Ruggeri, UCEA Events Manager Buena Vista Palace Hotel Orlando, Florida 2 UCEA PRESIDENTIAL WELCOME It is my pleasure to welcome you to Orlando, Florida for the twenty-second Annual UCEA Convention. This year’s conference theme, Preparing Democratic Educational Leaders To Foster Quality Teaching And Student Success: A Time For Action, is a call to faculty and practitioners to revisit one of UCEA’s fundamental objectives, i.e., improving the preparation of school leaders, particularly as it relates to improvements in the academic and affective performance of students. To this end, the 2008 convention features paper sessions, symposia, conversations/dialogues, poster sessions, point-counterpoint sessions, innovative sessions and international community-building sessions that will explore how research and theory can better inform the preparation of school leaders, as well as to analyze the role of university-based leadership programs in influencing educational decision-making at the federal, state, and local levels. President-elect James W. Koschoreck (University of Cincinnati) and his program co-chairs, Floyd D. Beachum (University of Wisconsin – Milwaukee) and Jeffrey S. Brooks (Auburn University), are to be applauded for putting together this exciting conference and challenging us to take a more active role in policy making about leadership and public education, rather than let such decisions continue to be made by others without our input. Highlighted presenters at this year’s conference, and the institutional support that allows us to offer such an incredible roster of speakers, include: the UCEA featured keynoter Jill Blackmore (Deakin University, sponsored by the University of Florida and the University of North Carolina - Chapel Hill); the Pennsylvania State University Mitstifer Lecture given by Susan Moore Johnson (Harvard University); the Texas A&M Social Justice Lecture featuring Kevin Jennings (Founder of the Gay, Lesbian, and Straight Education Network); and a presentation by Lisa Delpit (Florida International University, Center for Urban Education & Innovation), sponsored by Florida State University. I also wish to acknowledge several other institutions whose generosity and support make this year’s conference possible: Florida Atlantic University (Convention Host), University of Florida (Lanyards), Florida State University (Convention Totebags), Auburn University and Information Age Publishing (Award Sponsorship), University of Cincinnati (Sunday Breakfast), the University of Utah and the University at Buffalo/State University of New York and Clemson University (Jackson Scholar Events), the University of South Florida (Plenum Luncheon), and Sam Houston State University (Banquet Supplies). Finally, a conference as ambitious as this year’s would not be possible without the stellar planning and organizational coordination of UCEA Executive Director, Michelle Young, her convention coordinator, Christopher Ruggeri, and the fantastic team of graduate students they have working with them at the University of Texas – Austin: Pei-Ling Lee, Katherine Mansfield and Bradley Carpenter. To those new to UCEA, or coming to the conference for the first time, I welcome you to this incredible community of scholars. I encourage you to introduce yourself and become actively involved. To those of you who are returning, I welcome you back and encourage you to continue your active engagement in this wonderful, on-going conversation. Thanks again for coming to this year’s convention. I know that you will have a thought-provoking and fulfilling time at out conference, here in Orlando. Stephen L. Jacobson, 2007-2008 UCEA President The University at Buffalo/SUNY UCEA EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR WELCOME Welcome to Orlando and the University Council for Educational Administration’s 22nd Annual Convention. Much of the discourse in our field this year has focused on the purpose of lead- ership preparation—preparing leaders for what kinds of leadership positions and responsibilities?—and how leadership preparation should be constructed and delivered to support quality leadership. With these questions in mind, UCEA’s President Elect, James Koschoreck (University of Cincinnati) and his Convention Planning Committee, consisting of Floyd Beachum (University of Wisconsin- Milwaukee), Jeffrey Brooks (Auburn University), and Meredith Mountford (Florida Atlantic University), have planned a meeting that focuses on Preparing Democratic Educational Leaders To Foster Quality Teaching And Student Success: A Time For Action. The UCEA convention theme impels us to engage in serious thought regarding the purposes of schooling and leadership and the implications of such purposes for the preparation and career development of educational leaders. The concept of democratic, purpose-driven leadership will be taken up in a number of regular sessions and town hall meetings. I’m sure you will find these sessions stimulating. The convention program this year is a strong indication of the important research, conversations and practices taking place within higher education leadership programs and partner organizations. A substantial number of sessions are focused around issues of leadership preparation, including several working sessions and conversations focused on program evaluation, curriculum design, pedagogy, the newly revised ISLLC standards, and ELCC program reviews. I encourage all of you to make use of this opportunity to share re- search, experiences, and perspectives on the important preparation and development work you do with current and future leaders. In addition to general sessions, governance meets, pre-and post-convention workshops and more than 0 concurrent sessions, the planning committee has set aside time for convention participants to network and share best practices. This meeting promises to be a good opportunity to meet with colleagues, to make new connections, and to share a common commitment to preparing effective school and school system leaders. Many thanks to all of those institutions and individuals who have contributed to the success of our 2008 Annual Convention. In particular, my thanks go out to the 2008 Convention Committee for a job well done and to our Convention Host, Florida Atlantic University, which contributed to this meeting in countless ways. My thanks to our other sponsors, including the University of Florida, Florida State University, Auburn University, Information Age Publishing, University of Cincinnati, the University of Utah, the University of Buffalo/State University of New York, Clemson University, the University of South Florida, and Sam Houston

    EMPIRICAL MODELING OF REGIONAL STREAM HABITAT QUALITY USING GIS-DERIVED WATERSHEDS OF FLEXIBLE SCALE DISSERTATION Presented in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree Doctor of Philosophy in the Graduate School of the Ohio State University By Sanjeev Arya, B.Arch. (Hons.), M.C.R.P. * * * * * The Ohio State University 2002 Dissertation Committee: Approved by Dr. Steven I. Gordon, Adviser Dr. Hazel A. Morrow-Jones __________________________________ Adviser Dr. Carolyn J. Merry City and Regional Planning Program Dr. Kenneth T. Pearlman Copyright © by Sanjeev Arya 2002 ABSTRACT Two new watershed-delineation approaches are used to build statistical regression models that explain the variations in Qualitative Habitat Evaluation Index (QHEI) scores at hundreds of sites in the Eastern Corn Belt Plains ecoregion of Ohio. Hydrologically contributing areas upstream of the sampling stations are delineated using 1) non- overlapping watersheds up to the next upstream sampling station, and 2) custom watershed areas, called localsheds, delineated only up to a user-specified upstream flow- length. Both approaches provide an insight into the scale effects of various stressors. A large GIS-intensive database is developed with fine-resolution data on 30 m DEM, 1:24,000 scale roads and streams with network topology, proportionally allocated census block demography, and 30 m land cover characteristics. Stream order, reach sinuosity, and upstream network distances are derived using macro programming. The models explain more than 40% of the variation in habitat quality using stressor-related data within hydrologically connected areas that are only a mile upstream of the sampling sites. The results confirm the utility of the localshed framework and suggest that riparian row crops, commercial, and urban land uses in narrow strips, relatively broad swaths of deciduous forest, stream channelization, reach sinuosity, and stream order have a significant impact on the habitat immediately downstream of stress locations.
  • Ruth Prawer Jhabvala's Adapted Screenplays

    Ruth Prawer Jhabvala's Adapted Screenplays

    Absorbing the Worlds of Others: Ruth Prawer Jhabvala’s Adapted Screenplays By Laura Fryer Submitted in fulfilment of the requirements of a PhD degree at De Montfort University, Leicester. Funded by Midlands 3 Cities and the Arts and Humanities Research Council. June 2020 i Abstract Despite being a prolific and well-decorated adapter and screenwriter, the screenplays of Ruth Prawer Jhabvala are largely overlooked in adaptation studies. This is likely, in part, because her life and career are characterised by the paradox of being an outsider on the inside: whether that be as a European writing in and about India, as a novelist in film or as a woman in industry. The aims of this thesis are threefold: to explore the reasons behind her neglect in criticism, to uncover her contributions to the film adaptations she worked on and to draw together the fields of screenwriting and adaptation studies. Surveying both existing academic studies in film history, screenwriting and adaptation in Chapter 1 -- as well as publicity materials in Chapter 2 -- reveals that screenwriting in general is on the periphery of considerations of film authorship. In Chapter 2, I employ Sandra Gilbert’s and Susan Gubar’s notions of ‘the madwoman in the attic’ and ‘the angel in the house’ to portrayals of screenwriters, arguing that Jhabvala purposely cultivates an impression of herself as the latter -- a submissive screenwriter, of no threat to patriarchal or directorial power -- to protect herself from any negative attention as the former. However, the archival materials examined in Chapter 3 which include screenplay drafts, reveal her to have made significant contributions to problem-solving, characterisation and tone.

We provide hope and support for affected individuals and their families through research, advocacy and awareness of these devastating diseases. MPS CLASSIFICATIONS Mucopolysaccharidoses (MPS) and related diseases are genetic lysosomal storage diseases caused by the body’s inability to produce specific enzymes. Normally, the body uses enzymes to break down and recycle materials in cells. In individuals with MPS and related diseases, the missing or insufficient enzyme prevents the proper recycling process, resulting in the storage of materials in virtually every cell of the body. As a result, cells do not perform properly and may cause progressive damage throughout the body, including the heart, bones, joints, respiratory system and central nervous system. While the disease may not be apparent at birth, signs and symptoms develop with age as more cells become damaged by the accumulation of cell materials.

They had their own sound, an eerie glamour surrounding a dark whimsicality, yet fans flocked to them throughout the '80s and '90s. Commercial or cult favorites, they're impressive as being one of the '80s' seminal bands who culled more than 30 critical singles. Compilations like 1986's Staring at the Sea: The Singles and 1997's Galore showcased the Cure's accessibility; therefore, having a solid greatest-hits collection might be a bit nonessential. Then again, releasing an album like this at the tip of the new millennium calls for a celebration, and that's what the Cure did.
