The Joint Center for Poverty Research is affiliated with the Irving B. Harris School of Public Policy Studies at the University of Chicago and with the Institute for Policy Research at Northwestern University Much of the research and debate over poverty, welfare reform, and food assistance programs has centered on our nation's inner cities. But while poverty has become more urbanized over the past several decades, most poor and welfare-recipient families live outside of central cities, and substantial minorities live outside of metropolitan areas altogether. As indicated by Food Stamp, TANF, and Medicaid caseload patterns, welfare reform appears to have distinct geographic components as well. The changes in welfare programs and food assistance policies have generated considerable debate about how people in rural areas will fare under the new system. To further our understanding of the rural dimension of poverty and welfare reform and enable more informed policy judgments about the effects of reforms on rural people and places, conference organizers seek high quality research papers on rural or rural/urban comparative dimensions of the following kinds of topics:

http://www.mtholyoke.edu/acad/polit/damy/OrderDesk/barber.htm

Extractions: The story of proportional representation in the United States is an important one for contemporary politics. The phrase proportional representation describes an electoral system that allows the majority to elect a majority of representatives while also enabling minority groups to win their fair share of seats on a city council or legislature. Although some think of proportional representation as an untried option, there were at one time twenty-two cities in the United States using proportional representation to elect their councils. Little is known about the experience of these cities, and this book seeks to fill that historical gap. Kathleen L. Barber locates the roots of proportional representation (PR) in the late eighteenth-century debate about how best to establish a modern democratic state. In the Progressive Era, proportional representation by single transferable vote (PR/STV) was promoted by American reformers as a tool for wresting power from corrupt party bosses and, at the same time, providing representation to partisan minorities and Independents. At the heart of this examination are case studies of five Ohio cities between 1915 and 1960 that elected their councils by PR/STV. In Ashtabula, Cleveland, Cincinnati, Hamilton, and Toledo, minorities were indeed successful in winning representation on city councils: Independents, African Americans, and ethnic minorities broke through their previous exclusion from seats at the council table. These results were not always welcome, however, and helped to make the electoral system controversial. But the increase in conflict and instability in governance predicted by opponents of PR did not appear. The book concludes with an analysis of the relevance of alternative electoral systems to Voting Rights Act cases and the contemporary "right to representation."

Extractions: 1049A Derby Hall, 154 North Oval Mall, Columbus, Oh 43210-1361 Yuri is a human geographer with research and teaching interests in urban and regional geography. His current particular focus is the theory and empirical evidence of a regional maturity in developed nations. This includes the revival of regions in Russia: an inevitable stage after the over-centralization of the Soviet period, and a stage for the urban hierarchies to move to the phase of regional metropolises. The research findings of 1994-99 give evidence that competitors of Moscow step up: in conditions when Russia has, at last, entered into the terminal stage of urbanization with the steep absolute decreases of population in millionaire cities and in Moscow, first of all. Methodologically, his research employs rigorous hypothesis testing in examining the magnitude of regional patterns that, initially, result from and, at later stages, re-shape activities undertaken by numerous societal actors. Lately, he increasingly couples this methodology with the GIS techniques. Origins for the methodology are in the high risk area analysis that Yuri developed in his research work at the World Health Organization (Ecology Unit Chief, 1968-72). Later, he founded the Human Ecology Laboratory at Moscow's Institute of Geography for re-applying the same approach to Soviet realities, which led to hash experiences and, eventually to his leaving the USSR in 1986.

Extractions: Photo Dan Raber, Loudon TN The Los Lunas Inscription is an abridged version of the Decalogue or Ten Commandments, carved into the flat face of a large boulder resting on the side of Hidden Mountain, near Los Lunas, New Mexico, about 35 miles south of Albuquerque. The language is Hebrew, and the script is the Old Hebrew alphabet, with a few Greek letters mixed in. See Cline (1982), Deal (1984), Stonebreaker (1982), Underwood (1982), and/or Neuhoff (1999) for transcriptions and translation, and Deal (1984) for discussion and photographs of the setting. George Moorehouse (1985), a professional geologist, indicates that the boulder is of the same basalt as the cap of the mesa. He estimates its weight at 80 to 100 tons, and says it has moved about 2/3 of the distance from the mesa top to the valley floor since it broke off. The inscription is tilted about 40 degrees clockwise from horizontal, indicating that the stone has settled or even moved from its position at the time it was inscribed. (The above photograph was taken with a tilted camera.) In 1996, Prof. James D. Tabor of the Dept. of Religious Studies, University of North Carolina - Charlotte, interviewed Professor Frank Hibben, a local historian and retired archaeologist from the University of New Mexico, "who is convinced that the inscription is ancient and thus authentic. He reports that he first saw the text in 1933. At the time it was covered with lichen and patination and was hardly visible. He was taken to the site by a guide who had seen it as a boy, back in the 1880s."

At the time of his appointment, Dr. Brooks was 53 and director of the Institute for Health Sciences and associate vice president for biomedical development at Brown University in Providence, R.I. He had joined the Rhode Island school in 1957. He took charge of MCO July 1, 1966, and soon began to build a faculty. At that time, the college had one employee, the secretary of the board of trustees. Dr. Brooks' starting salary was $30,000 with a $5,000 expense account. Many problems engaged the attention of Dr. Brooks, notably finding a location for the new medical school, securing operational and capital funds, and recruiting faculty members, particularly department chairmen.

Also, I could have a TA, RA, or GA job to support myself instead of paying expensive tuition fees to those design Schools. what do you like about Columbus? I think Columbus is more interesting than people think and what I expected. There is so much to discover believe it or not. If some people tell you Columbus is boring, don't believe them. They might not have any chance to explore Columbus. Honestly, I have spent two years here, but still there are so many things to see. I haven't finished my discovering yet.
