Most residents of Blueville liked policemen a lot, “My Beacon Hill Institute will make up a fake study, But the Grinch at the State House, And since we both hate cops, Deval, well, he certainly DID NOT! you’ll be my new buddy!” The Grinch hated cops! No one quite knows the reason. He hooked the buffoon to the front of his sleigh, (But he especially hates them after post-election season!) And slid down the street to old Area A. It could be the fact he was an elitist, rich fraud, He ran to the guardroom, and grabbed the fake tree, Or it could be the fact that he thought he was God! Then dashed away, dashed away toward Area D. But I think that the most likely reason of all, He had worked for the feds as a liberal attorney, Was he wasn’t invited to the police relief’s ball! So he spit at the cops, and continued his journey. From on top Beacon Hill, at the House of the State, He dashed past B-2, at the cops he just leered, He stared down at the cops, his heart filled with hate. (But he dared not stop there, “I screwed them on details, I killed their Quinn bill, ‘cause of crime he was scared.) And their union’s existence makes me physically ill!” At the top of his lungs, he shrieked like a girl, “I hate them damn cops, in ways I can’t mention, And his lips were pursed up in a grinchy-ish curl. So I know what I’ll do now… He stopped at each station, and stole what he could, I’LL GO AFTER THEIR PENSION”! Details, Insurance and even some wood! “I have an idea,” the Grinch laughed in his throat. Then he dashed for the State House on old Beacon Hill, And he made a quick Santy Claus hat and a coat. Where he hoped that his sleigh-ride “All I need is a reindeer,” so the Grinch looked around. would make the cops ill. But since reindeer were scarce, “Pooh, pooh to the cops,” he was grinch-ishly humming, Or, “Why a there was none to be found. “They’re finding out now that no Christmas is coming.” diminutive, pathetic “To carry my baggage, I need a real jerk,” Then the Grinch heard a sound rising over the snow, Governor who was And next door at Suffolk, It started in low – then… it started to grow. again elected by he found Professor Dave Tuerck.

The following, therefore, is just a partial consideration of those who deserve credit for this dissertation. The faculty of California State University, Sacramento, particularly Chloe Burke, Frank Garosi, Charles Postel, Brian Schoen, and Mona Siegel, encouraged me through their words and deeds to become a historian. Robert Dimit and Robin Nagle offered me further encouragement at New York University. Without the advice of Peter Wosh, I would have not been able to obtain a foothold as a scholar, and his continued support has been one of the things keeping me going throughout this project. At the University of California, Riverside, I have had the fortunate experience of having many scholars whom have been willing to offer their support over the last seven years.

  • Nczoo Society
    PERSPECTIVE Dear Members and Donors: As in 2003, the Zoo Society’s 2004 net declined slightly due to a significant drop in one category: estate gifts. Every other category increased: membership dues, gift shop sales, corporate gifts and sponsorships, direct donations and special events. As a result, the Zoo Society’s 2004 net of $3,200,761 more than kept pace with Zoo funding requests. In all, the Zoo Society transferred $2,740,894 in grants to the N.C. Zoo. These grants enriched the lives of animals and advanced the cause of conservation around the world. Society grants supported art projects, innovative education programs, and important conserva- tion research. They also made the zoo experience more meaningful and fun for visitors. Yet it would not be unreasonable to say that our greatest successes in 2004 may be in the foundations laid for the future. We made great strides toward raising the $6 million we will need for the Watani Grasslands project. This expansion of the African plains exhibits will make the N.C. Zoo a world leader in elephant and rhinoceros conservation, and will create an unequalled immersion experience for visitors. Another important initiative, the Valerie H. Schindler Wildlife Learning Center, promises virtually limitless possibilities for the future of conservation education and research, and for expanding the Zoo’s reach far beyond the Park itself. All of this is made possible by the generosity of donors like you. Ultimately, members and donors are the N.C. Zoo Society, so the Zoo and Zoo Society want to thank all of our members, donors and friends for the trust and support they have given us in 2004.

Even distributed training takes inordinate time, of which a large fraction is spent in communicating weights and gradients over the network.
