The Natural State in a Time of Change
High-Expectations Relationships
Enacting high expectations for all students in the classroom is a complex undertaking. Underlying, out-of-awareness assumptions may lead to actions, behaviours or pedagogic choices that do not support these high expectations beliefs and intentions. For Indigenous education, this is compounded by public and professional discourses around deficit positioning, and by historical conditioning, where many Indigenous students do not see achieving in sch…
Partisanship and tax competition in the American states
Existing research identifies partisan differences in taxing choices made by state governments. Research has also found that, even when controlling for intrastate characteristics such as party, jurisdictions respond to the taxing decisions of their neighbours, particularly when citizens can easily cross-border shop. These studies treat political and competitive factors as independent influences on taxes. We suggest they are more likely to interact…
Fish Consumption Advisories
The New York State Attorney General's Environmental Protection Bureau undertook an effort to publicize fish consumption advisories regarding fish found in the waters around New York City. With informational brochures in English, Spanish, Chinese, Creole, and Russian, we reached out to minority and ethnic women who select and prepare family meals. To enhance the utility of the brochures, we illustrated the New York State Department of Health (NYSD…
Real Estate and Artistic Identity in Turn‐of‐the‐Century New York
In 1865 the National Academy of Design occupied its new polychrome, Ruskinian‐gothic building on Twenty‐third Street and Fourth Avenue in New York, designed by Peter B. Wight and affectionately known as the Doge’s Palace. Poet William Cullen Bryant gave the opening address, announcing, “After forty years of wandering, the academy has at length a fixed habitation” and noting that the completion of the building reflected the high status in which ar…
A Return to Civility
The presidential election of 2000 was remarkable in the razor-thin margin that ultimately separated electoral victor from the defeated can didate, yet in another way the contest was disappointingly ordinary, namely, in the uncivil tone that characterized both major party cam paigns. Divisive rhetoric, negative characterizations, and contests of shortcomings in place of comparisons of strengths now dominate American politics, and the past presiden…
Protecting privacy in the cyber era
Issues related to privacy and technology go to the heart of concepts of individual rights, corporate power, the role of government, and law enforcement needs. The author considers various means to protect individual privacy and concludes that encryption may be the best solution
Protecting intellectual property in cyberspace
In order to accommodate the increased Internet traffic of the past several years, the infrastructure of the Internet has grown, and has subsequently become more and more complex. The technological subtleties of expanding the Internet are not the only nor even the greatest problems associated with the growing cyberspace population. More troubling (to the Internet pioneers and purists) are the different visions these new Internet users have for the…

A Strategy for using Children's Literature to Extend the Social Studies Curriculum
The Effectiveness of Three Methods of Teaching Social Studies Concepts to Fourth-Grade Students
This study examined the effectiveness of three methods of teaching social studies concepts to fourth-grade students (Merrill & Tennyson’s model, Gagné’s model, and a reading-recitation method), tested two aptitude-treatment interactions, and tested three propositions concerning instructional designs for teaching concepts. Student achievement for the Merrill and Tennyson model was significantly (p < .001) greater than achievement reported for Gagn…
Teach Social Studies Concepts to First Grade Students? Research on the Merrill and Tennyson Model
Display and Analysis of Spatial Data
Optical Analysis of Two-Dimensional Patterns
The Fourier transform of an image can be measured or filtered to provide information concerning the distribution and orientation of features in that image. Illustrative examples of the technique are drawn from geomorphology, planning, and remote sensing. The first application concentrates on the analysis of fault systems, sediment textures, and drainage patterns. A rural area illustrates partial solution of an amenity planning problem by optical …
