The Effects of Spring Cattle Grazing on the Nutritional Ecology of Mule Deer
THE EFFECTS OF SPRING CATTLE GRAZING ON THE NUTRITIONAL ECOLOGY OF MULE DEER (ODOCOILEUS HEMIONUS) IN EASTERN WASHINGTON By SARA JANE WAGONER A thesis submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of MASTER OF SCIENCES IN NATURAL RESOURCE SCIENCES WASHINGTON STATE UNIVERSITY Department of Natural Resource Sciences MAY 2011 To the Faculty of Washington State University The members of the Committee appointed to examine the thesis of SARA JANE WAGONER find it satisfactory and recommend that it be accepted ________________________________ Lisa A. Shipley, Ph.D., Chair ________________________________ Linda H. Hardesty, Ph.D. ________________________________ Kristen A. Johnson, Ph.D. ________________________________ Karen L. Launchbaugh, Ph.D. ii ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS This project was fully funded and supported by the Washington Department of Fish and Wildlife (WDFW), and partnered by the Washington Cattlemen’s Association. My advisor, Dr. Lisa A. Shipley, whom was the brain-child and brawn-child behind this enormous endeavor, tirelessly offered perspective and assistance when I needed it, and I am forever indebted. A sincere thank you to my committee members: Linda Hardesty, Kristen Johnson, and Karen Launchbaugh for contributing their range science expertise and logistical input to our experimental design. I extend my appreciation to Rachel and John Cook, for giving me the opportunity to work along side them at Starkey; it gave me a real grasp on what I was getting into; especially to Rachel, for her professional guidance, friendship, and assistance towards this project. Thank you Laura Applegate, Taryn Clark, Becky Greenwood, Ben Maletzke, Tamara Johnstone-Yellin. and Sarah McCusker for selflessly pitching in, you are truly great friends. -

As agreed with your office, we gathered information on areas managed by two agencies: the Department of the Interior’s Bureau of Land Management (BLN) and the Department of Agriculture’s Forest Service. Specifically, this report provides information on (1) legislative guidance and the agency policies governing wilderness study area management, (2) the various activities and uses occurring in the agencies’ study areas, (3) the ways these activities and uses affect the areas, and (4) agency actions to monitor and restrict these uses and to repair damage resulting from them. Appendixes I and II provide data on the number, acreage, and locations of wilderness study areas managed by BLM and the Forest Service, as well as data on the types of uses occurring in the areas. -

The Making of Sultan Süleyman: a Study of Process/Es of Image-Making and Reputation Management
THE MAKING OF SULTAN SÜLEYMAN: A STUDY OF PROCESS/ES OF IMAGE-MAKING AND REPUTATION MANAGEMENT by NEV ĐN ZEYNEP YELÇE Submitted to the Institute of Social Sciences in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in History Sabancı University June, 2009 © Nevin Zeynep Yelçe 2009 All Rights Reserved To My Dear Parents Ay şegül and Özer Yelçe ABSTRACT THE MAKING OF SULTAN SÜLEYMAN: A STUDY OF PROCESS/ES OF IMAGE-MAKING AND REPUTATION MANAGEMENT Yelçe, Nevin Zeynep Ph.D., History Supervisor: Metin Kunt June 2009, xv+558 pages This dissertation is a study of the processes involved in the making of Sultan Süleyman’s image and reputation within the two decades preceding and following his accession, delineating the various phases and aspects involved in the making of the multi-layered image of the Sultan. Handling these processes within the framework of Sultan Süleyman’s deeds and choices, the main argument of this study is that the reputation of Sultan Süleyman in the 1520s was the result of the convergence of his actions and his projected image. In the course of this study, main events of the first ten years of Sultan Süleyman’s reign are conceptualized in order to understand the elements employed first in making a Sultan out of a Prince, then in maintaining and enhancing the sultanic image and authority. As such, this dissertation examines the rhetorical, ceremonial, and symbolic devices which came together to build up a public image for the Sultan. Contextualized within a larger framework in terms of both time and space, not only the meaning and role of each device but the way they are combined to create an image becomes clearer. -
THE WILD CASCADES April - May 1971 2 the WILD CASCADES TRAILBIKES and STUMPS: the PROPOSED MT
THE WILD CASCADES April - May 1971 2 THE WILD CASCADES TRAILBIKES AND STUMPS: THE PROPOSED MT. ST. HELENS RECREATION AREA Having clearcut all the way up to the moraines on three sides of the volcano, the U. S. Forest Service now proposes to designate the ruins as a Mt. St. Helens Recreation Area. At public informational meetings in Vancouver on April 21, the plan was described in detail. As the map shows, the area includes the mountain, Spirit Lake, the St. Helens Lava Caves, and the Mt. Margaret Backcountry. Not much timber — and logging will continue in the Recreation Area, though under the direction of landscape architects (formerly known as logging engineers). Motor ized travel is allowed on most trails, the Hondas and hikers and horsemen all mixed together in one glorious multiple-use muddle. Spirit Lake is no longer a place to commune with spirits, not with water-skiers razzing around. Conservationists at the April 21 meetings criticized the proposal as little more than an attempt to give a touch of sexiness to the miserable and deteriorating status quo. There are recreation areas and recreation areas. (That's what Disneyland is, after all.) This adminis tratively-designated recreation area would be a far cry from, for example, the Lake Chelan National Recreation Area, or the proposed Alpine Lakes National Recreation Area, which have (or are proposed to have) a much higher degree of protection — protection guaranteed by Congress. The officials of Gifford Pinchot National Forest are friendly, decent folk, and hopefully are good listeners. If so, their final proposal, to be revealed next fall or winter, and subjected to further commentary at public hearings before adoption, will be considerably enlarged in size of area included and improved in quality of management.
