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

Accounting for Human Resources: Implications for Theory and Practice.
Date: December 2001
Creator: Stovall, Olin Scott
Description: Knowledge workers are an important resource for the typical modern business firm, yet financial reporting ignores such resources. Some researchers contend that the accounting profession has stressed reliability in order to make the accounting appear objective. Others concur, noting that accounting is an insecure profession and adopts strict rules when faced with uncertainty. Accountants have promulgated a strict rule to expense human resource costs, although many know that such resources have future benefits. Some researchers suggest that any discipline must modify its language in order to initiate change toward providing useful social ameliorations. If accounting theorists extend this idea to the accounting lexicon.s description of investments in human resources, investors and other accounting user groups might gain greater insight into how a firm fosters and nourishes human capital. I tested three hypotheses related to this issue by administering an experiment designed to assess financial analysts. perceptions about alternative financial statement treatments of human resources in an investment recommendation task. I predicted that (1) analysts' perceptions of the reliability (relevance) of the information they received would decrease (increase) as the treatment of human resources increasingly violated GAAP (became more current-oriented), (2) analysts exposed to alternative accounting treatments would report a lower ...

Age-Dependent Effects Of Chronic GABAA Receptor Blockade In Barrel Cortex
Date: May 2001
Creator: Gargan, Lynn
Description: GABAA receptor binding is transiently increased in rat whisker barrels during the second postnatal week, at a time when neurons in the developing rat cortex are vulnerable to excitotoxic effects. To test whether these GABAA receptors might serve to protect neurons from excessive excitatory input, polymer implants containing the GABAA receptor antagonist bicuculline were placed over barrel cortex for a 4-day period in young (postnatal days 8 - 12) and adult rats. In the cortex of young, but not adult rats, the chronic blockade of GABAA receptors resulted in substantial tissue loss and neuron loss. The greater loss of neurons in young rats supports the hypothesis that a high density of GABAA receptors protects neurons from excessive excitatory input during a sensitive period in development.

Alexander Johnson's Ni' Concerto (1994) - Concerto no. 1 for Piano and Orchestra: a Discussion of Influences from Africa, Eastern and Western Europe
Date: August 2001
Creator: Malan, Petronel
Description: In the new generation of artists emerging in South Africa, Alexander Johnson is considered the most prolific young composer of his day. In a recent review in the Pretoria News, Johnson has been praised by eminent critic Paul Boekkooi as a composer who has "an ear for the exotic and knows exactly how to bring it off...." He continued by noting that his music is "mentally engrossing, pleasurable to the senses and seems refreshingly free from dogmatic formulas." Johnson writes for musicians and the general public to equal satisfaction. His accessible compositions and catching use of melodic materials have made his writings very popular both in South Africa and abroad. During his residency in Belgrade in 1993-94, Johnson met Croatian pianist Dorian Leljak. Impressed with Johnson's compositional ideas and output, Leljak commissioned a work from Johnson for piano and orchestra. The result was the Ni Concerto, which Johnson completed in April 1994. The world premiere took place on June 23, 1994 with the Ni Philharmonic Orchestra conducted by Anatoli Nowiestski with Dorian Leljak as soloist. The Ni Concerto received its South African premiere in 1995 during a simultaneous celebration for "Europe Day" and the new democracy of the Republic of ...

American Choral Music in Late 19th Century New Haven: The Gounod and New Haven Oratorio Societies
Date: May 2001
Creator: Clark, R. Andrew
Description: This study examines two of the smaller American choral societies that together existed for just over 30 years, 1888 to 1919: The Gounod and New Haven Oratorio Societies of New Haven, Connecticut. These societies are important because, especially in the case of the New Haven Society, they were closely related to Yale University and the work of Horatio Parker. One must assume from the onset that the two choral groups examined in the following pages did not have the prominence of the many larger New England choral societies. However a more detailed knowledge about the struggles, successes, influence and leadership of two smaller societies illuminates a field of research in the history of American choral music that has been largely ignored.

An Analysis of Major American Riots: Issues in Riots and Riot Control
Date: August 2001
Creator: Cinoglu, Huseyin
Description: By conducting sound research to understand the concepts surrounding rioting and efficient riot response tactics, professionals, especially whose main job is to ensure the tranquility in the society, will be better prepared to deal with all kinds of civil movements. The purpose of this study, consequently, is to meet the growing need for educational materials in this area and to provide riot response case studies, which demonstrate the numerous administrative challenges faced by law enforcement decision makers. In this study, seven major riots from throughout the United States are discussed including the Hay Market Riot of 1886, the Watts Riot of 1965, and Los Angeles Riots of 1992. Each riot case is studied in five different and independent stages: the setting and pre-disturbance situation, basic causes of the event, the disturbance situation, the response to the riot, and the aftermath of the incident. The study of all of these stages is intended to help police administrators acquire a general perspective on collective violence, and help them prevent future occurrences in their jurisdictions. In this thesis a special reference is given to the deficiencies of American riot policing and some recommendations were formed accordingly. Therefore, the study concludes with a list ...

An Analysis of Sales People's Perceptions of Performance Appraisal Criteria at a Telecommunications Corporation.
Date: December 2001
Creator: Harris, Ellen L.
Description: The purpose of this study was to identify and analyze sales people's perceptions of performance appraisal criteria in a telecommunications corporation. The study was prompted by the perceived disillusionment of the sales people with the current performance appraisal criteria. The perceptions of 67 sales people were assessed using a questionnaire developed by the researcher. One-way analysis of variance procedures (ANOVA) were used to determine if there were statistically significant differences in premise and telemarketing sales people's perceptions of performance appraisal criteria. Findings indicated that there were no statistically significant difference in premise and telemarketing sales people's perceptions of the 38 performance appraisal criteria statements. Findings did not indicate a statistically significant difference in premise and telemarketing sales people's perceptions of the performance criteria statements, the attitude or satisfaction statements, and the peripheral issue statements. Based on this study, the sales people appear to have clear perceptions of the performance appraisal criteria.

An Analysis of Teaching Periodicals for Aging Education Content
Date: May 2001
Creator: Wimsatt, T. Joy
Description: Ninety elementary public school teachers were surveyed to find out where they obtained their teaching ideas. Seven popular elementary-level teaching periodicals, dated 1989-1999, were analyzed for aging-related content, and compared with 27 of the National Academy for Teaching and Learning about Aging (NATLA) aspects of aging recommended for students' learning. Results indicate that public elementary teachers obtain their teaching ideas from various places: teaching institutes or workshops; other teachers; ideas or lessons they develop themselves; and teaching periodicals. A large percentage obtain lesson ideas from teaching periodicals that they browse or read. This finding may assist NATLA in making recommendations to particular editorial boards. Surprisingly, few teachers obtain their teaching ideas from state and local curricular mandates. When the periodical issues were analyzed, aging-related content was categorized in four ways: informational articles with selected teaching or learning activities; articles describing intergenerational programs or activities; book reviews with selected learning activities; and book review titles mentioning older adult characters. Category totals among the 7 periodicals were highest in book review titles mentioning older adult characters and book reviews with selected learning activities. The content was compared to NATLA's recommendations for students' learning. The findings were not significant. The aging aspect that ...

An Analysis of the Effect of Environmental and Systems Complexity on Information Systems Failures
Date: August 2001
Creator: Zhang, Xiaoni
Description: Companies have invested large amounts of money on information systems development. Unfortunately, not all information systems developments are successful. Software project failure is frequent and lamentable. Surveys and statistical analysis results underscore the severity and scope of software project failure. Limited research relates software structure to information systems failures. Systematic study of failure provides insights into the causes of IS failure. More importantly, it contributes to better monitoring and control of projects and enhancing the likelihood of the success of management information systems. The underlining theories and literature that contribute to the construction of theoretical framework come from general systems theory, complexity theory, and failure studies. One hundred COBOL programs from a single company are used in the analysis. The program log clearly documents the date, time, and the reasons for changes to the programs. In this study the relationships among the variables of business requirements change, software complexity, program size and the error rate in each phase of software development life cycle are tested. Interpretations of the hypotheses testing are provided as well. The data shows that analysis error and design error occur more often than programming error. Measurement criteria need to be developed at each stage of the ...

Analysis of the Impact of CACREP Accreditation of Counselor Education Programs on Student Knowledge Outcomes
Date: May 2001
Creator: Scott, Susan W.
Description: The principal investigator (PI) for this study analyzed mean scores on the National Counselor Examination (NCE) of students from CACREP accredited and non- CACREP accredited programs. Data was provided by the National Board of Certified Counselors, Inc., for a total of ten examination administrations across six years. The fourteen variables examined in the study consisted of the eight common-core knowledge domains identified in CACREP standards, the five counselor work behavior areas identified by NBCC via periodic job analysis of counseling practice, and one overall or total score on the NCE. NCE mean scores of students from CACREP accredited programs were higher than NCE mean scores of students from non-CACREP accredited programs on all variables across all ten NCE administrations. Data seem to indicate that students from CACREP accredited programs perform significantly better on the NCE than students from non-CACREP accredited programs, in all fourteen variables. Sample size was large, totaling 9707, so the PI calculated effect sizes using Cohen's d for each variable to aid interpretation of statistical significance. Five variables had large effect sizes of .70 or higher. The higher effect size statistics were associated with the counselor work behavior areas, with the highest effect size (.85) associated with ...

JOHANNESBURG Netherlands should finally be able to show off their true style when they face top ranked Brazil in the World Cup quarter-finals, winger Ryan Babel said on Tuesday after growing criticism back home of dull play.
The Dutch, despite winning all four games they have played in the tournament, have been criticised by fans and media for not showing their usual attacking flair.
Babel said the main focus was winning and the team's lack of flair was more about their opponents than them. This should change in Friday's game against free-scoring Brazil at the Soccer City Stadium in Johannesburg.
"I think it is always difficult to play against teams that don't want to play football, who are waiting for you," Babel said a day after Netherlands beat Slovakia 2-1 in the last 16.
"We play our better games against teams that want to play football as well and, on Friday, Brazil is not going to wait so maybe we can play better than yesterday."
An early strike by winger Arjen Robben, in his first start after injury, set Netherlands on their way and Wesley Sneijder slotted a second before a late consolation goal for Slovakia.
Netherlands topped Group E after wins against Denmark, Japan and Cameroon.
Babel said the team was not paying attention to critics.
"We don't really take any interest in that kind of criticism. At the end when we win the tournament, nobody will talk about the style of football that we have been using."
Coach Bert van Marwijk said five-time champions Brazil would be quick to punish any mistakes "so it's really important to not lose the ball, let's say, in the axis of the field."
Brazil are also unbeaten so far in South Africa, crushing their first knockout round opponent Chile 3-0 on Monday.

According to UFC welterweight champion, Georges St. Pierre, his recovery from ACL surgery is going pretty well. The 30 year old champion is currently aiming for a November return, when the UFC visits Montreal, Canada for UFC 154.
"Even though I'm feeling almost 100% now, I'm just half-way through my rehab and I can't push too much because my graft isn't fused properly," GSP said at a recent press conference. "Even though my muscles feel good, I have to wait until I'm allowed to start training again. … I'll be training full out on July. Hopefully I have a chance to fight in front of my Canadian fans in November. I'll cross my fingers and hope that will happen."
Even though GSP is one of the most dominant champions in UFC history, he has received a lot of criticism over the years. Many fans feel he hasn't been aggressive enough in his fights, failing to finish an opponent in over three years.
The criticism is certainly not unfounded, considering the fact GSP became a lot more conservative after his UFC 69 loss to Matt Serra. However, the tactical change has been very successful inside the Octagon, with GSP winning all of his fights since then.
While I don't particularly enjoy GSP's fighting style, questioning his legacy, simply because he doesn't take unnecessary risks is a little ridiculous.
With six consecutive title defenses, GSP is still the number one welterweight fighter on the planet, and I expect him to reclaim the top spot when he makes his return in November.
GSP is pretty confident he'll be able to do just that, and he's still open to the possibility of a super-fight against Anderson Silva.
"When I get back to my title, depending on what's going on, I might have to take another fight," GSP added. "If everything goes, like stars align and everything, maybe we'll see one day in the near future what is going to happen. Depending if I'm going to go up or if he's going to come down, it's too far away to think about it right now, but it's something that could happen, of course."

Jay Dratler was one of the key screenwriters in the field of film noir -- a successful novelist from New York with an international education, he had a special touch when it came to devising and telling crime-related stories. Jay J. Dratler was born in New York City in 1911 and attended the University of North Carolina during the late '20s and early '30s. His mother was from Austria, and Dratler went to Europe in the early '30s to study at the Sorbonne in France and also in Vienna, where he learned fluent German. His skills with the language were sufficient for him to serve as translator of a German-language scholarly book late in his career. He took up residence in Vienna in the '30s and was very much a part of the café society that existed there before the German invasion of Austria. According to his son, Jay Dratler Jr., when the elder Dratler left Austria, he smuggled out a large amount of currency for a good friend by hiding the money inside a rubber bag suspended in a toilet tank on a moving train. He began writing fiction in 1927, at age 16 -- long before his own life came to entail such variety and exploits -- and saw success in 1936 with the publication of his first novel, Manhattan Side Street.
In 1940, Dratler published a second novel, Ducks in Thunder (later re-titled All for a Woman), and also moved to Hollywood, where he started writing for the screen with the scripts for the zany Hugh Herbert comedy La Conga Nights at Universal and the cautionary crime and delinquency tale Girls Under 21 at Columbia. He wrote the screenplay for Meet Boston Blackie, the first film in Columbia's "Boston Blackie" series, dealing with a criminal-turned-detective (Chester Morris). Although he occasionally worked on musical and comedic subjects, such as Higher and Higher (1943) -- the first feature film in which Frank Sinatra appeared -- and It's in the Bag (1945), and even co-authored a mythologically-inspired script entitled Knights Without Armor (based on Serbian legends, and bought by Columbia) with Gina Kaus, Dratler's real talent was in the writing of thrillers. Beyond programmers such as the early Boston Blackie movies, he was also responsible (with Samuel Hoffenstein, Elizabeth Reinhardt, and Ring Lardner Jr.) for the screenplay of Otto Preminger's Laura (1944), for which he received an Academy Award nomination. He was the screenwriter on The Dark Corner (1946), another piece of classic film noir, and the 1948 thriller Call Northside 777 (both directed by Henry Hathaway). All three of those scripts were done for 20th Century-Fox, where Dratler did his best work. In 1947, he published his third novel,The Pitfall, which was made into a spellbinding film noir by director André de Toth, starring Dick Powell and Lizabeth Scott, the following year. He was also responsible for writing the original story of Impact (1949), another classic crime thriller. Dratler's later Hollywood career was less interesting -- at least from the standpoint of crime movie enthusiasts -- as he was assigned to such projects as writing additional dialogue for Dancing in the Dark, and also wrote the original scenario for the RKO production of The Las Vegas Story (1952).
During the mid-'50s, Dratler concentrated more on writing for publication, including the novel The Judas Kiss (1955). His last theatrical film credit was the screenplay for the Werner Von Braun biographical film I Aim at the Stars (1959). He also wrote for television, including a pair of 1961 episodes of Naked City: "The Well-Dressed Termite," a story about murderous business partners starring Jack Klugman, and "The Deadly Guinea Pig," a tale of ex-Nazis starring Viveca Lindfors. His later theatrical works included The Women of Troy, which was successfully produced on the stage, and A Grape for Seeing, the latter about a South American revolutionary who is castrated by right-wing troops. Late in his life, Dratler began studying Spanish and became fluent in the l

"Bring clarity and strategy to your life!"
Anthony Robbins is the authority on "Life Mastery". I recently bought the newly revised copy of Awaken the Giant Within which made me hesitant to buy this audiobook.
But Anthony cuts through all the extra, unneeded content within the audio book and gets straight to the point. I still have the hard copy for reference which is great.
I highly recommend this book for someone who wants to be able to formulate and articulate the things they do in life an why they do them. Anthony gives unbelievable strategy for accomplishing everything you could ever want.
"You can, if you must!"
Empowering material from the great Tony Robbins. no fluff but instead specific strategies for the achievement of one's major life goals!
"Great message "
presented through a mediocre monologue. After a short 90minutes I feel gipped. No question will that I'll opt for a hard copy in the future.
"Good book, but hard to listen via audiobook."
Abridged book so I felt that I wasn't getting the full material packed into an hour. Also required critical thinking and a bit of note taking, so I feel this would be an experience better left to an actual book.
"Ends unexpectedly"
Amazing bool untill it leaves you hanging and says nothing on how to implement the goals, still good read though.
Like many of you probably, Audible has become my best friend. I'm a huge fan of paranormal fantasies and mysteries.
"Not that good to be honest."
Not, bad. But not so good either. To be honest, I was sort of dissapointed. It was an abriged audio so it was not very organized.
"Anthony at his best"
This audiobook is short and swet. Tony gets straight to the point with helpfull tips and an outline for changing your behaviors. I think there should be more of his boks on audible.
"Does not worth it at all"
It did not attract my attention and it is boring to listing to someone who talks about himself for 20 minutes. I simply stopped listening
The first 20 minutes he was talking about himself and how great he was. That was 20% of the whole audible book. I was so disappointed that stopped listening
By just talking about himself
It is only 100 minutes and thinking of cutting part of it. For sure the 15 minutes of first 20 minutes can be cut with no effect on the content.
Also, the funny inspirational sentences that is read by a voice of a woman in between. It is distracting. It feels like using a soft female voice to cover the weakness of the audible book. Like people who cant sing but bring pretty dancers to have a good show!!!
I have listened to about 10 audible books and this has been the most useless and aggravating one so far. It supposed to be motivational and make me feel better but I am mad now
"Not much meat"
This is rah-rah, with little substance.

WASHINGTON (AP) – A top White House aide says it's possible that Russia could invade eastern Ukraine, and even U.S. military assistance would be unlikely to prevent it.
Deputy national security adviser Tony Blinken says Russia seems to be trying intimidate Ukrainians by massing thousands of troops along the border.
But Blinken also tells CNN's "State of the Union" that "it's possible they are preparing to move in."
He says the U.S. is looking at providing military assistance to Ukraine. But he also says "it's very unlikely to change Russia's calculus and prevent an invasion."
Russia's defense chief has told Defense Secretary Chuck Hagel that Russia had no intention of crossing into Ukrainian territory.
Blinken says economic penalties are working to isolate Russia.

HUNTSVILLE – A hauntingly beautiful sound ripples through the early morning...
Next week will bring an early summer in six Canadian NHL cities when the playoffs begin without the Vancouver Canucks, Toronto Maple Leafs, Ottawa Senators, Edmonton Oilers, Winnipeg Jets and Calgary Flames.
For the first time since 1973, there is just one Canadian team in the post-season. The Montreal Canadiens - also the lone team 41 years ago - represent the nation's only hope of ending a 21-year Stanley Cup drought, and that's a long shot.
Across the rest of the country, disappointment reigns. Going into the season, it was possible six of seven teams would make the playoffs, but those expectations faded quickly.
"It's not fun, for sure," said Calgary Flames forward Mike Cammalleri, a native of Richmond Hill, Ont., who spent parts of three seasons with the Habs. "The players on the team, I can tell you for sure feel it. It weighs a lot on you, no doubt. That's part of also what makes it so special to play in a Canadian market. When it goes the other way, there's no more rewarding feeling."
Playoff hopes slipped away at different times during the 2013-2014 season for Vancouver, Toronto, Ottawa, Edmonton, Winnipeg and Calgary - culminating Tuesday night when the Leafs were the final team eliminated.
Change has already come for some clubs and more is on the way in other cities. Flames general manager Jay Feaster, Canucks GM Mike Gillis and Jets coach Claude Noel have already lost their jobs as part of this lost season.
And already Vancouver hired Trevor Linden and Toronto hired Brendan Shanahan to oversee what comes next.
So how did it all go so wrong?
When it seemed possible: Never
When hope was extinguished: Before opening night
No expectations were placed on the Flames in a hard-core rebuilding year. Maybe some came with the September hiring of Brian Burke as president of hockey operations, but a 6-11-3 start stamped those out.
Burke fired Feaster in November but didn't change course very much. The Flames have had 10 players make their NHL debut this season, as coach Bob Hartley was tasked with instilling a work ethic in a young team.
"I had challenged the players at training camp like we wanted to become the hardest-working team," Hartley said. "For me, as an organization if we want to grow young players, we have to grow them playing the right way, working out the right way."
Calgary was officially eliminated from playoff contention March 30, but this was a year to build for the future around players like Calder Trophy candidate Sean Monahan. To forward Matt Stajan, that doesn't make missing the playoffs any easier.
"You don't make playoffs, you're not satisfied," Stajan said. "That's what you play for. I think you can look at the progression of the team from a slow start and we've kind of gradually gotten better and better as the year's gone on, but when you don't make it, you're still disappointed and you don't go into the summer feeling good about yourself."
When it seemed possible: Pre-season
When hope was extinguished: Nov. 15 with a 4-15-2 record
So much young talent plus popular coaching hire Dallas Eakins was supposed to equal Edmonton's first playoff appearance since reaching the Cup final in 2006. Since then, they've drafted Sam Gagner, Jordan Eberle, Taylor Hall, Ryan Nugent-Hopkins and Nail Yakupov in the first round, but that core hasn't been able to put it together.
Four wins in their first 21 games solidified that this wasn't going to be the Oilers' year, even though GM Craig MacTavish said in early November that "as bad as our record is, I see plenty of progress and maybe more important plenty of potential in this hockey club."
That potential will have to wait for next season, when goaltenders Ben Scrivens and Viktor Fasth — both acquired in trades this season — could get a chance to succeed where Devan Dubnyk and others have failed.
More defensive changes are certainly needed, too, for an Oilers team that gave up the most goals per game in the NHL. Trading for defensive-minded forward Matt Hendricks is one step toward that, but MacTavish's off-season is likely to include a necessary overhaul on the blue line.
When it seemed possible: Dec. 30, at 23-11-6 and in West's first wild-card spot
When hope was extinguished: March 10 following 7-4 loss to Islanders
All seemed well with the Canucks at the start of 2014, perennial contenders who came one win from capturing the Stanley Cup just two seasons ago. Daniel and Henrik Sedin had new four-year contract extensions, and a 10-1-2 December had Vancouver in playoff position.
Then the bottom fell out. Seven losses in eight games to start January brought signs of trouble, and then coach John Tortorella's infamous attempt to enter the Flames' locker-room Jan. 18 after a brawl made things worse.
In March, Gillis blamed injuries and the locker-room incident for the Canucks' free fall that also included trading Roberto Luongo to the Florida Panthers less than a year after sending Cory Schneider to the New Jersey Devils.
Blowing a three-goal lead and giving up seven third-period goals at home to the New York Islanders on March 10 dropped the Canucks to four points out of a playoff spot and seemed to represent the death knell.
When it seemed possible: March 1, two points out of playoff spot
When hope was extinguished: March 14, following a six-game losing streak
The Jets' third season in Winnipeg brought optimism. As the season turned sour, there were plenty of reminders that these were the lowly Atlanta Thrashers not too long ago.
"It's been a difficult year, where we are, where we've come from, everything we've been through," winger Blake Wheeler said. "It's been a challenging year for everyone."
Winnipeg was 19-23-5 when GM Kevin Cheveldayoff pulled the plug and fired Noel and assistant coach Perry Pearn. The Jets went 11-3-1 in their first 15 games under new coach Paul Maurice to make a run, but a six-game skid in a thorny Western Conference spelled the end.
Like Hartley in Calgary, Maurice has tried to create a winning culture in Winnipeg. Players seem to be buying in.
Given the struggles of Ondrej Pavelec, the Jets could be looking to upgrade in goal this summer. Trading the talented Evander Kane would also be one way to fill some other holes up and down the roster.
When it seemed possible: Jan. 30, one point out of a playoff spot
When hope was extinguished: March 22, following a six-game losing streak
The post-Daniel Alfredsson era in Ottawa got off to a rocky start. Something was off beyond just subpar goaltending that contributed to a 14-17-7 start.
"You are what you are," Jack Adams Award-winning coach Paul MacLean said in December after loss No. 17 of the season. "We need wins. You end up being what you are."
The Senators, very briefly, looked like playoff contenders at the Olympic break when they were one point back of the Eastern Conference's second wild-card spot. Then came a 2-7-2 run that meant no playoff hockey in Ottawa for the third time in five years.
"If you don't feel you have any puck luck, then you're not working hard enough on a day-to-day basis,'' MacLean told reporters in Dallas after a March 22 loss to the Stars. "You shouldn't expect a break or something to go your way unless you're out there doing the work.''
Winger Bobby Ryan, acquired via trade the same day Alfredsson left to sign with the Red Wings, played much of the season in pain before finally having sports hernia surgery recently. Ryan still finished with 23 goals and 25 assists and said he'd like to sign an extension to remain in Ottawa.
In addition to a healthy Ryan, the Senators hope to get better goaltending from Craig Anderson (in a contract year) and Robin Lehner in what will be Bryan Murray's penultimate season as GM.
When it seemed possible: March 13, after win over Kings had them second in Atlantic Division
When hope was extinguished: March 29, after eighth straight regulation loss
The Leafs went into, and came out of, the Olympic break so hot (9-3-2) that even some early-season problems that were masked by victories looked like they were in the past. Goaltender Jonathan Bernier was on his way to being a Vezina Trophy candidate, and Phil Kessel was on his way to getting some Hart Trophy votes, too.
Bernier's groin injury March 13 changed everything. Backup James Reimer couldn't make up for mistakes in front of him, and coach Randy Carlyle's assessment of his "OK, just OK" play March 19 in Detroit seemed to only further hurt his confidence.
Even Bernier's return couldn't stop the bleeding for the Leafs but it was only after losing to the Detroit Red Wings on March 29 that players seem resigned to missing the playoffs.
"It's tough to stay positive right now," winger Joffrey Lupul said that night. "This was as close to a do-or-die as you can get. But obviously we're not going to throw out hope until it's mathematically set in stone. But we pretty much had to have this game."
Two wins that followed gave the Leafs the slightest bit of a chance, but a knee injury to Bernier and then a loss to the Jets last week paved the way for their official elimination Tuesday.
Unlike the Canucks, the Leafs didn't go fire-crazy immediately. Instead, Maple Leaf Sports & Entertainment's Tim Leiweke hired Shanahan as president.
That could be the first of many changes for a team that had more than playoff expectations after pushing the Boston Bruins to the brink.

Peter Oborne, The Daily Telegraph "This is a book for our times..." The Spectator "Can we intervene in foreign countries and do good?...Rory Stewart and Gerald Knaus are well placed to pose and answer these questions."

The combined effect is pessimistic, without actually ruling out further interventions." Gideon Rachman, The Financial Times, non-fiction favourites of 2011 "Rory Stewart MP and his co-author ask when it is right to intervene in another country and why it can all go disastrously wrong." The Sunday Times "A fresh and critically important perspective on foreign interventions."

The prose is elegant, the approaches balanced, and the end notes a reader's delight. In one relatively short book (the two timelines alone speak volumes), we learn the pros and cons of two specific interventions, as well as lessons from others. The authors home in on what has worked and why, and what has not worked; and, why we have persisted in cases of failure.
First up is Stewart, who had me at page one of "The Places in Between," his remarkable account of his 2001-2002 walk across Afghanistan; who solidified his standing even more with "The Prince of the Marshes," recounting his year as a Deputy Governor of the occupational government in Iraq. This incredibly talented individual is now a Member of Parliament. The book is the culmination of a year-long course he and Knaus taught recently at the Kennedy School of Government.
Stewart's answer to the title's question is: yes, but only if the intervention is rooted in "practical wisdom" of the particular area's history, geography, and anthropology. He uses Afghanistan as a textbook example of a total failure by leadership to recognize and take cognizance of Afghan realities. Stewart, rather, through his own first-hand experiences, shows why a thoroughly-informed local understanding is preferable. There is "no substitute for experience"-- and for intervention to work, such local wisdom must displace the "theoretical knowledge" that premises too many interventions. Practical wisdom also, Stewart writes, is imperative to counter-balance the understandable "limitations and manias of the West" likely to be raised against most-nearly any intervention. And, where even practical wisdom does not provide enough knowledge to be successful, a major power or coalition must be willing to acknowledge and act on a new article of faith, i.e., that failure is an option.
A wonderful analogy is Stewart's belief that intervention should be taught the way mountain rescue is taught. Can you actually do any good, under the best assessment of real-cliff circumstances? If so, go in, but only with the right gear and a good guide. If you cannot do any good in the best exercise of current practical wisdom, do not go. There is "no moral obligation to do what we cannot do."
Gerald Knaus follows Stewart and presents the 1990's intervention in Bosnia-Herzegovina as a textbook example of successsful intervention. As he so skillfully recounts, the "astonishing success" was not so much the result of a grand design as much as it was a winning muddle. Knaus, consequently, answers the title question: "Yes, because it did."
Like Stewart, Knaus enormously benefited from journalistic, humanitarian and governmental experience in Bosnia; he has "practical wisdom" of the area. He had high rank in the one year Office of the High Representative (the entity set up to keep the peace after the Dayton Accord), and more recently has been Director of the European Study Initiative. Knaus writes lucidly and, like Stewart, without any condescending tone. Like Stewart, he has some great inside stories to tell (although nothing quite so spirited as the tale of Stewart, in his boxers, taking "what should we do now?" phone calls from Richard Holbrooke).
I skeptically thought Knaus had the easier case to make, but I'd forgotten until reading his account just how controversial and muddled the Bosnia intervention was. The Soviet Union had crumbled; Balkan wars broke out leading to a horrific genocidal campaign by Bosnian Serb forces, which controlled 70 percent of the area. More than 1,000,000 people fled or were displaced and 100,000 were killed.
The world was aghast but paralyzed. Certainly the sane forces needed to help bring an end to the mass atrocity crimes. The Bosnian government was trying; but, an arms embargo, among other things, hindered its efforts. Ultimately, a changing campaign of intimate but forceful diplomatic efforts (along with lifting the embargo and limited air strikes under Clinton), brought an accord, which itself exceeded all hopes for a renewed and thriving country.
From this, Knaus posits a new theory for successful intervention: "principled incrementalism...muddling through with a sense of purpose." It stands in stark contrast to the theory favored by some other administrations--"The Planning School"--whereby the RAND Corporation, believe it or not, has published abstract playbooks and quantified how-to steps for interventions, as if a cookie-cutter were appropriate.
But perhaps Knaus did have the easier case. In Bosnia all had a clear guiding "sense of purpose"--putting a stop to genocide. No coherent sense of purpose seems to have been articulated and conveyed for Afghanistan. Stewart and Knaus, together, illustrate that if a major power can't acquire the practical wisdom to declare a strong sense of purpose for an intervention, it should pass.
As I finished, the dictator of Libya is on the edge of being over-thrown, by rebels supported by a NATO coalition. President Obama expressed from the start an unwillingness to have the U.S. get too involved, although we participate and support the NATO forces. In so doing, it appears that this time he and his advisers have learned some of the excellent teachings of Stewart and Knaus. If their book is not already on his nightshelf, it should be soon, and on those of many others!
The arguments presented in the book are not about the cons of intervention, although from the breadth of the critique one might get the impression they are. Rather, the authors examine two interventionism theories purporting to offer a universal success formula for intervention: The planning school which dominates the U.S. approach and is most notably advocated by the RAND Corporation and its "Beginner's Guide to Nation Building", and the liberal imperialist school promoted by Paddy Ashdown, the High Representative in Bosnia. Both theories set impossibly high standards, e.g. "failure is not an option, any price is worth paying", and are ignorant of the fluid nature of local conditions and the complex interplay of politics among various host factions and their neighbors. In what they introduce as "principled incrementalism", or "passionate moderation", the authors set out to prove intervention is not conducive to a one size fits all, grand theory scientific approach. Every country and its circumstances are different, and much preplanning, planning while executing and local knowledge is required and often ignored, and the local players who are also often ignored can play an important role in overcoming obstacles.
Roughly 1 out of 4 military interventions have met with success since the early 1800's, and the authors are wise to point out done the right way, there is a chance future interventions can achieve sustainable success as well, but let's not be obsessed with cookie cutter democracies with "abstract theories of governance, development and state building."
My ongoing interest in our Middle East efforts had drawn me back to Stewart's up front perspectives once again. His personal experiences in the Balkans, Afghanistan, Iran and Iraq have enabled his spot-on understanding and his blunt communication of what he sees. Are our leaders so blind? His assessment of the systemic problems existing within today's international policy process should not be ignored any longer. His is a unique and all encompassing look. Our policy of Fear must be abandoned.
The historian in Stewart draws upon our past failures in Vietnam and includes reminders of the British experiences in Afghanistan in the 1800s and in Iraq in the 1900s. Some of his descriptions include the actions of an assortment of the leaders involved [in their own words] along with the discussions of key figures like Holbrook and Petraeus. His summary of Military Optimism [pp. 50-57] is classic and should help to drive home how surreal the problem is and how difficult it is to define and qualify even in the words of the policymakers. His is a voice of uncommon reason that deserves your full attention.
Bob Magnant is the author of 'The Last Transition...', a fact-based novel about politics, the Internet and US policy in the Middle East...
His essay is basically about the experience in Afghanistan, arguing that the devil is in the detail and he paints a frightening picture of how the US dominated mission have a standardised view of how to `fix' any country, the local details being more or less insignificant. Their health and safety procedures are so all-pervasive that most visitors and even some people who work in Afghanistan never leave the bases.
Stewart contrasts this with the way things were done in the nineteenth century, but it was actually only in the nineteen eighties - when so much changed - that the CIA started to dismantle their network of old-fashioned `spies' and started worrying about political correctness instead.
The other essay I found less interesting and actually difficult to penetrate, but it left me thinking that the fundamental difference between say the intervention in Bosnia, which Stewart and Knaus support, and the one in Afghanistan which they don't, comes down to the character of the chief instigator and the underlying intention.
Whether we like it or not most politicians are careerists, and they follow their leader. A new leader with a new philosophy therefore automatically creates a climate change.
The intervention in Bosnia was a peace-keeping mission, not an exercise in empire building, which in truth was what was going on in Iraq and fundamentally in Afghanistan. The words are one thing, and in Clinton's case there was some relationship between the words and the truth. This did not apply to Iraq and Afghanistan where the intention if not the propaganda was to impose the will of the USA on Asia for the foreseeable future.
The change in philosophy explains a lot of the mistakes which were made.
This is a thought provoking book, which as the other reviewer says may not be read by many people. Most people seem to think either that all interventions are bad or that all interventions are good.

Fig. 3 is a section on the line 3-3 of Fig. 2;
Fig. 4 is an enlarged fragmentary view of my lock-casing; frame and the adjustable hook;
Fig. 5 is a section on the line 5 5 of Fig. 4, looking in the direction of the arrows;
Fig. 6 is an enlarged fragmentary View of the lock casing and locking member in locked position, the parts being removed from the cushion;
Fig. l is a View similar to Fig. 6 showing the lock casing with the locking member in released position;
Fig. 8 is a cross-section on the line 8-8 of Fig. 6; and
FigI 9 is a modified form of seat cushion in which the back is omitted.
Rferiflng' oW' to thse? di'vigs, the device comprises"A a seat member I'. and a back member '2' adapted te be unfoised. interne-"positron Shown 1- Iand* 35.-- Tlr held in erected positiomerely by t liicklof' the user' and the parts' and are coifiected t'gth at"- 3" by' a flexible hinge composed or the' :hat 1. or the container' 3 whichv preferably' is fd d oi an envelope ot a tough neitible plasticeiabric material that will hel feadkily c-'ltisable and completely eneios'es effectively' contains a cushion'. ef sponge rubber The container 3' is provided With a frame 4 shown in plan in Fig. 2 and this frame' 4'- si bntf to extendv periii'i'etrically around the border ofthe cushion andto' provide an integral rear anchor or hooki lle'.z 'Ehe frame' t is, in itself, fittedwithin thel container and' isi adaptedto anchor hold the flexibleA container in extended position and tot stiften' the device aswell as to provide a supportv for thef spoi'ige',l rubber pad'A so as* to assist holding the same place within the container. Supported by the frame il at the middle portion of the front part of the seat cushion is a lock 5 connected to the frame by suitable joints 5a and 5b. The lock casing is a sleeve-like member 5C having at the top edge a series of perforations 6a and adapted to receive the slidable shank portion 'Ia of a hook l which forms the hasp of the lock. Said shank la is provided With a nat spring 8 having a pawl 3a adapted automatically to slip inwardly and click over one or more of the holes iiiL but to prevent outward withdrawal until released by a key s.
To release the hook 1, the key 9 is merely inserted between the top plate 5a of the sleevelike member 5 and the shank la of the extensible hook 1. This insertion depresses the latch Se so as to permit the outward movement or withdrawal from the sleeve-like lock member 5 of the shank 'la of the hook 1. A very simple extension and locking movement of the member l is thus provided. As the lock-casing Faa is supported by the frame 4 and as the frame nts within the container 3 tightly and snugly, the entire seat cushion is securely locked in place on the seat or bench B.
Obviously, the user of the cushion has no control of the locking mechanism and the seat cushion is, in itself, a rigid though light article with an elastic upper seating surface and is so firmly attached to the bench or seat that the lock 5 which is entirely enclosed and `concealed Within the flexible container 3 and is supported by the rigid frame also concealed therein, that it will be impossible, without destruction of the container, for the userto* remove the seat cushion when locked to a seat S. Furthermore, the back part of the seat cushion frame is rmly connected by an integral connection to the seat portion and, consequently, ycannot without destruction, as aforesaid, be detached. When a game or other attraction in a stadium or the like is nished, an attendant goes around with a key and unlocks the seat cushions from the benches and takes them to a suitable repository. In devices of this kind it is important to have a secure and readilyoperable lock which is preferably concealed and under the control only of the attendants who have a key preferably of a special or large type, and it is also important that the locking mechanism be inaccessible so that it cannot be operated without said key.
Seat cushions of the type specied are capable of being manufactured at a low predetermined cost and, when the container is made of the plastic fabric hereinabove referred to, all the edges may be sealed around the cushion in a single electrical-sealing operation which securely fastens and effectively seals the outer edges of the said fabric together in tightened condition about the cushion R and frame 3, leaving only small holes or apertures for the entrance into the container of the two hooks 4a and 1, and also completely eliminating sewing and like costs.
In Fig. 9 I have shown a slight modication in which the back member 2 has been omitted. It is otherwise identical to 4the' seat member of Figs. l to 8.
Having described my invention, I claim:
1. A detachable seat cushion comprising, in combination, a cushioma rigid perimetrc frame surrounding the border of said cushion, a iixed hook connected with said rigid frame at one end thereof, a lock-casing supported by and xedly connected with the opposite end of said frame, an adjustable hook slidable within said lock-casing to permit locking and releasing of said frame to a seat, and a, ilexible container concealing said cushion, the rigid frame and container having restricted apertures for the projection therethrough of a portion of said fixed hook and for the movement therethrough of a portion of said movable hook, said concealed lock-casing comprising a tubular member having perforations and said adjustable hook having an integral shank portion provided with a spring-urged locking-member adapted to engage and lock Within said perforations, and said spring-urged locking member being releasable from said perforations to permit move ment of the adjustable hook and to enable removal of the seat cushion from the seat.
2. A detachable Seat cushion as claimed in claim 1 in which the said spring-urged locking member comprises a flat spring mounted in normally raised position upon one surface of the shank of the adjustable hook and adapted upon sliding movement within the lock-casing to engage within one 0f the perforations of said tubular lock-casing, said spring-urged locking member being releasable by a member adapted to slide between the lock-casing and the shank and in a wedging action to depress the spring to permit extension or release of the adjustable hook from the lock casing.

Two sailors rescued after collision with tanker in Cowes Week + Video
by Jasper Copping, Telegraph UK on 8 Aug 2011
A racing vessel collides with the 124,000-ton Hanne Knutsen Cowes Week - 7 August 2011 . ..
Two sailors had to be rescued from the water at Cowes Week sailing regatta after their yacht collided with an oil tanker,
Jason Copping reports in the Telegraph, UK:
The first day of racing in Cowes Week was disrupted on Saturday when the 124,000-ton Hanne Knutsen encountered a fleet of yachts.
One of the racing vessels, Atalanta, was in collision with the 870ft-long Norwegian-owned tanker as it proceeded to the oil refinery at Fawley, near Southampton.
The yacht, which normally has nine crew members on board, became entangled in the larger vessel's anchor and had its sails torn off and mast snapped.
The force of the collision sent two of its crew overboard. They were picked up by a rescue boat and a coastguard patrol boat from Southampton.
One crew member was taken to St Mary's Hospital on the Isle of Wight and treated for a head injury. Organisers said the regatta would continue as normal.

COLLEGE STATION – Sarah Beth Davis of Victoria, Texas, and Chloe Garner of Somerset West, South Africa, have signed national letters-of-intent to play college golf at Texas A&M, Coach Trelle McCombs said Monday.
Davis, a senior at St. Joseph High School, is the top-ranked senior in Texas. She is a third-generation Aggie who has posted nine top-10 finishes in American Junior Golf Association (AJGA) events. Davis won a qualifier for the 2008 U.S. Junior Girls Championship and advanced to the second round in match play.
"We are very excited about Sarah Beth joining our team," McCombs said. "She has been an Aggie all her life -- I tease her about having maroon hair when she was born. Sarah Beth is the state's top-ranked player in the class of 2009 and we feel very fortunate to have such a talented player. She will be a great asset and someone I look forward to coaching and developing throughout her career."
Garner attends Somerset College (High School) and won the 2008 Gauteng North Junior Open Championship. She also placed 16th at the 2007 South African National Amateur Championship and made the cut in a professional women's tournament on the South Africa tour.
Garner finished third at the 2007 South African National Under-17 Championship and was sixth at the Under-18 Championship.
"We first learned about Chloe through a former player, Anna Becker-Frankil," McCombs said. "Anna has had nothing but wonderful things to say about Chloe from the type of person she is to the competitive spirit that she holds. I'm excited to see just what she can do over here in the states and how much we can learn about her culture and where she comes from."

Voucher Guarantee
Getting more bang for your buck
Good news:
GrabOne's Voucher Guarantee means missing out on claiming your deal in time no longer means losing out altogether!
How does it work?
- A voucher is valid up to and including the expiry date stated.
- If you don't use your voucher before that date for whatever reason, it can still be used towards that service with that business for an additional 30 days.
For example, if you buy a bungy jump deal but don't use it before the expiry date, you can still use the amount you paid for the voucher towards a bungy jump, for another 30 days.
A few things to note:
- The GrabOne Voucher Guarantee does not apply to product deals, travel and accommodation-related deals, or time-dependent event deals.
- It's always best to use your voucher before the expiry date, so you get the most value for your money. And if you're a bit forgetful, we now automatically remind you if your vouchers are about to expire.
- During the extended Voucher Guarantee period, your voucher can only be put towards the service stated on the voucher.
- If the offer is seasonal, like a seasonal menu or chimney sweep service, the Voucher Guarantee can be put towards a similar offer at the merchant's discretion.
- The conditions on your voucher still apply during the Voucher Guarantee period.

Hey all! I haven't asked a question in a while, as I've been trying my hardest to figure things out on my own, but I've got three things I can't find info on. Any help would be greatly appreciated. I'll go in order of difficulty (as I, in my ignorance, see it).
1. I'm looking for a way to allow folks to upload content from one of my pages, not via the admin interface. A way to allow multiple uploads via this interface would be preferred. I found this AJAX solution here, but it does not seem to be a plugin, and I am clueless on how to incorporate it. Any ideas?
2. Is it possible to put a login and password window in the sidebar, thereby negating the need to go the login page? 2-b. Is it possible to send people right back to the main page after logging in? The people that would need to admin could go to the admin page directly, but I'd prefer anyone else to simply return to the page after logging in.
3. This might be an impossible pipe dream, but can you set WP up to change the theme based on the user level? Or, barring that, can the theme change for logged-in vs. non logged-in users? I'd really like to do this.
Thanks in advance. I've looked these questions up in the forums and on google and found no answer, so if they have come up before, than I apologize.
