Schumann made an orchestral version of these songs between 27 October and 8 November 1841; they remain unpublished. One assumes that the piano versions pre-date the orchestrations, but this cannot be proved. My first attempt at song composition with orchestra notes the composer in his Tagebuch. Entflieh mit mir is scored for tenor, two flutes, oboes, horns in E, bassoons, strings and timpani. This version is two bars longer than the piano accompanied song. Es fiel ein Reif is scored for soprano, two oboes, clarinets in A, horns in C, and strings. Auf ihrem Grab is scored for soprano and tenor, two flutes, bassoon and strings, including two violas and cellos. In some reference works one finds the incorrect assertion that Tragödie was conceived as a piece for chorus and orchestra. The score makes clear that the composer had only solo voices in mind. The score of this version was long thought lost, but it re-emerged for auction at Sothebys in December 1991.

Tip: For translated versions see the "Contributed by other people" chapter at the end of this page. Tip: Don't know how to unpack a zip file? Use 7-zip. Tip: Check out the JkDefrag forum for the latest news!
Tip: Cleanup old junk from your harddisk before running JkDefrag, for example with "Start -> Programs -> Accessories -> System Tools -> Disk Cleanup", or with something like the freeware CCleaner program.
Tip: Reboot before running JkDefrag. This will release files that are in use, so they can be defragmented. You can also run JkDefrag in Windows safe mode (press F8 while booting) to defrag even more files.
Tip: Stop your real time virus scanner before running JkDefrag. Virus scanners check all disk activity, making defragmentation and optimization very slow.
Tip: Move the swap file to another volume, reboot, defragment, and move the swap file back. If you don't have a second volume then temporarily make the swap file small, for example 100Mb.
Tip: If an application (for example a database) prevents certain files from being defragmented then stop the application, run JkDefrag for the particular data directory only, and restart the application.
Tip: Package unused files with a packager such as 7-zip . The packagefile not only takes less harddisk space, but will also defragment and optimize much faster than the individual files. Note: This does not apply to Windows NTFS compression, which will actually make defragmentation and optimization a lot slower.
Tip: Buy the biggest harddisk you can afford. Investing in a bigger harddisk gives more speed-per-dollar than investing in a faster CPU or more memory.
Tip: The first partition on a harddisk is significantly faster than other partitions. Try to use other partitions only for "SpaceHog" data (see "What are SpaceHogs?").
Tip: If you have 2 physical harddisks (of the same speed), then place the pagefile on the first partition of the second harddisk.
Defragmentation and optimizing will not only make a harddisk faster, but also lengthen it's life span. The disk will have less work to do and therefore have less wear and tear. Secondly, the sorting optimization strategies (see the "-a" option) will refresh all the magnetic data on your harddisk. However, defragmenting and optimizing is work, so excessive defragmenting and optimizing can actually cause more wear and tear than it prevents. JkDefrag is therefore set for "fast" optimization by default, intended to be used on a daily basis. The other optimizations should only be used occasionally.

Ask a GTU student what they hope to do when they graduate. Or ask some alums how they're spending their days. If your guess is that their work, or their dream, is teaching in higher education, you may be surprised. Some have found their true calling — and true success — in helping to shape young minds in junior high through community college.

An Interview with Heup Young Kim, 2009 Alum of the Year I'm trying to construct a theology of the Tao or "Theo-Tao". The current dualistic way of thinking of the West consists of theo-logos or theology, which is primarily doctrinal, and its counterpart theo-praxis, or action. I try and bring in the Tao, the embodiment of the cosmic way in our historical existence. If you know Tao, you cannot divide knowing and acting. Theo-Tao provides a new paradigm for this millennium characterized by dialogue.

You might need a list to describe Heng Sure. He's a Buddhist monk, director of the Berkeley Buddhist Monastery, scholar, member of several interfaith organizations, GTU alumnus, teacher at Pacific School of Religion (PSR), musician, singer-songwriter of Buddhist folksongs, story teller, youth leader, and most recently, a tweeter on Twitter. Or you could drop the list and just say he is real. His name — given to him by his teacher Master Hsuan Hua when he became a monk — translated from Mandarin, means "constantly real."

Dr. Terrence Tilley, Ph.D. '76, professor and chair of the department of Theology at Fordham University, and the GTU's 2008 Alumnus of the Year, feels called to mentor. It is, he says, a part of his vocation in theology: "I get immense satisfaction if others are able to thrive because of a contribution I've made," he says. Tilley is a prolific author and scholar, a dedicated professor recognized by students and colleagues for excellence in teaching, and a gifted administrator. He seems simply to weave mentoring into each of his many roles. His drive to help may have started when he was an undergraduate, working his way through the University of San Francisco as a nursing-orderly at St. San Francisco's St. Mary's Hospital.

Mr. BELL, from a majority of the Committee on Elections, submitted a report signed by himself and Messrs. Fletcher, Sayre, Spann and Lockridge, that all specifications in the contest of Johnson against Overstreet, except the charge of bribery are not sustained by sufficient evidence to entitle the con tester to a seat in the Senate, and that the legal effect of the evidence as to the charge of bribery is not such as to sufficiently sustain the direct charge of bribery. And believing the contest was made in good faith, the report recommends that the contestor be allowed per diem and reasonable expenses.
Mr. McCULLOUGH, as a minority of said Committee, reported with the majority as to all charges but bribery, but that the charge of bribery is made out and sustained by the evidence, and it sets out such facts as are fully and clearly proven by the direct and circumstantial evidence adduced before the Committee.
Then came a recess till 2 o'clock.

Sure they can. Every other video game series does.
Because most of the ideas act like minor aesthetic issues most people don't care about (or even like) single-handedly ruin the game. Regarding that particular one, it seems to amount to making the crowd meter longer, in which case it would make more sense to for the meter to drop slower (such as at the RB2 rate).
If you want to make it more realistic, you would fail out for missing just a few notes early on, but when you become bigger than Jesus the audience wouldn't care about the worst performances. But while that would make it more realistic, it would make for awful game design to make the early parts very difficult and the later parts super easy.

What you see is what you hear
My esteemed NEPR colleague Susan Kaplan would not consider herself a classical music aficionado. That's OK; there are, as you know, lots of classical music non-aficionados out there, who nonetheless lead rich and happy lives, even becoming productive members of society.
But one day a few years back, Susan came at me all excited about a classical concert she had just attended. Really, she was walking on air. What was the concert? Beethoven's Ninth? A star soloist? Hardly. It was chamber music. Chamber music! If there's one little corner of the already rarefied classical world that should have an "Aficionados Only!" warning posted, it's chamber music. Especially the string quartet. Can't get rarer and more aficionado-ish than the string quartet. In fact, our Susan had attended a concert by the Emerson Quartet, including their performance of the String Quartet in G minor by the Norwegian composer Edvard Grieg — a fabulous piece, but not exactly a chart-topper, even in quartet circles.
But she went gaga over it! And what struck me about her description was how visual it was. Susan didn't just hear the music, she saw it — the intensity, the interplay, the drama of the music as it unfolded. The players didn't just sit there. They moved, and the music moved with them. Of course, the Emersons are incapable of making unbeautiful sounds. But without the visual element, much of the dynamism of the music might have gone unnoticed. Here's part of the Grieg played by the Orlando Quartet. Though I might wish that they, like many quartets, got their heads out of their music stands a little more, I think you'll get an idea of what thrilled Susan that one afternoon.
So, is this fixation on the visual element in music just a symptom of our TV-addicted age? Or is there something intrinsic about the way we "see" music as well as hear it? A partial answer was provided today in Shankar Vedantam's Morning Edition report on a study by psychologist and one-time piano prodigy Chia-Jung Tsay published in Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences. To summarize briefly,
...(Tsay) showed amateur and professional musicians clips from classical-music competitions. She asked her volunteers to guess the winners, but there was a twist. Different volunteers were given different kinds of clips: silent videos, audio recordings or videos with sound. In other words, some volunteers could only hear the music. Some could see the musicians and hear the music. And some could only see the musicians — they heard nothing.
The result?
Incredibly, the volunteers were better able to identify the winners when they couldn't hear the music at all, compared with when they could only hear the music. In fact, it was even worse than that: When the volunteers could see the musicians and hear the music, they became less accurate in picking the winners compared with when they could only see the performers. The music was actually a distraction.
Huh! And it wasn't just about the musicians' looks, either.
"I wouldn't necessarily say that this is indicative of superficial judgment," Tsay says. "There is something about visual information that is better able to convey cues such as passion or involvement or creativity. These elements are very much a part of high-quality performance."
You bet they are. And considering that our ability to hear music without seeing it is only a century old, barely a blip in human history, it strikes me that the importance of the visual element of music, far from being a modern phenomenon, is as old as music itself. Classical music, typically, has long had a conflicted attitude about its visual element, as it's had about anything that smacks of show business. Look like you're enjoying yourself on stage and critics will be all over you with accusations of playing to the crowd and putting yourself ahead of the music. Assume a posture of rapt absorption in the music, and you will be praised by the same critics for your serious artistry and featly to the composer. Of course, the latter is every bit as much a practiced stance as the former, as revealed in an anecdote about sainted British pianist Dame Myra Hess. To paraphrase, a page-turner once noticed the penciled notation "l.u." at several points in a score, and asked Dame Myra what they meant. "Look up," was the answer, meaning they marked the sublime moments Dame Myra emphasized by casting her eyes heavenwards.
But here as eleswhere in classicaldom, there's change in the air— change for the better, as far as I'm concerned. The younger generation of peformers, it has been my impression, not only recognizes but embraces the visual component of their artistry. Cannily, NPR illustrates the web page for Vedantam's report with an action shot (see above) of the veritable poster pianist for musicians who like to be seen as well as heard, Lang Lang. Known for both his high-octane, freewheeling virtuosity and highly emotive stage manner, Lang Lang annoys some ("As a trained serious classical pianist for most of my life, I find this behavior very annoying and distracting," wrote one recent Tanglewood audience member in a letter to the Berkshire Eagle), but delights others, mainly of a younger generation. Like, for instance, my pre-teen daughter, who greeted his opening flourish in Mendelssohn's Piano Concerto No. 1 at Tanglewood about ten years ago with a smile I'll never forget. Would she have been as captivated by someone who just sat there and played, however well? No way. Rock on, Lang Lang! And don't let 'em tell you not to.
What you see may not be what you hear...
I've seen this regularly with music of our time. In concert: compelling and extraordinary. On CD/the radio: repetitive, cacophonous, annoying. Excellent commentary, John--thank-you. I'm gong to go flail my arms now. Julia

Reference-class headphones built to satisfy the demanding ears Quincy Jones.
The AKG Q701 reference-class premium headphones represent a momentous partnership with AKG and one of the most accomplished musicians of the 20th century: Quincy Jones— an American icon whose productions include the best-selling album (Thriller) and single ("We Are the World") of all time. Quincy has received an unprecedented 79 GRAMMY nominations and 27 GRAMMY awards, more than any other living artist. It stands to reason that the headphones he puts his name to must be nothing but the very best—and the Q701s are the most accurate and responsive headphones AKG has ever produced.
Reference denotes a class of audio equipment that imparts little to no change to the input audio signal, producing a huge, airy, three-dimensional sound. The over-ear headphones feature revolutionary flat-wire voice coils that create a spacious, dramatic soundstage with precise 360-degree imaging and outstanding transient response. Patented two-layer diaphragms similar to their professional studio counterparts offer sparkling high-frequency sound and accurate bass response. Additionally, a high-performance neodymium magnet system makes the headphones heat-resistant for minimal distortion at any listening level. The Q701s deliver pinpoint imaging with unmatched realism.
Says Quincy, "This is the best quality sound I've heard in headphones, ever. And I'm proud my name is on them."

Ms. Mayer was hired from Google last July to turn around struggling Yahoo. While she hasn't explicitly laid out a turnaround strategy, Ms. Mayer has revamped some Yahoo websites such as Yahoo Mail and Flickr, increased employee perks and begun to acquire small companies in order to add talent.
The 37-year-old CEO has also said she wants Yahoo, which owns popular sports, news and entertainment sites, to become a force in mobile-device software for consumers and to provide "customized" content for people based on their interests, background and location.

While mobile is a "nascent source of revenue for us," Yahoo sites get more than 200 million monthly unique visitors from mobile-device users, Ms. Mayer said on Monday's call following the earnings release. "With any platform shift, revenue always follows users, and mobile will be no different," she said.
Over the quarter, Yahoo's core business of online "display" advertising continued to suffer. Revenue from graphical, interactive and video ads—excluding commissions paid to Yahoo's partners—declined 5% from a year earlier.

More quote details and news » Bing search engine, rose 14% from a year ago, excluding commission payouts. Yahoo's revenue from search ads has grown in recent quarters, benefiting from guaranteed payments from Microsoft, which shares ad revenue with Yahoo, and a rise in the number of times people click on the search ads.
Yahoo still faces numerous challenges, including marketers who have expressed a lack of enthusiasm about the company. Ms. Mayer earlier this month met with major U.S. ad agencies to speak about her priorities for improving the company. Agency executives privately said there weren't many details and there is currently more excitement about opportunities with Google and Facebook Inc. FB +0.89% Facebook Inc.

More quote details and news »
In addition, Yahoo's most important websites are shrinking, becoming potentially less valuable to advertisers. In December, the company's U.S.-based Web-search, sports, finance and email sites all had 12% to 25% fewer unique visitors compared with a year earlier, according to comScore Inc. SCOR -0.15% comScore Inc. U.S.: Nasdaq $25.98 -0.04 -0.15% Dec. 13, 2013 10:33 am Volume (Delayed 15m) : 40,334 P/E Ratio N/A Market Cap $928.68 Million Dividend Yield N/A Rev. per Employee $245,135 More quote details and news »
As a result, Yahoo's share in the online-advertising market is still eroding. Research firm eMarketer Inc. estimates Yahoo captured 8.4% of U.S. online-ad revenue in 2012, compared with 9.6% in 2011 and 12.8% in 2010.
Overall, Yahoo posted fourth-quarter earnings of $272 million, or 23 cents a share, down from $296 million, or 24 cents a share, a year earlier, weighed down by charges stemming from the recent closure of its South Korean business. Revenue increased to $1.35 billion from $1.32 billion.
Yahoo Chief Financial Officer Ken Goldman forecast that in the current quarter, the company would generate $1.07 billion to $1.1 billion in revenue minus commissions paid to partners, roughly equivalent to $1.08 billion a year earlier. For 2013, he forecast $4.5 billion to $4.6 billion in full-year revenue, minus commission payouts, up from $4.46 billion in 2012.
Mr. Goldman's forecast was generally in line with analysts' expectations.

The Elliptical Should Not Be Used As A Decorative Item
Getting an expensive gym membership will not guarantee weight loss. Neither will getting a best top notch Elliptical with all new features on it, if it will not be used. To get the full benefits out of this machine, we need to get on it at least 3 times a week.
A common mistake is doing too much too soon. Whereas with a treadmill, normal body action is applied, it does not feel too alien. The use of an elliptical however requires a different type of movement which we are not accustomed to. It can take a bit of time to get to the actual fat burning stage. The legs need time to build up the strength they need to propel an elliptical. This is not possible overnight. So to prevent getting disheartened with your new piece of equipment, it is important to use it for shorter intervals at the start but also use it regularly. Endurance can only be built gradually.
Wanting to see results very fast can also discourage its use. It is important to remember that fat loss with the elliptical any other machine will take time. The results may not show on the scale immediately. However frequent use will reveal a more toned up and fitter body. This should also be viewed as reaching an important milestone, in the way of achieving weight loss. To know more, visit this link.
Using the elliptical as an effective warm up and cool down equipment as part of other home gym equipment should ensure it is not sitting gathering unwanted dust.
It is important to set realistic goals when setting out to loose weight. Looking at what other individuals can do should serve only as a motivational factor. For instance if somebody at the gym can work an hour on the elliptical and you cant, that should not be daunting. They have simply been working out longer than you have. When they started they possibly may not have been capable of doing more than five minutes in one go.
Working too hard and loosing muscle as a result can be detrimental to weight loss. It is the muscle that uses all the extra calories that we may eat during the diet period. Loosing fat is what we should be aiming at instead. Using a more advanced scale that gives the body water weight, fat and muscle readings should be used to better monitor progress during weight loss.

Hot Sock Ultralight Diffuser
SlcHairBlondeColor Treated HairFine or Thin HairGreat Invention!I bought this because the diffuser for the Sedu 4000 is out of stock. This works very well. It's super-light, won't take up any room in your suitcase, and you can't beat the price. I have to keep the concentrator nozzle on the Sedu because the nose of the dryer is too short to hold the sock on, but my hair dries fast and I get volume and waves.posted Oct 17, 2012Link to this post
LaverneColorado MountainsHairLight BrownDry HairCurly HairColor Treated HairWorks Well! Will Keep One In My Travel Case.The diffuser works well, but it fits rather loosely on the hair dryer & is a little bulky. It is much better than the heavy plastic ones. I bought two, so one will be kept in my travel case.posted Oct 2, 2012Link to this post
AmMidwest, USAHairDark BrownCurly HairFine or Thin HairWorks Great For Me!I purchased my hot sock a few months ago and it's working like a charm on my naturally curly, fine hair. :) Reminds me of a product I used as a teen. Compared with the hard plastic diffusers I've used over the years, this seems to work just as well.posted Aug 10, 2012Link to this post
Susan S.United StatesHairCurly HairColor Treated HairFine or Thin HairUselessThis won't even stay on my solia hair dryer. Everytime I turn it on it blows off. There needs to be a way to tighten it around the tip so it stays in place. I was really hoping it would work since it is so small and easily packable for traveling! Very dissappointed.posted Jan 27, 2012Link to this post

LaurieLong IslandHairBlondeCurly HairCan't Be Without It!!I've been using the "Hot Sock" diffuser for years. When one wears out I get another one. It's so much better than those big, clunky, plastic diffusers. I have wavy hair and this diffuser works best for me.posted Aug 19, 2011Link to this post
NanPAHairLight BrownCurly HairThe Best!!I have been using Hot Sock for about 4 years, and the salon where I purchased them has stopped carrying them, so I was so glad to find them online!! This is by far the best diffuser I've ever used! I hardly ever use my curling iron anymore--just a little spray gel and my Hot Sock are all I need to get just the look I want!! Thanks so much!! I'm stocking up!! The foam does eventually get holes in it from the heat, so having an extra on hand is a plus!!posted Aug 14, 2011Link to this post
SusanVancouver, British Columbia CanadaHairBlondeCurly HairFine or Thin HairTerrific Find!I can honestly say that I don't write reviews but this little item is well worth the effort. It acts as a terrific diffuser and will travel with me to Europe so I don't have to worry about the electrical conversion for my hairdryer diffuser. To say nothing of the space it allows for in my luggage.
It is a fabulous find for very little money. Lucky me for finding it at Folica and lucky you for doing the same!posted Jul 14, 2011Link to this post -
JudiWest CoastHairDark BrownCurly HairFine or Thin HairDaily Scrunching HelpI have been using the Hot Sock for about 10 years to blow dry and hand scrunch my fine curly hair. It is light weight, fits over my hairdryer like a sock and works just right. I need to replace about every 2 years as the hot air burns big holes in the mesh but this is worth it as the Sock meets my daily hair grooming needs so well.

Newport Beach Real Estate Homes For Sale
Newport Beach, California is frequently ranked as one of the wealthiest communities in the U.S, and is one of the most sought-after places to live. Home to more than 85,000 people, this coastal community boasts not only beautiful oceanfront views, but also magnificent homes, cultural festivities, pleasant weather with mild temperatures throughout the year, and easy access to the metropolitan capital of the west coast, Los Angeles. Newport Beach is located in Orange County Ca just south of Huntington Beach and north of Laguna Beach and is home to many well-known upscale communities and places of interest. Newport Beach real estate is some of the most upscale in the United States -- the luxury you will find here is unsurpassed on the West Coast.
Incorporated in 1906 with only 400 residents, beautiful Newport Beach grew after World War II to become a cultural and commercial hub for Orange County. The community and its neighbors are home to a range of cultural attractions, including art galleries in Laguna Beach, world-famous surf spots at Huntington Beach and the Wedge, and high-end shopping at Fashion Island. This has resulted in a lively social scene and plenty to see and do for those who live in the area or are just visiting. Newport Beach is the jewel of Orange County and has an abundance of luxury properties in many of the community's posh neighborhoods. A mostly residential city, it offers first class restaurants, recreation, real estate, and of course, ocean views, in Southern California.
Notable communities within Newport Beach include Newport Coast, Balboa Peninsula, Balboa Island, and Corona del Mar. All of the social and cultural activities of Orange County and nearby Los Angeles County are within reach of Newport Beach's most desirable properties, including Disneyland, Angel Stadium, the University of California Irvine, the Orange County Performing Arts Center, and South Coast Plaza. Famous golf courses, boutique shopping along picturesque streets in Balboa and Corona del Mar, hiking and biking trails that wind through the Back Bay ecological preserve, and a range of local and national restaurants make up just a few of the possibilities within Newport Beach. Newport Harbor is the small boat harbor that is home to more than 9,000 vessels, many of which are available for charter or cruise. The Catalina Flyer can take you to famed Catalina Island just 26 miles off the coast, and back on the mainland, the Newport Beach Harbor offers dining, shopping, and sightseeing opportunities, as well as many options in luxury real estate.
John Wayne Airport serves Orange County with most of the major airlines, so residents of Newport Beach have many options for travel domestically and internationally. The Los Angeles International Airport is just an hour's drive to the northwest up the coast and offers international travel all over the globe. However, the cultural offerings in this upscale community are numerous and offer many interesting experiences without leaving the community. Newport Beach itself plays host to a range of events throughout the year, including jazz, film, food, and boat festivals, the Toshiba PGA Champions Golf Classic, the Newport-Ensenada Yacht Race, the Taste of Newport, the Orange County Marathon, and plenty of holiday celebrations, including the Balboa Fourth of July Parade, the Back Bay fireworks display, the Newport Harbor Christmas Boat Parade, and the Christmas tree lighting at Fashion Island. Living in a beautiful ocean or bay view Newport Beach home will give you easy access to all of the most desirable attractions and events in the area.

Ideal transformer in electrical systems
The Ideal Transformer block models an ideal power-conserving transformer, described with the following equations:
V1 | Primary voltage |
V2 | Secondary voltage |
I1 | Current flowing into the primary + terminal |
I2 | Current flowing out of the secondary + terminal |
N | Winding ratio |
This block can be used to represent either an AC transformer or a solid-state DC to DC converter. To model a transformer with inductance and mutual inductance terms, use the Mutual Inductor block.
The two electrical networks connected to the primary and secondary windings must each have their own Electrical Reference block.

I bought 4 of these and they look great. Per some of the other reviews, I used wood glue in addition to the screws and hope that will give them some added stability. They seem to be of decent quality and the leather seat is very nice, but even after taking great care to assemble (maybe 15 minutes per stool) there was still a bit of wobble on a couple of them. Easily solved with felt feet, but if that is an issue for you, you may consider a more expensive or different option.
I love my brown leather backless bar stools. They add a touch of class to my kitchen bar. The seats are comfortable with a wider than usual seat. The saddle shape lend itself the the comfort of the stool. The materials are sturdy and assembly was easy. Eventhough it was recommended that 2 people put the stools together, I was able to do it myself. It was great that the tools were included!
I will by 2 more I have large or heavy family members I don't worry because they are very strurdy
I am happy that I purchased these stools. I looked for many hours on line at all types, quality and priced stools before purchasing these. I think they are a great value. They look more expensive than they are. They are comfortable to sit on, they are the perfect height for my counter and match my granite counter top very well. I think they are a good value!
I had been looking for stools for our breakfast bar for a long time. The price and quality of these stools made an excellent choice.
Bought these bar stools for our counter bar in our kitchen and they are really nice. Not cheap material at all. The color of the wood and leather is really nice. And if anyone is wondering if they are sturdy, we can guarantee that they hold up to 250lbs.
This product suits are needs perfectly at our kitchen counter. The stools have comfortable wide seats with great quality in the leather and wooden legs. They are easy to assemble with all of the tools needed included with the package.
Stools are a great buy, especially for the price. They look great, VERY easy to assemble. Wish the seats were a bit more cushy, but they are large and comfortable. Was pleased to see the legs are very sturdy. Would buy again.
I was stupid...I should have ordered 4 instead of 2.. Beautiful,and for a great price. You've seen the garbage available in most home stores. Stools half this quality and looks go for twice the price. Please let me know when this is back in stack!

Missing pieces - Dangerous holes in background checks
POSTED: 2:12 PM Feb 07 2013
UPDATED: 2:05 PM Feb 20 2013
The instant background check was designed to keep guns out of the hands of dangerous people.
But the system has flaws, and critics claim gun buyers with serious mental illness are clearing background checks undetected.
When does mental illness become a problem? Who among us has constitutional rights, and who should give them up?

Communities and individuals that attribute cultural meaning to their landscapes often see these surroundings as common assets, even when land or resources are owned or managed by diverse landowners or resource managers. Particularly in rural areas, landscapes and their resources form an important dimension of community life and cultural heritage, even as economies change and resource-dependencies evolve. Impacts from forces such as resource extraction and infrastructure and tourism development present particular challenges for community leaders and resource managers, as conservation and planning involve multiple actors at multiple scales, and the resources of interest can often only be managed cooperatively across ownership boundaries.
The three studies that comprise this dissertation examine the discourses of conservation and change that contribute to and shape the management of culturally important natural resources and landscapes. Each study is organized around the examination of individual, community and/or organizational discourses. Discourses produce and reflect knowledge and power relationships that are both explicit and implicit in societies, and serve as distinct types of social action that rhetorically direct and shape the fields of action in which people make decisions about resource management.
The first study uses interviews with National Park Service staff and visitors to Acadia National Park, and community leaders in Bar Harbor, ME, to look at emerging discourses around the management of a "newly discovered," natural resource: the night sky. The second study examines the ways forests in Vermont are interpreted for various publics by the public and private agencies and organizations that manage them. The third study examines the political/rhetorical discourses of place that surround concerns and observations about landscape change in three small, rural communities in Vermont. Together, the studies form a body of work that informs theory and practice surrounding conservation and development in rural communities.

As any seasoned observer of the political dance could have predicted, Mitt Romney's debate performance on Wednesday completed his full-circle journey of ideology.
When Romney ran for governor of Massachusetts in 2002 (and for senator in 1994) he was a Republican moderate in the mold of his father. When he began his marathon run(s) for president way back in the middle of the last decade he went through a battlefield conversion. He morphed into a "severely" conservative primary candidate, leaning so far to the right he might have suffered from mild attacks of vertigo.
Wednesday night a national audience witnessed a kind of homecoming as Romney embraced the successes of his adopted blue state. Romney's ardor for the good times he had as governor came after he spent the last two cycles of Republican primaries ridiculing Massachusetts' liberal tendencies, describing his experience among the lefties as being "a vegetarian at a cattle ranch."
The Romney we saw on Wednesday was subtly different. He loved education, hated tax deductions, enjoyed working with Democrats and claimed the Romneycare precursor of Obamacare as his own.
He told the debate's moderator, Jim Lehrer: "Jim, I had the great experience -- it didn't seem like it at the time -- of being elected in a state where my legislature was 87% Democrat. And that meant I figured out from day one I had to get along and I had to work across the aisle to get anything done. We drove our schools to be No. 1 in the nation. We cut taxes 19 times." In short, he painted a portrait of bipartisan bliss.
No surprises there. The passage of presidential candidates from the extreme margins of their parties' base to the center is as predictable as the annual migration of buzzards from Miami to Hinckley, Ohio. Still, as a public service, a quick examination of Romney's new embrace of Massachusetts is in order.
But before we get into the details, tuck away this truism on the ways of Massachusetts politics. Governors come and go; the overriding constant is an overwhelming Democratic majority in the state legislature. It has the final, veto-proof say on budgets, laws and policy. To credit any Bay State governor for a balanced budget or blame him for a high unemployment rate is akin to holding him responsible for the weather.
Let's take it by categories.
In the debate, Romney stressed the importance of education, noting more than once that Massachusetts leads the nation in education outcomes. This is largely true, depending on which metric you use (and if you ignore the fact that there are poorer communities in the state that resemble the education outcomes of Mississippi and Texas).
But what was Romney's role in all this?
He inherited an education system that had been trending to the top of national rankings over the previous decade. In 2003, the year he took office, Massachusetts high school seniors were first in SAT scores and among the top three in percentage of students taking the test. The state continued to rank at the top during and after Romney's term.
Massachusetts public schools receive state aid under a law called Chapter 70. The budget ritual begins with the governor setting a number for Chapter 70 distributions. That is usually changed when the legislature's budget committees take over. In his 2004 fiscal year proposal (the state's budget calendar runs from July 1 to June 30) Romney actually budgeted more Chapter 70 money than the legislature settled on. But there is an asterisk that goes with that.
Romney's plan would have robbed Peter to pay Paul, cutting other state aid to municipalities to fund his largess to education. The legislature smoothed the differences by returning some of the education money to the other account.
In subsequent budget years the legislature raised Romney's proposed education funding by amounts ranging from $3 million to $50 million on total Chapter 70 funding of $3 billion annually, according to state records.
Romney gets average marks when it comes to other education issues. His administration launched no major initiatives or reforms. Higher education funding and the state university system's infrastructure languished in his four years as governor -- a time, to be fair, when there was little additional money in the budget.
Romney brags that he didn't raise taxes in Massachusetts even though the state budget faced a $3 billion budget gap when he took office. It is true; he didn't. Instead he proposed, and the legislature accepted, dozens of increases on state fees.
Marriage licenses went from $4 to $50. The cost of registering deeds and mortgages quadrupled ($25 to $100) and driving permits doubled to $30. Romney also proposed raising the firearms registration fee from $25 to $75. Despite howls from gun owners, the legislature joined in and raised the fee to $100 while extending the life of the license from four to six years.
Romney's proposal included a new $10 fee to acquire a state certificate of blindness and $15 for a photo identification card. The legislature removed that provision.
The total revenue raised by Romney and the legislature remains a matter of debate. Romney's campaign says fees rose a total of $240 million in the 2004 fiscal budget; others, including the Cato Institute, put the figure around $500 million.
Another matter in the Romney revenue debate is the $350 million to $375 million he raised annually for three years by closing business tax loopholes. Romney has contended his move was not a tax increase. Massachusetts business organizations had a different opinion at the time. So did his Republican rivals during the brutal primary season.
Romney did benefit from a tax increase - a $1.1 billion tax hike passed by Democrats a year before he took office -- that helped cut the looming deficit.
On the other side of the coin, Romney's claim of 19 tax cuts during his term is a bit too self-generous by definition and scope since a number of "cuts" originated in the legislature. Among them, a one-year delay in a capital gains tax increase enacted before he took office, prescription drug and property tax relief for seniors, tax breaks for commuters and veterans, a business deduction for installing automatic sprinkler systems, extensions of temporary tax breaks and two ritual sales tax holidays for one weekend in August.

Orchard Park, NY (WGR 550) -- The Buffalo Bills and Seattle Seahawks will face off against one another on Sunday in a Week 15 matchup. But before we go through different things to watch for throughout the game, I wanted to use a little bit of this space to remember the victims of what transpired in Newtown, Connecticut on Friday.
Sports are unequivocally trivial when a tragedy like this rocks the nation to its very core. The immense devastation and pain felt by all those affected by the actions of the perpetrator are unfathomable. My heart goes out to every family member, friend, loved one and teacher that have to bear the brunt of the anguish brought on by such a sickening act. The events that transpired on December 14, 2012, and the innocent children as well as others that senselessly had their lives ripped away from them, will never, ever be forgotten. Thank you.
In wake of the tragedy, the NFL will go on as planned this weekend. And like the NFL, this preview must go on as well. On that note, let's take a look at 5 things to watch for:
1) Beast Mode's back
- Since leaving the Buffalo Bills via trade two years ago, Marshawn Lynch has become the stud running back many expected him to be when he was selected in the first round. Lynch has already clinched the best season of his career, rushing for 1,266 yards and nine touchdowns still with three games remaining. It's fair to expect Lynch will be a bit more charged up for the game against his former teammates. The Bills have been much more competent at stopping the run lately, but Lynch and his solid group of blockers in front of him may open up holes that we haven't seen the Bills give up over the course of the past six weeks.
2) Banged up Seahawks secondary
- Heading in to the game, the Seahawks will be without three of their top four cornerbacks. Normal starter Brandon Browner is suspended, while Walter Thurmond and Marcus Trufant have each been ruled out with an injury. That leaves top cornerback Richard Sherman along with Byron Maxwell to be the ones that defend against Stevie Johnson and company. It might induce the Bills to throw a bit more than expected to attempt to exploit that weakness, especially considering they'll be under the controlled atmosphere of the Rogers Centre.
3) The Spiller Show
- When Fred Jackson was placed on season-ending Injured Reserve, C.J. Spiller once again will see his time on the field, as well as total touches, increase over the course of the final three games. Following a conversation between head coach Chan Gailey and Spiller regarding the coach's comments on the running back getting winded, it appears as though the third-year player will get the ball as much as he can handle. It's a tough matchup for Spiller, however. Behind an offensive line that struggled with two new starters last week, this week they'll be going against one of the best defensive lines in all of football. It may not be the week for Spiller to shine.
4) Seahawks DL amongst league's best
- Speaking of that defensive line, they rotate numerous players in dependent on situations within the game. Starting defensive end Red Bryant is very good against the run, as are defensive tackles Alan Branch and Brandon Mebane. Right end Chris Clemons is the most versatile of the group, with rookie Bruce Irvin (8 sacks) and Jason Jones being sprinkled in to rush the passer in key situations. The defense has eye popping numbers. They allow only 15.5 points per game (2nd in NFL) and 301.7 total yards per game (3rd in NFL). It will be a tough task for a struggling Bills' offense to get started against Seattle.
5) Will Toronto be a home game?
- In the fifth year of the Toronto series, the Bills once again surrender a home game in December to the Rogers Centre. Some of the players will tell you it's a home game, others will tell you it's an away game, but they all land on a similar stance: it's way different from Ralph Wilson Stadium. I've been to three of the past four games, and the atmosphere has been stale to say the least. With such a diverse NFL fan base in Toronto, it's hard for either team to gain an advantage based on crowd support. It's a neutral-site contest in every sense of the term. I expect it to be no different on Sunday.

PROBABLE: CB Ron Brooks (hip), TE Scott Chandler (groin), TE Lee Smith (knee), G Kraig Urbik (knee), LB Chris White (thumb), S Da'Norris Searcy (hand), HB C.J. Spiller (shoulder), CB Aaron Williams (knee), DE Mario Williams (wrist)
OUT: CB Walter Thurmond (hamstring), CB Marcus Trufant (hamstring)
PROBABLE: DE Red Bryant (foot), S Kam Chancellor (groin), WR Sidney Rice (foot), HB Marshawn Lynch (back/foot)
Prediction: Seahawks over Bills
- The Bills may have the defense to hold the Seattle offense for a little while, but the Buffalo offense have exhibited little signs of progress coupled with more signs of regression since the onset of the bye week. With such an imposing defensive front going against the Bills, it's hard for me to see them coming away with a victory.

Nuun is amazing stuff - I got through three and a bit tubes (Tri-Berry is my favourite) during the Rapha Rising Challenge. No cramps at any point (I get terrible calf cramps usually)! Superb - everyone should try it!

Agreed; NUUN is great. Haven't had a bad flavour yet and the best part is that they are not sickeningly sweet like so many other hydration products. The ltd. ed. package looks sharp but that's hardly surprising.
