their disposal, which will increase the likelihood of their voting on election day. Regression analysis comparing the turnout rates of the 50 states to their casualties in Iraq revealed no relationship between the two factors, indicating that something else is responsible for the high turnout of the midterm.

Saying Sorry: Conflict Atrocity and Political Apology
Date: August 2009
Creator: Chalkley, Marie Leone
Description: This study proposes and tests a comprehensive theory detailing the motivations behind political apologies. A brief survey of the literature shows a field rich in case studies but lacking in rigorous scientific analysis. The theory presented proposes a three-level examination of political apology at the state, dyadic, and system levels and incorporates the effects of culture, conflict, and the nature of the international system into analysis. This study makes use of a new dataset recording the occurrence of political apologies for interstate conflict atrocities from 1900 to 2006. The results suggest that the existing literature, while rich, does not account for all the motivating factors behind apology. The results also confirm that political apology is a creation of the modern era and a result of the liberalization of the international system. In conclusion, paths for future research are suggested and the advent of a global "age of apology" is confirmed.

Judicial Creativity or Justice Being Served? A Look at the Use of Joint Criminal Enterprise in the ICTY Prosecution
Date: December 2008
Creator: Williams, Meagan
Description: The development of joint criminal enterprise at the International Criminal Tribunal for the Former Yugoslavia (ICTY) has been controversial since the doctrine was first created in 1997. For the judgments rendered by the ICTY to be perceived as legitimate, the doctrines used to bring charges against defendants must also be perceived as legitimate. The purpose of my thesis is to study the application of joint criminal enterprise at the ICTY and examine how the doctrine has influenced the length of sentences given. I find that joint criminal enterprise may be influencing longer sentences and the three categories of joint criminal enterprise are being used differently on defendants of different power levels. By empirically analyzing the patterns developing at the ICTY, I can see how joint criminal enterprise is influencing sentencing and the fairness of trials.

The Golden Lion Hotel originally dates from the 19th Century as a traditional Coaching Inn in the heart of the Cambridgeshire market town of St Ives.
The hotel is referred to as one a "leading hotel" in St Ives in the 1893 travel book 'The Official Guide to the Great Eastern Railway'.
The Inn boasts many period features throughout including:
History of the Town
The St Ives district has been inhabited since Stone Ages, where the remains of a Roman villa have been found. The first Anglo-Saxon settlers are believed to have arrived in the 5th or 6th century, where they names their settlement Slepe - meaning muddy. The original Anglo-Saxon settlement was at the west end of the modern town we know today.
The present parish church of All Saints which is just a short distance from us, was rebuilt in the 15th century, which some say is on the site of an old Anglo-Saxon church.
During the 17th & 18th centuries St Ives became an key waterway route. Lighters, or horse-drawn barges to you and I, were used to bring coal from the port of Kings Lynn before returning back with corn. Herbert Norris, a local historian, wrote in 1888: "St Ives was formerly the centre of a great river traffic. I have seen the river so covered with barges, that boys could walk across the river near the Quay on their tops".

Bank warns on 'substantial' headwinds hindering UK recovery
The Bank of England has said hurdles continue to stand in the way of Britain's recovery, after governor Mervyn King called on the government to do more to boost growth.
The Bank of England has warned that 'substantial headwinds' continue to stand in the way of the UK's recovery, after its governor Mervyn King urged the government to do more to stimulate growth.
Following surprisingly resilient employment data – showing unemployment fell to 2.49 million – the Bank released the minutes from its latest monetary policy committee (MPC) meeting and raised concerns about the hurdles blocking Britain's return to economic strength.
The growth in household and real incomes has remained choked and there has been a significant drag from fiscal consolidation, the committee said.
On Tuesday, King (pictured) said the recovery had been 'disappointingly slow' and in the MPC's minutes the Bank went into more detail about the difficulties the UK faced.
'The existence of a significant current account deficit at a time of subdued activity and spare capacity suggested that the sterling real exchange rate might be above the level compatible with the necessary rebalancing of the economy,' they said.
There was also little in the way of news to tempt the MPC to alter its inflation outlook, and felt it was too soon to consider the impact of further stimulus.
The minutes of the MPC's monthly meetings, published about two weeks after the meeting is held, are always closely-scrutinised by economists for signs of the Bank's next steps. 'While we do not expect a new round of QE to be announced, we continue to see a bias to easing further,' commented Nomura's Andy Chaytor.

What has The Bank of England or King or his minions ever done for the economy apart from bleating and printing funny money, a whole lot of nothing.
Yes and I can still see from his picture, he is still seeking divine intervention.report this

When will the clowns at the bank realise that if a decent rate of return was paid to savers and pensioners on their savings, there would be more money circulating through the economy as the interest earned would be spent.
I suppose that is too practical and too much common sense for the shortsighted for those stupid eggheads.
Or, is it perhaps that they are allowing massive returns for the bwankers so that they can continue to earn undeserved salaries and bonuses, even with all their criminal activities, rate fixing, rate swaps and downright theft by computer generated charges on accounts healthily in credit etc, etc ,the rich robbing the poor to enhance their already massive riches.
Is it not time,also for them at the FSA, and for those that left who are and were supposed to protect the public to be outed and fined for the criminal excuse of justice. Not justice, but a conspiracy to deny justice to those who suffered at the hands of the bankers, insurers and crooked brokers, not forgetting the bonuses to FSA staff by the rigged 'findings' for the most part favouring he wrongdoers. Rubbing salt into the wounds inflicted by the wrongdoers. Let us not forget the part played in this tragedy by Bliar, cyclops and the Ballses, et al, may they rot in *****.report this

Mervyn needs to go quickly as he is no nearer to being in touch with reality now then he has ever been. The BOE failed to lead when the hour of need came and they have been negligent and vindictive ever since and have been a major obstruction on the road to receovery. As for the pirates above well they may "have seen things coming" but they have lost anybody mug enough to believe that they had somehow a grasp on reality and answers a shed load of money and it is refreshing not to see them spouting their financial C#ap on the networks any more.report this

As far as I am aware, Mervyn King has not yet in his term of office actually made an accurate financial forecast.
If that is the case, then what the hell is he still doing in his job and no doubt drawing a very large salary that may even include bonuses?
They might as well chuck him out now on grounds of utter incompetence and appoint an office junior to the job at much less cost and who would probably have more idea how to do the job.report this

What key event significantly changed the fortunes of the Lions -- for better or worse? Give us your take and we'll give you our definitive moment on May 17.
The Detroit Lions have been playing football under one name or another since 1929, and although they're best known for the second-longest championship drought in pro football (53 years and counting), there are plenty of history-making events to choose from in this project.
In 1950, for example, the Lions acquired quarterback Bobby Layne via a complicated trade that ultimately left the Lions making financial payments to the Chicago Bears. Layne led the Lions to a pair of championships in 1952 and 1953 and was injured during their run to the 1957 title. As legend has it, he cursed the Lions upon his departure for the next 50 years.
The Lions had a rare moment of excitement in 1980, when running back Billy Sims proved to be every bit as good as his billing when they made him the No. 1 overall draft pick. But in a symbol of the Lions' bad fortune, he blew out his knee in 1984 and never played again.
Five years later, the Lions made running back Barry Sanders the No. 3 overall pick in the draft. Sanders' legendary elusiveness made him one of the best players in franchise history.
The arrival of Matt Millen as team president/general manager/CEO in 2001 ushered in the worst decade of performance, based on winning percentage, in NFL history. Millen was fired in 2008 as the Lions were on their way to a 0-16 season, but the franchise is still reassembling itself from the mess he left behind.

He was born in St. John's, Newfoundland, as the son of merchant John Bond. Bond grew up in St. John's until 1872 when his father died and left the family a good deal of money.

Healthy Swaps-Sprouted Bread
Be adventurous, and try something new this week: Buy some sprouted bread. Why? They can be more nutrient-packed and have less impact on blood sugar than regular breads.
Formerly found only in the refrigerated sections of little health food stores, breads made from sprouted grains are increasing in popularity and availability. Traditional bread is made from grains –– usually, little hard kernels –– that are ground up and made into flour. Sprouted bread is made from grains that have been allowed to sprout before being ground. Once it sprouts, the grain contains a greater array of nutrients, and it may even decrease a bit in carbohydrates and glycemic impact. Jennie Brand-Miller and her colleagues, co-authors of The New Glucose Revolution and What Makes My Blood Glucose Go Up and Down? theorize that when a grain begins to sprout, it is likely that it uses its most readily available carbohydrate to fuel the actual growing of the tiny shoot. The result would be fewer carbohydrates left after sprouting.
Virtually any grain that can be made into flour can be sprouted first, so browse the selection in your natural foods store and start experimenting. You may find you love the crunch of one or the tangy, nutty flavor of another.

After a year or so of trying to follow the diet plan and test his glucose levels, things appeared to be back in "normal" range, and stood there until a couple of years after my own diagnosis.
