Linguistic Geography Of Pennsylvania Seems to extend slightly into northern maryland. Urban Centers Harrisburg,Lancaster, Status as major port city has made it receptive to trade words. http://www.evolpub.com/Americandialects/PennaDialMap.html
Extractions: The above map is historically skewed, in that boundaries follow the most modern studies when possible, but where current information is not available the boundaries must often reflect the 1939 LAMSAS data. At certain points the modern and older studies clearly conflict: Schuylkill County with its consistent monophthongization would have been better classified with the Lehigh Valley and Reading in 1939; today, its acceptance of the low back merger shows that it clearly belongs to the Anthracite region.

Demographic And Socioeconomic Projects Historical geography of Urban Forestry and Roadside Tree Planting in Baltimore.According to the maryland Department of Natural Resources, trees are major http://www.beslter.org/frame4-page_3d_22.html
Extractions: According to the Maryland Department of Natural Resources, "trees are major capital assets in America's cities and towns. Just as streets, sidewalks, sewers, public buildings and recreational facilities are a part of a community's infrastructure, so are publicly owned trees. Trees ? and, collectively, the urban forest ? are important assets that require care and maintenance the same as other public property." As numerous studies have shown, urban trees carry out important social and ecological functions. They diminish air and noise pollution, reduce soil erosion, support a diverse array of plant and animal life, and influence local climate. From a social perspective, urban trees and forests add "natural character" to the urban scene, "screen harsh scenery," and "soften the outline of masonry, metal and glass." They may also "increase economic stability," improve local business, and even reduce crime rates. ( www.dnr.state.md.us

GBC Gaming Report Baltimore City s revenue picture provides the background for the consideration of Should it choose to expand gaming activities, maryland s geography, http://www.gbc.org/reports/gaming.htm
Extractions: During the last 18 months, the Greater Baltimore Committee has been examining the issues related to gaming. We began before there were any specific proposals before the Maryland General Assembly. We thought that it was important to have a factual basis for any position that we might take. Toward that end, the GBC commissioned two separate studies to assist the work of the GBC's Policy Study Group that was charged with giving advice to our Board of Directors. One study, conducted by Hunter Associates, Inc., examined the economic impact of various gaming options that might be considered in Maryland. The second study, conducted by Dr. Peter Reuter of the University of Maryland, looked at the potential social costs associated with gaming. When we began our review of gaming, the GBC did not intend to make a proposal for or against new forms of gaming in Maryland. Our intention, instead, was to be prepared to enter the debate, should there be a specific and serious effort to expand gaming. Our primary motivation in studying gaming was to be sure that, in any consideration, the best interests of the Baltimore region were taken into account. There have been indications that legislation to authorize slots at racetracks will be introduced and seriously considered this year in the General Assembly. In light of this, and the substantial study that the GBC has given the gaming issue, we offer the results of our study and an alternative approach to gaming.

CensusCD Geography And Data Info Explains the level of geography for the 1990 Census data. In somestates (Louisiana, Alaska, maryland, Missouri, Nevada, and Virginia), these divisions http://www.columbia.edu/acis/eds/dset_guides/censuscd/censuscd-yonca.html
Extractions: Page The Census Bureau polls 100% of the households in the US with a brief questionnaire asking a limited number of questions about every household member and a number of questions about the household itself every ten years. For learning about the lives of people, the Census Bureau sends a longer questionanaire, i.e. "the long form", to two samples of households (a 5% and a 1% of sample of all households), which asks very detailed questions about the members of the household and of the household itself. To this invaluable core data, GeoLytics has added Estimates (1997) and Projections (2002) of both Demographic (population, housing, income, etc.) and Consumer Spending Data (amount households spend on categories like clothing, food, etc.) for five geographic levels - census block group, census tract, zip code, county, and state. GeoLytics also included 26 categories of US County Time Series Statistics which provide information on subjects such as Crime, Federal Spending, Agriculture, Industry, Employment, Vital Statistics, and much more, for each of the 3,000 counties in the United States. The core set of data in Census CD+Maps is for 16 levels of geography with the smallest being the Census Block Group. The territority of the US is organized hierarchically for the purposes of subdividing the population.
