Book Review: Town Ball, Scott D. Peterson

Communication Faculty Publications

This handsome volume would make an excellent addition to the coffee table book collection of any fan of amateur baseball, but it would also be of special interest to cultural and sports historians who specialize in the post-World War Two era and the upper Midwest. Just as its title hearkens back to the earliest days of baseball, Town Ball takes its readers to one of the last great heydays of the game and allows them to get lost among wooden bleachers under the cloud-filled skies of a Georgia O'Keefe painting.

Silvers, Cleo Interview 2, Bronx African American History Project

Oral Histories

In her second interview with the BAAHP, Cleo Silvers shifts her focus from her young life in Philadelphia to the beginnings of her activist life in New York City. Silvers’ first foray into the political life came with her involvement with the Lincoln Hospital takeovers in the South Bronx in the late 1960s. At just 19 or 20 years old, Silvers took a leading role in the occupation of the hospital, helping to form policy in the mental health field that would help transform one of the city’s worst hospitals. Treating only the poorest of South Bronx residents, Lincoln Hospital, …

Don Giovanni, Unlv Symphony Orchestra, Christine Seitz, George Stelluto

Opera

Don Giovanni premiered in Prague on October 27 1787, following the tremendous success of Mozart's opera Le nozze di Figaro (The marriage of Figaro) that premiered in Prague the previous year. Uniquely dubbed a 'dramma giocoso,' Don Giovanni was formed by Mozart and the librettist Lorenzo da Ponte (who also collaborated on Le nozze di Figaro) into a two-act opera that focuses on Don Juan's (Don Giovanni's) last day on Earth. Da Ponte, who was inspired by content from other operas dealing with the same subject, was acquainted with the famous libertine, Casanova. Legends claim that Casanova worked a few …

La Boheme, Taras Krysa, Phillip Lenberg

Opera

One of the most popular and beloved operas of all time, La Bohème was composed in December 1895 by Giacomo Puccini. He became interested in the Scènes de Ia vie de Bohème, a novel by Henri Murger in the winter of 1892-3, before the premiere of Manon Lescaut. His intention to base an opera on Murger's novel involved him in controversy with Leoncavallo, who claimed precedence on the novel in 1893 in his publisher's periodical, II secolo. Leoncavallo asserted that he already had artists in mind and that this fact was well known by Puccini. This …

Kitsch And Southwest Hybridity In The Art Of Ted De Grazia, Karen Jeanne Dalton

USF Tampa Graduate Theses and Dissertations

Ettore "Ted" De Grazia (1909-1982) spent his artistic life painting the Native American stories and peoples of the Arizona Southwest. His art was touted in the popular press and is still admired by tourists and newcomers to Arizona, but he was not taken seriously by academicians and art critics who refused to grant him artistic enfranchisement. Many labeled his work "kitsch," a term made popular by Clement Greenberg in his 1939 essay, " Avant-Garde and Kitsch." De Grazia's popular whimsical paintings of Native American children were considered too cute to have artistic merit.De Grazia, in spite of criticism to the …

Preparing Thinking Christians To Survive And Thrive In A Culture Of Choice, Scott Sommerfeld

Doctor of Ministry Major Applied Project

Sommerfeld, Scott G. "Preparing Thinking Christians To Survive And Thrive In A Culture Of Choice." D.Min. Major Applied Project, Concordia Seminary—St. Louis, 2007. 211 pp.

Youth are ill-prepared to think and live as Christians in our post-modern world. A retreat for high school seniors and graduates is one way of preparing youth to survive and thrive in a culture of choice, where perhaps the greatest challenge regards rationality for choosing ones religion. Here youth are introduced to the real truth regarding the Bible, choosing God, and living as disciples. While youth were assisted in thinking theologically through the retreat, this …

Simd Algorithms For Single Link And Complete Link Pattern Clustering, Shankar Arumugavelu

USF Tampa Graduate Theses and Dissertations

Clustering techniques play an important role in exploratory pattern analysis, unsupervised pattern recognition and image segmentation applications. Clustering algorithms are computationally intensive in nature. This thesis proposes new parallel algorithms for Single Link and Complete Link hierarchical clustering. The parallel algorithms have been mapped on a SIMD machine model with a linear interconnection network. The model consists of a linear array of N (number of patterns to be clustered) processing elements (PEs), interfaced to a host machine and the interconnection network provides inter-PE and PE-to-host/host-to-PE communication. For single link clustering, each PE maintains a sorted list of its first logN …

Statistical Machine Translation Of Japanese, Erik A. Chapla

Theses and Dissertations

The purpose of this research was to find ways to improve the performance of a statistical machine translation system that translates text from Japanese to English. Methods included altering the training and test data by adding a prior linguistic knowledge, altering sentence structures, and looking for better ways to statistically alter the way words align between the two languages. In addition, methods for properly segmenting words in Japanese text through statistical methods were examined. Finally, experiments were conducted on Japanese speech to produce the best text transcription of the speech. The best statistical machine translation methods implemented resulted in improvements …
