  • PLS 101 - Lecture 17
    PLS 101 - Lecture 17 A couple of things I want to talk about. Weíll bring up the PowerPoint but I also wanted to show you something here about primaries as well. You know, we just had a recent election. If you think about it right now, here we are at the very beginning of March. Go back to a year from now. Again, this is gonna be somewhat dated on the TV, I think. If you go back a year from now, a year ago, what was going on in terms of the presidential race? Think about what was happening in February and March of last year. What was happening? If you picked up the paper, what would you have seen? [Inaudible student response] Yes. Primaries were going on. These were some of the individuals who were running for president about this time last year. They were going into the primaries. Dick Gephardt from Missouri was running for president. We forget about these names so quickly. John Edwards. Howard Dean. Joe Lieberman, a senator from Connecticut. Al Sharpon. Wesley Clark and John Kerry among others who were all running for president. They wanted to pursue and become the Democratic nominee for president. Who was running in the Republican primaries? Who else? Unopposed. Thatís right. It was just Bush. That was a trick question. All right. Now, I bring all this up because what we saw happening beginning in January all the way through May or June were state by state primaries. Weíre gonna talk about primaries quite a bit today, but there were state by state elections that were taking place to determine who was gonna be the nominee for president.

A partir de la experiencia de tres grupos de inmigran- tes mexicanos establecidos en la región metropolitana de Los Ángeles, mostramos la relevan- cia de la especificidad en la práctica religiosa y organizativa en las localidades de origen, para comprender los caminos elegidos por los migrantes para movilizar prácticas y creencias en la reconfiguración de su relación con las localidades de origen y destino. PALABRAS CLAVE: integración, religión, conversión religiosa, transnacionalismo, etnicidad. ABSTRACT: Religious practices and beliefs can constitute an important resource in the inte- gration process of migrants, however, the form and direction in which such resources are utilized may vary significantly even among migrant groups coming from the same country, established within the same region and who used to practice the same religion when starting their migration process.

  • Picking the Vice President
    Picking the Vice President Elaine C. Kamarck Brookings Institution Press Washington, D.C. Contents Introduction 4 1 The Balancing Model 6 The Vice Presidency as an “Arranged Marriage” 2 Breaking the Mold 14 From Arranged Marriages to Love Matches 3 The Partnership Model in Action 20 Al Gore Dick Cheney Joe Biden 4 Conclusion 33 Copyright 36 Introduction Throughout history, the vice president has been a pretty forlorn character, not unlike the fictional vice president Julia Louis-Dreyfus plays in the HBO seriesVEEP . In the first episode, Vice President Selina Meyer keeps asking her secretary whether the president has called. He hasn’t. She then walks into a U.S. senator’s office and asks of her old colleague, “What have I been missing here?” Without looking up from her computer, the senator responds, “Power.” Until recently, vice presidents were not very interesting nor was the relationship between presidents and their vice presidents very consequential—and for good reason. Historically, vice presidents have been understudies, have often been disliked or even despised by the president they served, and have been used by political parties, derided by journalists, and ridiculed by the public. The job of vice president has been so peripheral that VPs themselves have even made fun of the office. That’s because from the beginning of the nineteenth century until the last decade of the twentieth century, most vice presidents were chosen to “balance” the ticket. The balance in question could be geographic—a northern presidential candidate like John F. Kennedy of Massachusetts picked a southerner like Lyndon B.

P.O. Box 250 Ellerslie, Georgia 31807 Principal Investigator, Daniel T. Elliott _________________________________ April 2002 Abstract Archaeological data recovery at the Hannah’s Quarter site (9Jf195) in rural Jefferson County, Georgia was conducted by Southern Research Historic Preservation Consultants in 2001. This project was performed for the Georgia Department of Transportation through a contract with Earth Tech in Raleigh, NC as Section 106 compliance in advance of the Fall Line Freeway construction. The archaeological study uncovered a small residential compound from the late eighteenth through early nineteenth centuries. Three dwelling loci and one possible outbuilding locus were delineated. The occupation at this site was evidenced by a series of cultural features, including pits, posts, and cellars and extremely sparse material culture evidence. The settlement began as part of the Queensborough Township, which was populated by Scots-Irish Presbyterians from northern Ireland from about 1768 to 1772. William Hannah was identified as a strong candidate for being the original owner of the property at 9Jf195.

  • 2022 Comprehensive Economic Development Strategy (Ceds)
    2017 – 2022 COMPREHENSIVE ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT STRATEGY (CEDS) For Economic Prosperity in a Thriving Middle Georgia DRAFT – FOR PUBLIC COMMENT ONLY Prepared for: U.S. Economic Development Administration Middle Georgia Economic Development District 1 Executive Summary When charting the course for the Middle Georgia Economic Development District for the next five, ten, and twenty years, regional leaders focused on one adjective: THRIVING. In times where it seems overly difficult for a community to simply survive, the goal must be to aim higher. Middle Georgia seeks to be a diverse region of opportunity, where people want to live, learn, work, and play. This guiding vision drives the Middle Georgia Comprehensive Economic Development Strategy (CEDS) toward the end goal of increasing economic prosperity for all within the region. Certainly, there are challenges in the Middle Georgia region. Economically, the region lags behind most other regions in terms of the well-being of its residents; many individuals find themselves out of work and without the necessary skills to obtain employment. Middle Georgia also tends to fall behind others in innovation. The leading edge of industry is too often found elsewhere, with Middle Georgia struggling to catch up. However, many of the resources necessary to undertake a regional transformation are already in place. A number of industries are poised to see significant growth in Middle Georgia, and a renewed focus on fostering entrepreneurship in the region has the potential to drive new growth and development. The greatest need over the next five years is to support projects which increase the region’s capacity for continued growth and adequately position Middle Georgia to capitalize on growing trends in the national market.

Murphy by Carter Manny, in our collection of oral histories of Chicago architects. Carter Manny, a close associate of Murphy's, deserves our lasting thanks for his perception in recognizing the historical significance of Murphy's so often casually told stories and for his efforts to given them permanent form. It is an important addition to our collection because it brings to light many aspects of the practice of architecture in Chicago in the early years that only a privileged few could address. We share Carter's regret that we could not have had more of Murphy's recollections, but are indeed appreciative for what is here.
