Dixon, Megan Lori, 1969- (University of Oregon, December , 2008)[more][less]Dixon, Megan Lori, 1969- 2009-05-18T21:50:06Z 2009-05-18T21:50:06Z 2008-12 http://hdl.handle.net/1794/9172 xvi, 330 p. : ill.

This dissertation focuses on an urban development project outside St. Petersburg, Russia, called the Baltic Pearl. Financed by a consortium of firms based in Shanghai, China, the Baltic Pearl signals several changes in contemporary Russia. At the scale of the region and the nation-state, the project reflects growing political cooperation between the Russian and Chinese governments; it also parallels an increase in economic partnership, including use of Chinese labor. However, social processes at the scale of the city may militate against the success of this project. City residents fearful of rumored Chinese migration feel alarm over the Baltic Pearl because they associate it with narratives of Chinatowns inhabited by labor migrants; other residents already resentful of being left behind in the economic transformation associate the project with the city administration's neglect of their needs. Thus, closer examination of the Baltic Pearl offers the opportunity to gauge commonalities in the causes behind xenophobia and claims of dispossession. Using a theoretical approach based on both humanist and critical geography, I develop an original reading of Henri Lefebvre's The Production of Space to which I give the term socio-spatial paradigm. This concept allows me to conduct an analysis of spatialities in statements of the vision and purpose of the Baltic Pearl made by various individuals and groups. I consider the negotiation over the project's form between Chinese and Russian officials, planners, and architects; local protest and support for the quarter as articulated in newspaper articles, blogs, a survey, and interviews; and individual narratives of spatial form in the city as recounted in a survey and interviews. The aim of the different analyses is to evaluate the capacity of St. Petersburg to adapt to global pressures related to economic restructuring and migration streams, and to become a truly "world city" in terms of cultural multiplicity as well as financial capacity. The conclusion discusses the commensurability of information gained at different scales, from interview narratives to government statements. The study asserts the need to develop better models for incorporating information gained at finer scales into our evaluation of state-to-state relations. Advisers: Dr. Alexander B.

Behavioral and neurological studies in tactile map reading and training by persons who are blind or visually impairedLawrence, Megan McNally, 1977- (University of Oregon, June , 2011)[more][less]Lawrence, Megan McNally, 1977- 2011-09-23T21:16:39Z 2011-09-23T21:16:39Z 2011-06 http://hdl.handle.net/1794/11564 xiii, 103 p. : ill. (some col.) This research investigates the relationship between map use tasks, spatial abilities and training-based effects in persons who are blind or visually impaired. A mixed-method approach using theories and methods in behavioral geography, tactile cartography and functional magnetic resonance imaging have produced finds that identify both behaviorally-based as well as biologically-based impacts resulting from systematic tactile map use and spatial thinking training. The neurological results indicate that prior to training a dominant egocentric/route strategy is used to answer all experimental map tasks, while after training an allocentric/survey strategy is used. The current study demonstrates that the adoption of an allocentric perspective is coupled with improved behavioral performance. The findings provide supporting evidence that people who are blind are capable of learning and applying sophisticated spatial strategies. The systematic progression from egocentric/route processing to allocentric/survey processing in the participant population follows traditional developmental models of spatial knowledge.

Because of the personal, social, economic, and environmental impacts of material consumption, resistance is afoot. The creation of new places is a tool used by those resisting the negative aspects of consumer culture. One example is the ecovillage: an intentional community whose members strive to live in a socially and environmentally sustainable manner, to practice voluntary simplicity, and to cultivate meaning, life satisfaction, and fulfillment. This research involves a case study of EcoVillage at Ithaca, located in New York, the goal of which is to create a model of sustainable living that is appealing to mainstream America, reduce the ecological footprint of inhabitants and increase meaningful relationships within the community. Through its educational mission and accompanying outreach, EcoVillage at Ithaca models an alternative to middle-class, mainstream American culture. EcoVillage at Ithaca's impact beyond the lives of the individual residents demonstrates its effectiveness as a space of resistance to consumer society.

Since 1975, the Spanish autonomous region of Catalonia has been renegotiating its political and cultural place within Spain. The designation and promotion of places within Catalonia as World Heritage Sites-a matter over which regional authorities have competency-provides insights into the national and territorial ideas that have emerged in recent decades. This study of the selection and portrayal of World Heritage sites by Turisme de Cata1unya shows that the sites reflect a view of the region as 1) home to a distinct cultural group, 2) a place with an ancient past, and 3) a place with a history of territorial autonomy. These characteristics suggest that even though many Catalan regionalists seek a novel territorial status that is neither independent of nor subservient to the Spanish state, the dominant territorial norms of the modem state system continue to be at the heart of the Catalan nation-building project.

The amplified effects of climate change in the Arctic are well known and, according to many commentators, endanger Inuit cultural integrity. However, the specific connections between climate change and cultural change are understudied. This thesis explores the relationship between climatic shifts and culture in the Inuit community of Salluit, Quebec, Canada. Although residents of Salluit are acutely aware of climate change in their region and have developed causal explanations for the phenomenon, most Salluit residents do not characterize climate change as a threat to Inuit culture. Instead, they highlight the damaging impacts of globalization and internal colonialism as a more serious problem. This counter-narrative suggests that focusing narrowly on climate change can obscure the broader and more immediate challenges facing Inuit communities. Such a realization demonstrates the need for researchers to locate climate change within a matrix of non-climatic challenges in order to mitigate threats to indigenous cultures.

As interest in pedestrian-oriented studies continues to grow, there is danger that dominant discourses will continue to reinforce the framing of pedestrians and the practices of walking as slower moving versions of the private automobile and ignore deeply embedded emotional, personal, and cognitive aspects. As such, understandings of pedestrian transportation and human agency during walking must be explored in increasingly human-centered terms in order to understand how changes to the material environment actually impact people and daily practices. The purpose of this dissertation is to give considerably more attention to the human elements of walking by creating a set of new theoretical and practical frameworks for deeper representations of the pedestrian in the urban space and within a larger transportation system. The three articles presented in this dissertation outline an alternative, human-centered representation of the pedestrian, providing theoretical, methodological, and practical solutions to conceptualize how soft variables such as emotion, motivation, and especially cognition influence the practices of walking. en_US University of Oregon All Rights Reserved.

The Columbia River's region: Politics, place and environment in the Pacific Northwest, 1933--presentVogel, Eve, 1964- (University of Oregon, December , 2007)[more][less]Vogel, Eve, 1964- 2008-05-16T18:40:06Z 2008-05-16T18:40:06Z 2007-12 http://hdl.handle.net/1794/6280 xiv, 296 p. : ill. A print copy of this title is available through the UO Libraries under the call numbers: KNIGHT F853 .V64 2007 This dissertation argues that Columbia River management and politics have been shaped ever since the New Deal by a conception of the Columbia River as the defining feature of the Pacific Northwest region. The study examines how that conception was developed, how it became institutionalized within and by a government agency, the Bonneville Power Administration, and what its impacts have been. Drawing on a mix of archival materials, published and unpublished secondary accounts, interviews, and the author's experience working on Columbia River policy, the dissertation shows that the definition of a Columbia River-centered Pacific Northwest was laid out in 1935 by the four-state Pacific Northwest Regional Planning Commission, influenced in part by a "regionalist" ideal of shared social and environmental well-being. It was institutionalized but narrowed into the federal BPA in 1937. Soon, a three-and-a-half-state Pacific Northwest consisting of Washington, Oregon, Idaho and western Montana was being knit together by shared transmission lines and uniformly inexpensive power rates, and by a federal power agency that positioned itself as a regional Chamber of Commerce. Since the Second World War, the Columbia River-centered Pacific Northwest has shaped its collective economic fortunes around exclusive regional access to BPA-provided Columbia River hydropower. But geographically distributed wealth did not end political conflict; private power companies, state governors, Native American tribes, and fish and wildlife agencies have had to be accommodated with distributions of BPA power and money. BPA-centered Columbia River management has through political conflict gradually expanded to serve wider interests, moving closer to the New Deal regionalist ideal. Yet in controversial decisions since 2000, Columbia River managers have chosen to risk wild salmon rather than breach federal Columbia River hydropower dams or allow Pacific Northwest power costs to escalate. They have done this because they have prioritized the most fundamental, and the most regional, Columbia River benefit of all: broadly shared inexpensive power. Understanding the opportunities and constraints of BPA-centered regional Columbia River management is essential in order to meet upcoming Columbia River policy challenges. Adviser: Alexander B.

Comparative Geospatial Analysis of Twitter Sentiment Data during the 2008 and 2012 U.S. Presidential ElectionsGordon, Josef (University of Oregon, October 10, 2013)[more][less]Lobben, Amy Gordon, Josef 2013-10-10T23:19:18Z 2013-10-10T23:19:18Z 2013-10-10 http://hdl.handle.net/1794/13424 The goal of this thesis is to assess and characterize the representativeness of sampled data that is voluntarily submitted through social media. The case study vehicle used is Twitter data associated with the 2012 Presidential election, which were in turn compared to similarly collected 2008 Presidential election Twitter data in order to ascertain the representative statewide changes in the pro-Democrat bias of sentiment-derived Twitter data mentioning either of the Republican or Democrat Presidential candidates. The results of the comparative analysis show that the MAE lessened by nearly half - from 13.1% in 2008 to 7.23% in 2012 - which would initially suggest a less biased sample. However, the increase in the strength of the positive correlation between tweets per county and population density actually suggests a much more geographically biased sample. en_US University of Oregon All Rights Reserved.

Comparing Photogrammetric and Spectral Depth Techniques in Extracting Bathymetric Data from a Gravel-Bed RiverShintani, Christina (University of Oregon, October 27, 2016)[more][less]Fonstad, Mark Shintani, Christina 2016-10-27T18:50:27Z 2016-10-27T18:50:27Z 2016-10-27 http://hdl.handle.net/1794/20517 Recent advances in through-water photogrammetry and optical imagery indicate that accurate, continuous bathymetric mapping may be possible in shallow, clear streams. This research directly compares the ability of through-water photogrammetry and spectral depth approaches to extract water depth for monitoring fish habitat. Imagery and cross sections were collected on a 140 meter reach of the Salmon River, Oregon, using an unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) and rtk-GPS. Structure-from-Motion (SfM) software produced a digital elevation model (DEM) (1.5 cm) and orthophoto (0.37 cm). The photogrammetric approach of applying a site-specific refractive index provided the most accurate (mean error 0.009 m) and precise (standard deviation of error 0.17 m) bathymetric data (R2 = 0.67) over the spectral depth and the 1.34 refractive index approaches. This research provides a quantitative comparison between and within bathymetric mapping methods, and suggests that a site-specific refractive index may be appropriate for similar gravel-bed, relatively shallow, clear streams. en_US University of Oregon All Rights Reserved. bathymetry fluvial geomorphology fluvial remote sensing photogrammetry structure from motion UAV Comparing Photogrammetric and Spectral Depth Techniques in Extracting Bathymetric Data from a Gravel-Bed River Electronic Thesis or Dissertation M.S. masters Department of Geography University of Oregon

The Internet affects many aspects of daily life and economic activity in globalized economies. The network city thesis posits that the Internet enables disbursed methods of production and new forms of economic activity. Existing economic geography literature concentrates on revenue generating firms. The concept of Cultural Heritage Cyberinfrastructure (CHCi) is developed in order to account for economic activities of nongoverning and nonrevenue generating firms, and is tested against the online activities of libraries. China, with its administratively homogeneous provincial library system and rapidly changing economy, is examined. The central government and provincial libraries are cooperatively building the National Digital Culture Network of China to provide information services to urban migrants and subsidize rural development efforts through CHCi. These projects are found to be more active in less-economically transitioned western provinces. CHCi is found to be a useful construct for studying non-governing, non-market segments of an economy.

Decolonial Autonomies: Fair Trade, Subsistence and the Everyday Practice of Food Sovereignty in the Highlands of ChiapasNaylor, Lindsay (University of Oregon, October 17, 2014)[more][less]Nelson, Lise Naylor, Lindsay 2014-10-17T16:13:12Z 2014-10-17 http://hdl.handle.net/1794/18505 Recognition of the world food crisis has increased popular and scholarly work on alternatives to corporatized agriculture. Among many alternatives, fair trade and food sovereignty are two movements that have received a substantial amount of attention. Scholarly work on these topics, however, has focused on larger-scale issues of policy, access and benefits accrued to producers and consumers within such alternative food systems. Producer-focused studies of fair trade--a broader certification system designed to ameliorate inequalities in the marketplace--have examined access to markets, producer benefits and fairness. Analyses of struggles for food sovereignty in the developing world--which are directed at producer control over agricultural systems--are focused on creating radical alternatives to neoliberal food systems. However, very little is known about the everyday agricultural and food production practices which farmers deploy as part of their involvement with these broader politics. Attempts to create secure livelihoods and food resources do not exist in a vacuum; they take place alongside other strategies for survival. This is a situation that is well illustrated by indigenous farmers living in self-declared autonomous communities in Chenalhó, Chiapas, Mexico, where, cultivating subsistence crops and cash crops represents an effort to advance a political agenda for indigenous autonomy and create secure sources of food and income. Based on research and fieldwork from 2010-2013, in this dissertation I examine how farmers who are linked up with broader networks (such as fair trade certification) understand and practice autonomy. Drawing on a feminist geopolitical approach, this research presents a `scaled-down' analysis of autonomy, fair trade certification and practices of food sovereignty which is focused on the experience of farmers in self-declared autonomous communities. This approach provides critical insight into the daily negotiations of farmers as they interact with a range of networks. en_US University of Oregon All Rights Reserved. autonomy decolonial fair trade feminist geopolitics food sovereignty resistance Decolonial Autonomies: Fair Trade, Subsistence and the Everyday Practice of Food Sovereignty in the Highlands of Chiapas Electronic Thesis or Dissertation 2015-10-17 Ph.D. doctoral Department of Geography University of Oregon

Given the digital conduits of much modern social interaction, online narratives increasingly affect material places. Yet the emerging glut of online information demands new methods of investigating place narratives at multiple scales. Drawing on novel geographic visualizations of the quantitative and qualitative characteristics of photographs of the U.S.-Mexico borderlands posted on the website Flickr, this study shows that online portrayals are 1) highly uneven in terms of distribution, visibility, and content, 2) fundamentally influenced by "real-world" geographies, 3) often culturally reductive, and 4) made to appear unduly exhaustive by the naturalizing visual slant of the internet as a medium of communication. These processes stand to influence how places are constructed in the information age, especially given the presence of "digital divides" that work against internet access for much of the world's population. en_US University of Oregon All Rights Reserved. borderlands critical cartography geoweb neogeography place volunteered geographic information Digital Facets of Place: Flickr's Mappings of the U.S.-Mexico Borderlands Electronic Thesis or Dissertation

Floodplain roads and railroads are common features in river landscapes, but their distribution and impacts have not been explicitly studied. This dissertation discusses the impacts of floodplain roads and railroads on channel and floodplain processes in river landscapes at the continental, regional, and local scales. At the continental scale, I documented the spatial patterns of roads and railroads in the floodplains of the continental United States and the regional variability of their potential impacts. Based on these results, I developed a conceptual model based on topography and the interaction of transportation and stream networks that suggests that the area of lateral disconnection caused by transportation infrastructure should be most extensive in mid-sized alluvial valleys in relatively rugged settings, such as those located in the western United States. I used pre-existing digital geologic, hydrologic, and transportation data with Geographic Information Systems software to map floodplain areas and lateral disconnection along the floodplains of two river systems in Washington State. I developed methods to quickly and inexpensively delineate potential or historic floodplain surfaces, to analyze lateral floodplain disconnection caused by different types of structure, and to rank floodplain reaches in terms of salmon habitat potential. Although all floodplains exhibited disconnection, the floodplain maps and habitat rankings helped identify opportunities for habitat preservation and restoration. At the local scale, I mapped and measured the impacts of lateral disconnection, showing that channel and riparian habitat was degraded in locations with floodplain transportation infrastructure confining the channel compared with similar nearby sites lacking such confinement. Railroad grades and road beds function as confining structures in the riparian zone, disrupting flood pulses and the exchange of water, sediment, and biota between channels and their floodplains and within the floodplain. Over longer time periods, these structures can also impede the natural meandering and migration of channels across their floodplains, disrupting the erosional and depositional processes that drive the high habitat and biological diversity characteristic of floodplains. My results show that human-caused disconnections need to be further incorporated into river science and management. This dissertation includes previously published and unpublished co-authored material. Committee in charge: W.

This paper examines the capability of LiDAR data to accurately map river water surface slopes in three reaches of the Sandy River, Oregon, USA. LiDAR data were compared with field measurements to evaluate accuracies and determine how water surface roughness and point density affect LiDAR measurements. Results show that LiDAR derived water surface slopes were accurate to within 0.0047,0.0025, and 0.0014 slope, with adjusted R2 values of 0.35, 0.47, and 0.76 for horizontal intervals of 5, 10, and 20m, respectively. Additionally, results show LiDAR provides greater data density where water surfaces are broken. This study provides conclusive evidence supporting use of LiDAR to measure water surface slopes of channels with accuracies similar to field based approaches. Committee in Charge: W.

These log structures were designed to address many of the restoration goals including creating scour pools, inhibiting bank erosion, creating and maintaining a sinuous river planform, and increasing complexity of fish habitat. This study uses geomorphic change detection techniques to monitor topographic change under and around the 26 log structures in two different river reaches over a six to seven year period. This study finds that the ELJs are remaining stable within the river and maintaining deep pool habitat. The study provides insight into which log structure variables are most related to the patterns and amounts of aggradation and degradation. Understanding the geomorphic changes to the riverbed in response to the placement of the ELJs can influence the design and future effectiveness of ELJs. en_US University of Oregon All Rights Reserved. engineered log jams fluvial river restoration Effects of Engineered Log Jams on Channel Morphology, Middle Fork of the John Day River, Oregon Electronic Thesis or Dissertation 10000-01-01 M.S. masters Department of Geography University of Oregon

The map communication model, which theorizes that geographic information is transmitted from the cartographer to the map user via a map, suggests that cartographers are responsible for clearly conveying spatial data in a way all map users can understand. Map users, however, come from different places and may harbor certain regional biases. This thesis investigates whether map users tend to focus on data patterns within their home regions during the visual-search and decision-making processes when reading classed choropleth maps, thereby exhibiting an egocentric map behavior. Seventy-one subjects took a computer-based test asking them to identify various phenomena on a series of choropleth maps of the lower 48 states. The results show a weak positive effect of egocentric map behavior; subjects who lived in a particular state longer were slightly more likely to choose states nearby their home region.

While shrimp farming has been economically successful, it has received criticism for being environmentally harmful, most notably because of farms replacing mangrove forests. Legislation regulating aquaculture development and technological responses to disease outbreak have had a large influence on the land use of the Thai coast. The objective of this research is to provide a systematic examination of how regulation and technology development have influenced land use in this region. To accomplish this, Landsat derived data were analyzed at the national and provincial scale to determine how Thai coastal land use systems change over time. I found that interrelated changes in technology and legislation have had complex influences on the landscape, which encourage both the restriction and expansion of aquaculture growth depending on time and location. en_US University of Oregon All Rights Reserved.

This research examines a case study: President Barack Obama's public approval as viewed by the United States population. The sentiments generated from Twitter were compared to the sentiments from public opinion polls in order to measure the degree of representativeness at both national and state level. The results show that Twitter data are not representative at the U.S. national level. At the state level, Twitter data representativeness is highly varied and such variability can be linked to individual state's total population. en_US University of Oregon All Rights Reserved. geography public opinion social media Twitter volunteered geographic information Every Tweet Counts: Examining Spatial Variability of Twitter Data Representativeness Electronic Thesis or Dissertation M.S. masters Department of Geography University of Oregon

This dissertation examined a number of general vegetation-modeling issues, and the sensitivity of terrestrial net primary productivity (NPP), soil moisture and actual evapotranspiration (ET) to climatic variations in China. The specific issues addressed included: (1) the sensitivity of the performance of an equilibrium vegetation model to the choice of monthly-mean climatologies, observed validation data sets, and three map-comparison approaches; and (2) the limitations of existing map-comparison approaches in vegetation modeling; and the variation and climate sensitivity of (3) terrestrial NPP and (4) soil moisture and actual ET in China. To address the first issue, BIOME4 (Kaplan et al., 2002), a typical example of an equilibrium vegetation model, was used along with a set of 19 different monthly-mean climatologies, three validation data sets, and several map-comparison methods. To address the second issue, the "opposite and identity" (01) index (Tang, 2008) was developed for evaluating the correspondence of two simulation results. To examine the third issue, a set of historical NPP dynamics were derived from normalized-difference vegetation index data by modifying the CASA (Potter et al., 1999) approach and then were linked to the variation of temperature and precipitation to analyze the climatic effects on terrestrial NPP in China. To examine the fourth issue, a stand-alone water balance model, LH (LPJ-hydrology), was developed by modifying the LPJ dynamic global vegetation model (Sitch et al., 2003), and applying it to a China case study. The results of these analyses indicate that (1) the 30-year mean-climatology preceding the observed data produces the most accurate vegetation simulations; (2) the OI index is a useful tool to compare two simulation results or to evaluate simulation results against observed spatiotemporal data; (3) climate and land-use change jointly controlled NPP dynamics in the eastern monsoon zone of China. In contrast, NPP dynamics in the north-west and zone and in the Tibet Plateau frigid zone depended more on climatic variation; and (4) the spatial patterns of soil moisture and ET in China were correlated with the variation of temperature and precipitation. However, the strength of such relationship varies spatially. This dissertation includes my published and coauthored materials. Adviser: Patrick J.

Examining the role of collaborative governance in fostering adaptive capacity: A case study from northwest ColoradoGrummon, Christine (University of Oregon, October 27, 2016)[more][less]Bone, Christopher Grummon, Christine 2016-10-27T18:50:01Z 2016-10-27T18:50:01Z 2016-10-27 http://hdl.handle.net/1794/20516 Over the past two decades, the mountain pine beetle (MPB) has killed millions of acres of forest across western North America. In addition to extensive environmental disturbance, the MPB epidemic has deeply impacted human systems, including motivating the formation of novel environmental governance arrangements. In Colorado, the Colorado Bark Beetle Cooperative (CBBC) formed as a collaboration between federal, state, and local stakeholders to address the epidemic. This study used a combination of GIS analysis and qualitative document analysis to understand how the CBBC has been able to respond adaptively to changes in the landscape pattern of MPB damage. I found that the CBBC was able to respond adaptively to changes in the MPB outbreak through shifting their organizational direction and activities. However, the adaptive capacity of the group was constrained by logistical factors, the declining importance of MPB at a national level, and the ways in which the group framed the MPB problem. en_US University of Oregon All Rights Reserved.

Thanks to your generous support, we're continuing to see great progress with our Community Knowledge Worker (CKW) initiative in Uganda. More smallholder farmers know that they can rely on their local CKW to find the information they need to better treat their crops and care for their animals, which helps poor farmers increase their incomes and better provide for themselves and their families.
With your help, since July our CKWs have:
In addition, since it opened in last year, the agricultural experts at our Farmer Call Center have fielded more than 1,300 calls from CKWs and other farmers who have more complex problems that cannot be resolved through searching our CKW database on the mobile phone.
CKWs are poor farmers too, and sometimes the information they are able to access helps them solve problems for themselves as well. Shamira Chebet, a CKW from the Kapchorwa region of Uganda, recently called the Farmer Call Center with a problem about her banana plants. These plants had brought her more than $450 in income the year before; Shamira also uses them to feed her family and had used the leaves and scraps from the plants to feed her cows and goats.
Needless to say, when her plants started to yellow and wither, she was very concerned. The Call Center expert told her to apply manure to the base of the banana plants, since they were showing signs of magnesium and potassium deficiency. Shamira quickly applied manure to some of the plants to make sure it would work, and found that the plants she had treated were soon greener and healthier than those left untreated. She now treats all her banana plants with manure, and tells her neighbors whom she helps as a CKW – many of whom are also banana farmers – to use this solution when they're facing the same problem.
We've come so far thanks to your help. Thank you for your compassion and generosity!
There are more farmers and CKWs like Shamira who need your help, so that they can continue to earn income and provide for their families. We are so close to our goal – won't you contribute whatever you can today, and ask your friends and family on your social networks to do the same?
Thank you again for your life-changing support!

What You Need:
- Scarf to use as a blindfold
- Medium-sized objects, to be used as obstacles
- Ball
- Bucket or a basket
What You Do:
- Set it Up. The first step in this activity of extraordinary trust is to set up the obstacle course. A large grassy area is the ideal setting for the event. Use a variety of medium-sized objects to set up the obstacle course. For example:
- Cones- to go around
- Pillows- to step on top of, or over
- Small boxes- to step into, or pick up
- Hula Hoops- to jump inside of, or pick up and drop over the body!
- Jump ropes- to duck underneath, put inside of a nearby box, or wrap around something
The idea is to create a course that your child can maneuver around safely by following your directions. Place the objects about four feet apart, ending at a box or basket, which will be used as the 'goal'.
- Talk About Left and Right. If your child has difficulty remembering which is which, show her that if she holds her hands up with her thumbs down, the left hand will make an 'L' for left.
- Introduce the Course. Walk your child over to the starting line and explain that you're going to give her directions to the finish line, where she'll place the ball in the basket to make a goal. Emphasize the need to listen very carefully and do only what you say (sounds like a dream come true!). Then cover both her eyes with the blindfold.
- Direct! Keep your directions short and simple, giving one command at a time. For example, "Take three hops forward" or "Take one big step to the left". As she becomes comfortable with the game you can give her a two-step direction to follow, such as "Take one large step backwards and two steps to the right." Guide your child around the obstacle course to the finish line, where she can place the ball into the basket. Goal!

Let us know when your receive great advice so we can thank our lawyers and point others with similar questions in the right direction.Got it!
In late 1983 I was 5 and in kindergarden Another 5 year old and myself were playing and we took the skirt off a doll. A little girl saw us and went and told the person who ran the daycare, the daughter of the owner who is now dead. we were both called up to the front office. I was told we were very bad and she was going to teach us a lesson. She grabbed me undid my pants, grabbed my penis hard , pulled my pants down in front of others and said If i walked around with my pants down for the rest of the mourning she would not tell my mom.The same thing happened to the other boy. A few weeks later I was put on meds for behavior till 9th grade, was seen by psy for 5+ years weekly. I was put in a mental hospital for 30 days in 5th grade. In 08 I found out it was abuse. I want to sue for damages
Under Illinois law an action for damages for personal injury based on childhood sexual abuse must be commenced within 20 years of the date the limitation period begins to run under subsection (d) or within 20 years of the date the person abused discovers or through the use of reasonable diligence should discover both (i) that the act of childhood sexual abuse occurred and (ii) that the injury was caused by the childhood sexual abuse.
You've waited until the very end. ACT FAST NOW. Time may already have run out. Hire a lawyer. Get an investigations started. It will cost you some but don't delay anymore.
am I wrong or didn't she say the owner who did this is now dead. how do you sue a deceased person?
or maybe it was just bad sentence construction
I agee with Attorney Brinkmeier. You need to see an attorney who handles such cases immediately.

Convention working for a better British Columbia
I had the privilege of attending the B.C. Federation of Labour convention in Vancouver on Nov. 26-28. I believe it is important that your readership know that if they ever want to really get to know what union workers are concerned about and how eloquently and passionately they can speak on issues that should be the concern of all citizens in B.C.; they should attend the conference as an observer.
The business of the convention centered not on the typical concerns of unions regarding salary, benefits, and working conditions for union members.
There were almost 900 blue-collar workers, white-collar workers, teachers, nurses, labour council representatives and others debating issues such as the abysmal treatment of immigrant workers who come to Canada to work for less than the minimum standards set out for British Columbians and with little or no protections for health and safety, the lack of a national day care program, the concern of exporting our raw resources without developing value added opportunities in Canada, global warming and environmental issues, the need for stronger federal and provincial regulation of employment standards, the deterioration of health care service and the danger of increased privatization and two-tier health care, and the need in British Columbia to guarantee all workers a minimum standard of income by raising the minimum wage to $10.
The meeting even passed a teacher-recommended resolution condemning the provincial government for the $50 million claw back of funding for grade 10 to 12 part time students that came after budgets, staffing and programs at the school level had been established for this year.
There were many other social justice issues that were discussed and many more that were not able to come to the floor because of the limited time allotment. The resolutions that came forward came from local affiliates of the federation and those speaking to them demonstrated the high level of education, thought, responsibility and respect that the unionized workforce in B.C. has for not just all workers in British Columbia but for all our communities and families.
Having been in attendance, I have felt humbled by the quality, integrity, concern and care my union colleagues from very diverse roles, regions and skills shared at the convention.
It has shown me how important unions are in our society, how significant the supreme court ruling entrenching the right to free collective bargaining in the Charter of Rights, and how important it is for the working people, be they blue-collar, white-collar, or professional, work together to make our communities healthy, safe, and caring places to live.
It made me very proud to belong to my union, the Okanagan Skaha Teachers' Union, to be affiliated with the B.C. Federation of Labour and the Canadian Labour Congress, and to be part of a tremendous positive force of intelligent, caring, and knowledgeable people.

New playground equipment purchased for city park
Submitted by crecord2010 on
Construction on the Cuero Municipal playground is underway. Playground equipment has been removed. The next steps include removing pea gravel and fencing. Installation of new equipment will begin Feb. 3. Work on a green chain link fence will also begin at this time. Once the fence is complete, work will begin to construct a walking trail along the inside perimeter of the fence line. Then engineered wood fiber surfacing will be installed.
Two play areas are planned, one for younger children and one for older children. New playground equipment includes swings, a merry-go-round, a see-saw, tilted sky runner, volcano climber and locomotion with shade.
The total amount of GameTime equipment and installation was $267,800. The city applied for a grant for matching funds in November that was accepted by GameTime. Other costs for the playground revamp include $10,200 for decomposed granite; $6,600 for six tables and trash receptacles, lids and liners; $11,800 for a green chain link fence; and $4,200 for green powder coat landscaping edging. Total cost for renovations is $300,000. A grant for the Cuero Development Corporation will pay for $95,000, with the remainder being paid for by the city.
Parks representative David Danish said he expects construction to be complete before Cuero ISD releases for spring break.

On a balmy New York evening with snow a distant memory, the corners of the Crosby Hotel were fitted with white stuff, the waiters sported big ski lodge sweaters and snow boots, and the décor, usually warm, was even cozier. The occasion was a screening of one episode of Lilyhammer, the first of five original series planned for Netflix. Harvey Weinstein and Netflix's chief content officer Ted Sarandos hosted the evening, with the help of uber party planner Peggy Siegal. Starring E Street Band guitarist and The Sopranos veteran Steven Van Zandt, Lilyhammer begs the question, where can mob fugitives go to hide? Even ex-Sopranos? Well, how about Lilyhammer, the remote town in Norway that famously hosted the Olympics in 1984? It looked pristine, beautiful, Frankie (The Fixer) Tagliano explains even as he brings his ways of getting things done (i.e. bribes, blackmail) to cut through the country's bureaucracy. Talk about a clash of cultures!
And yet, this is not "lost in translation." The laughs, loud and deep, come from the realization, whatever the situation like a wolf threatening livestock, Frankie's strategies get the job done. Wearing his Soprano-esque pompadour, Frankie looks like an Arab, opines one of the locals. A sheep's head wrapped in paper has him quipping, I thought I'd have to give Johnny Fontaine a singing part in a movie.
Joining the after party, his head wrapped in its signature rag, Van Zandt greeted Tony Bennett, Bruce Springsteen, Georgina Chapman, David Chase, Paul Haggis, Gina Gershon, Celia Weston, Bob Balaban, Carol Alt, and The Soprano's co-stars, Lorraine Bracco, Steve Schirripa, Tony Sirico, Vincent Pastore. Michael Shannon, seated outside on a bench, said they were getting ready to shoot the third season of Boardwalk Empire. Of his corrupt character, he says, he is still a mess. The "mob" heavy room also included Suzanne Corso, the author of Brooklyn Story, a novel about, what else? Growing up where gangsters are not quite so funny.
At episode's end, it looks like Frankie's running things in Lilyhammer, as he calls it. Congratulations, says a reporter, to wit he replies of the episodes to come, "You may think you know what will happen but the show's full of surprises."

Within the UK there is an obesity epidemic which can be ascribed to an increased consumption of foods high in sugars and saturated fats together with a decrease in physical activity. Poor diet and a lack of exercise can make worse specific health conditions, such as hypertension, heart disease, diabetes and cancers through their direct impact on weight and obesity. Obesity continues to be on the increase across the whole range of age groups in the population from cradle to grave. The consequences of this are disturbing increases in many avoidable diseases such as diabetes, heart disease and certain cancers with additional pressure placed on the NHS. Tackling obesity is the most important public and personal health challenge facing our society. The crux of the problem is simple - we eat too much and we do too little exercise.
In England alone, nearly a quarter of men and women are now obese. The trends for children give even more cause for concern, with 18 per cent of 2 to 15 year olds currently obese and a further 14 per cent overweight. The Foresight report on obesity, published last year, indicated that nearly 60 per cent of the
UK population could be obese by 2050. Being overweight or obese is the most important predictor of chronic disease risk. Recent data on incidence of obesity in the young suggest that children and adolescents should be the focus of prevention plans and efforts.
Better lifestyle habits will reduce YOUR risk of heart disease, diabetes, obesity and more! You will feel better, have more energy and reduce your risk of other illnesses. Living healthy also elevates your mood, helping you to feel happy and have more self confidence, which results in a better quality of life. Living a healthy lifestyle is very important in older people and is positively related to a reduced risk and a delay in the deterioration in their health. It slows down the aging process and helps the older generation stay strong and healthy. Living a healthier lifestyle also slows down the disease development and contributes to a longer life.
The importance of a healthy lifestyle in children has grown tremendously. Obesity in children is increasing in all countries. Because of this factor it is more important than ever that we educate our children on the importance of a healthier living. They need to learn to eat healthy foods and they need to be put on a daily or 3 times weekly exercise schedule. Let your children know the health risks involved in being overweight. If we teach our children the pros of living a healthier lifestyle they will carry this knowledge throughout their lives and become more productive and happier adults.

A 63-year-old man was arrested for his fifth offense of drunken driving Oct. 19, according to a city of Brookfield police report.
An officer clocked the Wauwatosa man driving 40 mph in a 25-mph zone on Greenfield Avenue, east of Sunnyslope Road, just after 10 p.m. Oct. 19, the report states.
The man then cut off the officer's squad car and proceeded to turn left from a through-lane before he was stopped on Elm Grove Road, near Cardinal Crest Drive.
A blood sample was collected to determine the man's blood-alcohol content.

XML and Java together are the most ideal building blocks to develop Web services and Applications accessing web services. XML is considered as the standard for exchanging data across disparate systems and Java provides a platform for building portable applications. One way to access and use an XML document through the Java programming language is through SAX or DOM parsers. Now developers have another Java API which makes it easier to access XML documents: Java Architecture for XML Binding (JAXB). It allows java developer for mapping between the Java classes and the XML representations. JAXB allow us for marshalling of java objects into XML and vice-versa or we can say JAXB enables us to store and retrieve the data in any XML format into the memory. Regularly changing XML schema definitions can be time consuming and error prone so JAXB is useful in such situations.
The general steps to use the JAXB API are:

Same Day Eid in Atlanta
There are more than 40 Masajids and Mussallahs in Greater Atlanta area. It appears that our major Masajids follow Saudi Arabia to start and finish Islamic months. Smaller Masajids either follow the bigger Masajids or follow National organizations like ISNA or ICNA. Muslims of Atlanta have family members and friends in other parts of the country. It is common to see that one family member is fasting elsewhere in the country when another is celebrating EID. Not only that, this has actually happened within Atlanta also, depending the Masjid one belongs to. We do respect our major Masajids\' reasoning behind their decision to follow Saudi Arabia. However, organizations like ISNA and ICNA (70%+ Masajids in North America follow these two organizations) also have religious reasonings behind their method of operation. This petition does not object on any formula used by any Masjid to sight the moon. However, we the petitioners of this document request Masajids in Atlanta to follow the majority of Muslims in North America. We are hopeful that decision makers in major Masajids will give consideration to this request. May Allah bless us all, specially those who will make an effort to bring unity and harmony among Muslims. Ameen.

Created attachment 441459 [details] [diff] [review]
From parent bug:
Right now RestoreDocument_proxy is added as a listener for the load event, so
that it can refill form data. However it's added directly, as opposed to every
other event listener adding SS and then calling a method. So the context is
weird when looking at the code. `this` is not SessionStore, it's the browser
This has worked fine, but in doing probing work for bug 550967, I needed access
to the SessionStore `this`, but couldn't get it without creating a global or
attaching it to the tab, which is hacky.

Abriel is an American pop/metalcore band based out of San Francisco, CA that was formed in 2008. They are best known for their female vocals, mixing deathcore with pop, and their "DIY" approach to the industry funding their own tours, album releases, and marketing. The band has been through a lot these past 4 years, including 2 break ups. Their facebook page is new but the myspace page is original and has about 50,000 hits, about 3,000 fans, and about 15,000 plays. Abriel has headlined the 2009 Metaverse Apocalypse Tour, was support for the 2009 All Shall Perish summer tour, support at the 2009 Warped Tour, performed main stage at both the 2010 and 2011 California Metalfest, and released their debut cd through Island Def Jam right before breaking up.
In 2012, Abriel revived themselves with new members and relocated to southern California. Abriel was then added on to the Scream The Prayer Tour with Emery in July and the Summer Slaughter Tour in August with Cannibal Corpse. Abriel is currently preparing to go in the studio to record their next release with Alex Pappas(Finch, Unwritten Law) and will be shooting a video this fall while promoting the release of the film Locked In A Garage Band, which Abriel's hit single, "Natalie Vs Pedobear," will be one of the tracks on the film's soundtrack. The band performed at California Metalfest VI in San Bernardino, CA on November 24th with Killswitch Engage, As I Lay Dying, Asking Alexandria, and many more.
In 2013, the band announced their Spring West Coast Tour, the first full tour the band has done since 2009, which will take place starting on May 1st in Fullerton, CA at Slide Bar. Abriel is currently writing for their sophomore full length album to be released in the Summer/Fall and the band is rumored to be touring again after the release. Members of the band state that the second album will be completely different than their debut album, "This Will Swallow You Whole." There will be more dynamics at play with heavier and more complex riffs, deathly breakdowns, and surprisingly catchy melodies.
Bands Performed With:
Killswitch Engage, As I Lay Dying, Cannibal Corpse, The Dillinger Escape Plan, Winds Of Plague, Suicide Silence, I Wrestled A Bear Once, The Devil Wears Prada, The Acacia Strain, Between The Buried and Me, Job For A Cowboy, Bleeding Through, The Faceless, Oceano, Born Of Osiris, Bless The Fall, A Day To Remember, In This Moment, Jamies Elsewhere, Pierce The Veil, All Shall Perish, 3OH3, A Skylit Drive, Son Of Aurelius, Cobra Starship, Aiden, VersaEmerge, AlexisonFire, Attack Attack, Chiodos, Arsonists Get All The Girls, Emery, Mychildren Mybride, Modern Day Escape

Latest mock drafts have Ducks taking offense
NHL.com has enlisted scouts' opinion for the entry draft on June 25-26, and the reiterating consensus is that the Ducks will take offense first.
[caption id="attachment_37475" align="alignright" width="201" caption="Sheahan"][/caption]
The Ducks currently have the No.12 pick, and scouts from the Western and Eastern conferences have the club taking either center Riley Sheahan of Notre Dame or left wing Kirill Kabanov of the Quebec Major Junior League's Moncton Wildcats.
This is in line with the Ducks' need for a winger, although they could also use a defenseman. But they also have the 29th pick, and having two first-round picks might make them more inclined to take a risk on a middle-round forward.
Judging by these mock drafts, it doesn't appear that this year's draft is terribly deep on defensemen after the top 10, anyway.
If the Ducks retain the 12th and 29th picks, would you take a forward or a defensemen? Goalie? Best player available?
