The sun rose reddishly and streaks of cirrus clouds meant it would likely be a windy day. She cradled the .30-06 across her knees, pleased that she had brought a small Space Blanket along to sit on, a buffer against the frozen earth. Way to the north she could see Lester’s alfalfa fields and to the east there were thousands of flat acres of wheatland that reminded her of Willa Cather. She meant to visit Nebraska someday because of Cather but she intended to visit a lot of places and had been nowhere to speak of except western Montana. Sitting there glassing the landscape with her binoculars for ante- lope she felt a sharp pang of loneliness beneath her breastbone. At about nine-thirty she heard a rifle shot off to the northeast and suspected Marcia had scored. Sarah glassed a group of about fifteen antelope running toward the south that unfortunately would not be coming close to her. The wind rose and she backed into the juniper bush for shelter, looking down at a jackrabbit skull and part of its skeleton. After a while during which Marcia gutted the animal, she was visible heading toward Sarah alternately JIM HARRISON is the author of over twenty-five books of carrying the antelope for a hundred yards then dragging fiction, nonfiction, and poetry.

  • GLOBAL MONITOR Bond Rating Agencies
    New Political Economy, Vol. 8, No. 1, 2003 GLOBAL MONITOR Bond Rating Agencies TIMOTHY J. SINCLAIR Emerging from relative obscurity in the 1990s, the major bond rating agencies, Moody’s Investors Service and Standard & Poor’s (S&P), have recently acquired a global reach from their US home base. Their views on the creditworthiness of corporations, municipalities and sovereign governments have become much more significant as capital markets have grown more important as sources of financing relative to traditional bank loans. This new international role for the bond rating agencies builds upon a century of prior experience of rating and information provision in the United States. The long gestation undertaken by the rating industry is usually ignored by analysts, but it is central to understanding the resources the rating agencies bring to their work, and why they are able to shield themselves from some of the rating ‘failures’ that took place in the 1990s. What the agencies actually sell is a feeling of confidence in the future, and how that feeling is created, managed (and challenged) are key moments in understanding the rating system. Rating agencies vary by reputation, the more eminent firms being more successful at inducing confidence.1 I begin this report by briefly outlining the origins and current standing of the US agencies. The rating process and outputs are the focus of the second part, as these activities are key to understanding what makes rating work. In the third element of this report, I examine the controversy over the downgrading of Japanese sovereign bonds. In the subsequent section, I discuss the Enron bankruptcy, a key recent rating ‘failure’ that risks degrading or destroying the reputation of the global rating agencies.

  • October 2008 Comedy Channel Highlights
    www.comedychannel.com.au OCTOBER 2008 HIGHLIGHTS THE MERRICK & ROSSO SHOW WORLD PREMIERE Thursday October 2 @ 8.30pm Continues Thursdays at 8.30pm Merrick and Rosso are back on the box where they belong, with the keys to the Foxtel car - and enough fuel in the tank to really cause some chaos! They’ll finally return to their broadcasting birth place at The Comedy Channel with THE MERRICK & ROSSO SHOW. So what’s on the cards for the new show? Each week the boys will front up before a live studio audience with their unique take on anything and everything. From what’s happening in the world of news to the big questions: Can you deep fry a watermelon? On THE MERRICK & ROSSO SHOW, celebrities will make regular guest appearances from in-studio interviews to recorded comedy pieces to show you a side of them never before seen. Into the mix will go plenty of studio audience interaction and more mayhem and stupidity than is legal in three states. For perhaps the first time, Merrick Watts and Tim Ross will truly focus the energy and excitement of their legendary sell-out live comedy shows and bring that force to the electric television. It’s hotter than Gordon Ramsay’s kitchen, is sure to top Brendan Nelson’s approval ratings and it’s ‘wronger’ than an Austrian family get-together. THE MERRICK & ROSSO SHOW will allow nobody to be immune from their parodies and sketch comedy. Finally, as Merrick and Rosso are keen to point out, “Put simply, the show is Morcambe and Wise meets The Star Wars Christmas Special at an Alcoholics Anonymous meeting during The French Renaissance… on a weeknight.” Buckle up Australia, for a riotous half hour of THE MERRICK & ROSSO SHOW.

PUB DATE 2001-05-00 NOTE 16p.; Paper presented at the Annual Meeting of the Association for Business Communication Convention (66th, San Diego, CA, November 7-10, 2001). PUB TYPE Reports Research (143) Speeches/Meeting Papers (150) EDRS PRICE MF01/PC01 Plus Postage. DESCRIPTORS *Business Communication; *Classroom Techniques; Communication Research; *Essays; Higher Education; Semiotics IDENTIFIERS Communication Context; *Concept Recognition; Iconic Representation; *Insider (The); University of Puerto Rico ABSTRACT Business communication is different from other domains in that its contextual meaning requires previous metacognitive mediation of signs. The communicative process in business is aimed at accomplishing a specific outcome. Various forms of meaning come into play in business communication such as denotative, connotative, stylistic, affective, collocative, thematic, aesthetic, and generative. In teaching business communication theory an uncalculated number of strategies have been used throughout the years. A study employed the strategy of extrapolating meaning from the communicative issues and/or events presented throughout the 1999 film "The Insider," which centers on the distracting euphemism used by top executives of the tobacco industries when testifying in court that nicotine is not harmful to people's health. Participants, 30 volunteer students from the Faculty of Business Communication, University of Puerto Rico, watched the movie and then wrote essays about how business communication theory concepts were related to the different issues and events in the film. Essays (n=25) were analyzed in terms of cohesive structure and modes of stylistic writing.

  • Interpretation in Recent Literary, Film and Cultural Criticism
    t- \r- 9 Anxieties of Commentary: Interpretation in Recent Literary, Film and Cultural Criticism Noel Kitg A Dissertàtion Presented to the Faculty of Arts at the University of Adelaide In Candidacy for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy March 7994 Nwo.rà"o\ \qq5 l1 @ 7994 Noel Ki^g Atl rights reserved lr1 Abstract This thesis claims that a distinctive anxiety of commentary has entered literary, film and cultural criticism over the last thirty years/ gathering particular force in relation to debates around postmodernism and fictocriticism and those debates which are concerned to determine the most appropriate ways of discussing popular cultural texts. I argue that one now regularly encounters the figure of the hesitant, self-diiioubting cultural critic, a person who wonders whether the critical discourse about to be produced will prove either redundant (since the work will already include its own commentary) or else prove a misdescription of some kind (since the criticism will be unable to convey the essence of , say, the popular cultural object). In order to understand the emergence of this figure of the self-doubting cultural critic as one who is no longer confident that available forms of critical description are adequate and/or as one who is worried that the critical writing produced will not connect with a readership that might also have formed a constituency, the thesis proposes notions of "critical occasions," "critical assemblages," "critical postures," and "critical alibis." These are presented as a way of indicating that "interpretative occasions" are simultaneously rhetorical and ethical. They are site-specific occasions in the sense that the critic activates a rhetorical-discursive apparatus and are also site-specific in the sense that the critic is using the cultural object (book, film) as an occasion to call him or herself into question as one who requires a further work of self-stylisation (which might take the form of a practice of self-problematisation).
