KINNEY ATLANTIC NEWS STAFF WRITER There are really two types of ghost story. Oh sure, we all know the tale of the young couple on Lover’s Lane who get mixed up with ta hook-handed convict with a penchant for snuffing youngsters. Cyan But, then there is the other ghost story. The one that people don’t like to talk about. Magenta It’s the chill that crawls across the skin in a room clearly warmed by the sun. It’s footsteps in empty rooms, lights turning on or off without reason, phantom knocks on the door, or doors Yellow opening and closing on their own. Or it’s that one particular item that you put down, only for it to go missing and later returning where you thought it would be in the first place. Black The Seacoast area is ripe with stories of haunts, spooks, specters, poltergeists and other paranormal activity. Some well known, others less so.

A 7/2001) 1033 Educational Technology Philosophy The National Assessment of Educational Progress (NAEP) has tracked student achievement for nearly three decades. In 1996, the results of the NAEP indicated a link between certain kinds of technology use, higher scores on the NAEP, and an improved school climate.1 It is important to note that not all types of technology use produced these results. In fact, the results indicated that the use of computers for "drill and practice" may result in decreased student scores. The technology use that proved most beneficial centered on using the computer for simulation, problem solving and analysis. The computer's most powerful uses are for making things visual," says James Kaput, a math professor at the University of Massachusetts-Dartmouth. "It can make visual abstract processes that that are otherwise ineffable." As an organization, NHA focuses on delivering a "back to basics" approach to education based on research to generate student performance results. NHA's philosophy is grounded in the premise that the primary educational focus in elementary school should be mastering the core academic subjects of English, reading, mathematics, history, and science. Use of technology within the framework of the core academic curriculum must be age appropriate and must enhance the learning process.

    RACING, REGION, AND THE ENVIRONMENT: A HISTORY OF AMERICAN MOTORSPORTS By DANIEL J. SIMONE A DISSERTATION PRESENTED TO THE GRADUATE SCHOOL OF THE UNIVERSITY OF FLORIDA IN PARTIAL FULFILLMENT OF THE REQUIREMENTS FOR THE DEGREE OF DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY UNIVERSITY OF FLORIDA 2009 1 © 2009 Daniel J. Simone 2 To Michael and Tessa 3 ACKNOWLEDGMENTS A driver fails without the support of a solid team, and I thank my friends, who supported me lap-after-lap. I learned a great deal from my advisor Jack Davis, who when he was not providing helpful feedback on my work, was always willing to toss the baseball around in the park. I must also thank committee members Sean Adams, Betty Smocovitis, Stephen Perz, Paul Ortiz, and Richard Crepeau as well as University of Florida faculty members Michael Bowen, Juliana Barr, Stephen Noll, Joseph Spillane, and Bill Link. I respect them very much and enjoyed working with them during my time in Gainesville. I also owe many thanks to Dr. Julian Pleasants, Director Emeritus of the Samuel Proctor Oral History Program, and I could not have finished my project without the encouragement provided by Roberta Peacock. I also thank the staff of the Samuel Proctor Oral History Program. Finally, I will always be grateful for the support of David Danbom, Claire Strom, Jim Norris, Mark Harvey, and Larry Peterson, my former mentors at North Dakota State University. A call must go out to Tom Schmeh at the National Sprint Car Hall of Fame, Suzanne Wise at the Appalachian State University Stock Car Collection, Mark Steigerwald and Bill Green at the International Motor Racing Resource Center in Watkins Glen, New York, and Joanna Schroeder at the (former) Ethanol Promotion and Information Council (EPIC).
