This report describes municipal regional stormwater permit (MRP) compliance activities conducted at the regional and countywide levels. This report incorporates by reference the Bay Area Stormwater Management Agencies Association’s (BASMAA) Regional Supplements1 to the annual report for monitoring/POCs and training and outreach.

  • “It Would Just Kill Me to Marry Mary Todd”: Courtship and Marriage
    Chapter Six “It Would Just Kill Me to Marry Mary Todd”: Courtship and Marriage (1840-1842) In 1842, Lincoln married Mary Todd, a woman who was to make his domestic life “a burning, scorching hell,” as “terrible as death and as gloomy as the grave,” according to one who knew him well.1 COURTING MARY OWENS Lincoln’s courtship of Mary Todd is poorly documented, but indirect light on it is shed by his earlier, well-documented romance with Mary S. Owens. Born in Kentucky a few months before Lincoln, Mary Owens received a good education at the home of her wealthy father, a planter in Green County.2 She “was very different from Anne Rutledge.” Not only was she older, bigger, better-educated, and raised “in the most refined society,” she also “dressed much finer than any of the ladies who lived about New 1 William H. Herndon, quoted in Michael Burlingame, The Inner World of Abraham Lincoln (Urbana: University of Illinois Press, 1994), 268. 2 Nathaniel Owens, out “of his deep concern for the education of his children . maintained a private school in his pretentious plantation home, to which came instructors from Transylvania University, Ky., to give instruction to his children and those of his neighbors.” On his 5000-acre plantation he grew cotton and tobacco, which he farmed with the help of two dozen slaves. Notes on Nathaniel Owens, Fern Nance Pond Papers, Menard County Historical Museum, Petersburg, Illinois. According to William B. Allen, Owens “was a farmer of good education for the times, and of a high order of native intellect.

  • The Language of Virtual Worlds E-Mails, Chatgroups and the Web Have All in Common the Fact of Being Electronic Interactions About Real Things in the Real World
    The language of Virtual Worlds E-mails, chatgroups and the Web have all in common the fact of being electronic interactions about real things in the real world. In a virtual world interaction the subject-matter is totally imaginary, communication takes place with reference to the character and events of a virtual world. In the past, the most generic designation for virtual worlds was MUDs. Mud stood for “Multi-Users- Dungeon” with reference to the role-play fantasy game “Dungeons and Dragons”. At present another designation is more common, MMORPG (Massive(ly) Multiplayer Online Role- Playing Game, which includes the MUDs. Role-play games are played by groups of people. The “Game Master” defines the environment in which the players will move, the obstacles and their powers. Each player chooses a character and selects its attributes (race, clothing, weapons, gender). Games can last for years. The MUD game is quite similar to the role- playing games (RPG). At present MUD is glossed as “Multi-User- Dimension” to get away from the monster and combat association. At present Virtual Worlds are very different in subject-matter and some of them have nothing to do with fantasy. There are MUDs games were there are winners and losers but many of them foster collaborative role-playing activities. You can create a MUD for social chat, but here you create your own world and adopt characters which fit into this world. Within the educational domain, some people constructed MUDs in order to engage in a discussion of academic research or college teaching practice. Whether the purpose of MUDs, they are all interactive databases which create vivid environments in which users interact.

Box 1346 Ann Arbor, Ml 48106-1346 Abstract My thesis examines changing conceptions of colonial, artistic and female identity. I build on the work of previous critics (including Ash, Parkin-Gounelas, Pride, Sandbrook, Wevers), but I seek to place renewed emphasis on literary-historical context and questions of aesthetic value. My introductory chapter grounds the twentieth-century works in literary analyses of a sample of published nineteenth-century accounts by British women of their emigration to New Zealand. These women ahgn expatriation with bereavement, yet advocate the colony’s new egalitarianism. The chapter ends with a reading of Victorian fiction by ' Ahen' (Louisa Baker: once popular, but now seldom read), for whom expatriation was already a complex matter. For ' Ahen’, the New Zealander’s return to England connotes artistic self­ betterment and women’s entry into valuable work: themes crucial to Mansfield, in whose early prose expatriation represents similar hberation.
