  • Always Talk to Strangers
    AN ABSTRACT OF THE THESIS OF C. Nathan Buck for the degree of Master of Fine Arts in Creative Writing presented on April 20, 2005. Title: Always Talk to Strangers Abstract approved: Redacted for Privacy Marjorie Sandor Always Talk to Strangers contains the first seven chapters to a novel. The novel focuses on the friendship between Amanda and Maria, two fourteen-year-old girls who are experiencing their last summer before high school in Madison, Wisconsin. Their friendship is a complicated one: Maria was kidnapped four years ago, the same sunmier that Amanda's father abandoned Amanda and her mother. These best friends must deal with various forms of loss: the loss of sexual innocence, the loss or "reinterpretation" of traditional father figures, the loss of believing in that ever elusive "happily ever after." The relationships in Always Talk to Strangers often grow and transform through subtle psychic undercurrents. Many thoughts and feelings of sadness, hope, and betrayal travel between the characters not through words but through body language and the innate understanding that we all carry our pasts with us. Our pasts, indeed, haunt us like ghosts: Amanda and Maria don't often verbally discuss the kidnapping or Amanda's father; Amanda and her mother don't discuss theman they've both lost, or their respective problems with marijuana and alcohol abuse; Amanda's mother and grandmother don't discuss their different religious and spiritual belief systems. Always Talk to Strangers is, in the end, a coming-of-age novel that shows us we are all composed of contradicting emotions and desires.

  • Paradise Pier California Screamin’
    05_559702_part5.qxd 7/23/04 11:40 AM Page 182 Part Five Disney’s California Adventure A Brave New Park The Walt Disney Company’s newest theme park, Disney’s California Adventure, held its grand opening on February 8, 2001. Already known as “DCA” among Disneyphiles, the park is a bouquet of contradictions conceived in Fantasyland, starved in utero by corporate Disney, and born into a hostile environment of Disneyland loyalists who believe they’ve been handed a second-rate theme park. The park is new but full of old technology. Its parts are stunningly beautiful, yet come together awk- wardly, failing to comprise a handsome whole. And perhaps most lamen- table of all, the California theme is impotent by virtue of being all-encompassing. The history of the park is another of those convoluted tales found only in Robert Ludlum novels and corporate Disney. Southern California Dis- ney fans began clamoring for a second theme park shortly after Epcot opened at Walt Disney World in 1982. Although there was some element of support within the Walt Disney Company, the Disney loyal had to content themselves with rumors and half-promises for two decades while they watched new Disney parks go up in Tokyo, Paris, and Florida. For years, Disney teasingly floated the “Westcot” concept, a California version of Epcot that was always just about to break ground. Whether a matter of procrastination or simply pursuing better opportunities elsewhere, the Walt DisneyCOPYRIGHTED Company sat on the sidelines while MATERIAL the sleepy community of Anaheim became a sprawling city and property values skyrocketed.

  • Copyright By- David Henry Jennings
    Copyright by- David Henry Jennings 1959 PRESIDENT WILSON'S TOUR IN SEPTEMBER, 1919: A STUDY OF FORCES OPERATING DURING THE LEAGUE OF NATIONS FIGHT DISSERTATION Presented in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree Doctor of Philosophy in the Graduate School of The Ohio State University t By DAVID HENRY JENNINGS, B. A ., A. M. ****** The Ohio State University 1958 Approved by A dviser Department of History PREFACE In view of the many articles and books occasioned by the recent Wilson Centennial and the current in te re st in American foreign policy, it is, indeed, surprising to note that no full length study of Wilson's transcontinental tour of September, 1919 exists. Present publication on the western trip is confined to individual chapters of longer works and b rief general essays.^ A communication from Arthur S. Link indicates that this topic w ill not receive extended coverage in his future volumes on Woodrow Wilson. The status of research indicates the need for a more complete account of the "Swing Around the Circle" than has hitherto been presented. It is hoped that this dissertation meets this need. The other major contribution of this thesis lies in the field of evaluation. The analysis of Wilson's "New Order" attempts to make a significant clarifi­ cation and synthesis in a relatively neglected area. The study, also, endeavors to identify the forces at work and appraise their effect on the League of Nations debate in September, 1919. Because present day opinion inclines toward the view that the transcontinental tour was a mistake, extended examination is undertaken to see why Wilson should have gone on the trip and why the tour failed.

Improvement Plan EXECUTIVE SUMMARY #" Improvement Plan Executive Summary Sustainable Playland Inc. (SPI) is pleased to present our Playland Improvement Plan (PIP) to restore and revitalize Playland Park for the 21st Century. Enhancing Playland for the benefit of the citizens of Westchester County and minimizing Playland’s burden on County Government is the goal of SPI’s Board of Directors that coincides with the long- held goals of County Leadership. SPI Board members are experienced and successful business leaders from a broad array of industries including finance, real estate development, and law, all of which gives SPI’s board a unique perspective. In addition, SPI plans to engage professional park management and has been working with Biederman Redevelopment Ventures to serve in that role. The PIP outlines a work plan and a new path for Playland around an exciting development and stewardship framework for the future of the park. SPI is committed to being a partner with the county government in resolving the issues facing Playland Park. This public-private partnership model was recommended in the 2006 Playland Master Plan. The work plan is a multi-year and multi-million dollar vision that has many challenges but great opportunities as well.
