Washington Acting Director Phoenix, Arizona 85007 Phone: (602) 542-4035 FAX: (602) 542-4972 Dear Colleague: This year, Arizona and Kentucky are embarking on a joint venture with their summer reading programs. We are drawing on the talentsof both states for the artistry, the manual, and combined purchasing power for the promotional items. This has been an exciting venture in library cooperation! This year's theme for the reading program is, Book a Trip to the Stars.The Kentucky artist has captured the essence of space travel and reading in her drawings, and the crafts, bibliographies and space ideas in the manual are a combination of the time and talents of the Arizona Children Services librarians. I hope that the materials presented in the manual and the posters, promotional items and clip art will enhance and embellish your summer reading program as we explore the avenues of space and astronomy! We at the Arizona Department of Library, Archives and Public Records wish you a wonderful reading summer! Sincerely Mary Johns Acting Director An Equal Employment Opportunity Agency Paul E. Patton, Governor eoy P Peterson, Secretary Education, Arts & Humanities Cabinet Kentucky Department for Libraries & Archives James A. Nelson, State Librarian An agency of the Education, Arts & Humanities Cabinet and Commissioner Dear Colleague: One might ask, "Why are the states of Arizona and Kentuckydoing a summer reading program together?" My answer wouldbe that it is because we have the talent to share, the creative idea of doing this, and a sincere belief that reading is basic toeverything we do and are as a people, and it starts with reading with our children. In many ways, our states are very similar, very close to 3.7million population for both. Arizona has its Phoenix and Tucson, Kentucky has Louisville andLexington, but there is a lot of rural between and aroundthese great cities. What we also have in common this summer is an abiding interest inastronomy...and booking "a trip to the stars". So, as Kentucky children launch their trips to the stars, theywill look to meet fellow space travelers from Arizona. Just asthe American and Russian space travelers share this other worldly experience, so will our children, but through thecreative efforts of all of you, not in the confines of a spaceship. As we look to the stars duiing this summer program, we will join in our sharedmission to excite another generation about the liberating skill of reading.

    Draft version February 25, 2020 Typeset using LATEX preprint style in AASTeX62 Photometric analyses of Saturn's small moons: Aegaeon, Methone and Pallene are dark; Helene and Calypso are bright. M. M. Hedman,1 P. Helfenstein,2 R. O. Chancia,1, 3 P. Thomas,2 E. Roussos,4 C. Paranicas,5 and A. J. Verbiscer6 1Department of Physics, University of Idaho, Moscow, ID 83844 2Cornell Center for Astrophysics and Planetary Science, Cornell University, Ithaca NY 14853 3Center for Imaging Science, Rochester Institute of Technology, Rochester NY 14623 4Max Planck Institute for Solar System Research, G¨ottingen,Germany 37077 5APL, John Hopkins University, Laurel MD 20723 6Department of Astronomy, University of Virginia, Charlottesville, VA 22904 ABSTRACT We examine the surface brightnesses of Saturn's smaller satellites using a photometric model that explicitly accounts for their elongated shapes and thus facilitates compar- isons among different moons. Analyses of Cassini imaging data with this model reveals that the moons Aegaeon, Methone and Pallene are darker than one would expect given trends previously observed among the nearby mid-sized satellites. On the other hand, the trojan moons Calypso and Helene have substantially brighter surfaces than their co-orbital companions Tethys and Dione. These observations are inconsistent with the moons' surface brightnesses being entirely controlled by the local flux of E-ring par- ticles, and therefore strongly imply that other phenomena are affecting their surface properties. The darkness of Aegaeon, Methone and Pallene is correlated with the fluxes of high-energy protons, implying that high-energy radiation is responsible for darkening these small moons. Meanwhile, Prometheus and Pandora appear to be brightened by their interactions with nearby dusty F ring, implying that enhanced dust fluxes are most likely responsible for Calypso's and Helene's excess brightness.

  • Examining the Relationship Between Children's
    A Spoonful of Silly: Examining the Relationship Between Children’s Nonsense Verse and Critical Literacy by Bonnie Tulloch B.A., (Hons), Simon Fraser University, 2013 A THESIS SUBMITTED IN PARTIAL FULFILLMENT OF THE REQUIREMENTS FOR THE DEGREE OF MASTER OF ARTS in THE FACULTY OF GRADUATE AND POSTDOCTORAL STUDIES (Children’s Literature) THE UNIVERSITY OF BRITISH COLUMBIA (Vancouver) December 2015 © Bonnie Tulloch, 2015 Abstract This thesis interrogates the common assumption that nonsense literature makes “no sense.” Building off research in the fields of English and Education that suggests the intellectual value of literary nonsense, this study explores the nonsense verse of several North American children’s poets to determine if and how their play with language disrupts the colonizing agenda of children’s literature. Adopting the critical lenses of Translation Theory and Postcolonial Theory in its discussion of Dr. Seuss’s On Beyond Zebra! (1955) and I Can Read with My Eyes Shut! (1978), along with selected poems from Shel Silverstein’s Where the Sidewalk Ends (1974), A Light in the Attic (1981), Runny Babbit (2005), Dennis Lee’s Alligator Pie (1974), Nicholas Knock and Other People (1974), and JonArno Lawson’s Black Stars in a White Night Sky (2006) and Down in the Bottom of the Bottom of the Box (2012), this thesis examines how the foreignizing effect of nonsense verse exposes the hidden adult presence within children’s literature, reminding children that childhood is essentially an adult concept—a subjective interpretation (i.e., translation) of their lived experiences. Analyzing the way these poets’ nonsense verse deviates from cultural norms and exposes the hidden adult presence within children’s literature, this research considers the way their poetry assumes a knowledgeable implied reader, one who is capable of critically engaging with the text.

It currently offers more than 250 hours ofTexas-based programming each year, including Texas Monthly Talks and its popular local food program, Eat This! In addition, in September of2007, in conjunction with the PBS documentary The War, KWBU produced The War: Central Te...-as Remembers World War II, an outstanding local production highlighting the stories ofCentral Texas veterans and their families.
