USIA - Portrait Of The USA, Ch. 2 This chapter examines American geography, history, and customs through the Kentucky, Tennessee, north carolina, South carolina, Georgia, Alabama, http://usinfo.state.gov/usa/infousa/facts/factover/ch2.htm
Extractions: high temperatures on a given day in the United States to reach 70 degrees Fahrenheit (about 40 degrees Celsius). The United States owes much of its national character and its wealth to its good fortune in having such a large and varied landmass to inhabit and cultivate. Yet the country still exhibits marks of regional identity, and one way Americans cope with the size of their country is to think of themselves as linked geographically by certain traits, such as New England self-reliance, southern hospitality, midwestern wholesomeness, western mellowness. This chapter examines American geography, history, and customs through the filters of six main regions: New England , made up of Maine, New Hampshire, Vermont, Massachusetts, Connecticut, and Rhode Island. The Middle Atlantic , comprising New York, New Jersey, Pennsylvania, Delaware, and Maryland. The South , which runs from Virginia south to Florida and west as far as central Texas. This region also includes West Virginia, Kentucky, Tennessee, North Carolina, South Carolina, Georgia, Alabama, Mississippi, Arkansas, Louisiana, and parts of Missouri and Oklahoma. The Midwest , a broad collection of states sweeping westward from Ohio to Nebraska and including Michigan, Indiana, Wisconsin, Illinois, Minnesota, Iowa, parts of Missouri, North Dakota, South Dakota, Kansas, and eastern Colorado.

Careers In Geography City and County Government Anderson, SC Division of Community Planning and north carolina Division of Soil and Water Conservation Raleigh, NC http://www.uncg.edu/geo/careers.html
Extractions: The outward movement of people and economic activities away from the city in recent years has continued the need for formal regional planning. Planners guide growth in the urban-rural fringe and plan for revitalization of central cities. Increased awareness of the impact of population growth on the environment has also increased and the demand for trained personnel to work toward solutions to environmental problems. Geographic Information Science (GIS) provides tools necessary to efficiently undertake urban planning projects and study contemporary environmental issues. These systems have opened a whole new realm of career opportunities. The Department works closely with planning agencies, environmental groups, federal mapping agencies, the Census Bureau, chambers of commerce, and numerous businesses. Many of our graduates are employed in urban planning in areas such as zoning ordinances, subdivision regulations, comprehensive land use plans, sign ordinances, and thoroughfare plans. Others find rewarding careers in business and government. Other career opportunities include environmental protection, meteorology, market analysis, and regional specialties. Graduates also enter careers directly or indirectly related to cartography, remote sensing, and GIS. The Department of Geography at UNCG facilitates paid internships and research opportunities for students. Many of these interns find employment in the same agencies after graduation. By the department offering a flexible course schedule, students may find it possible to hold jobs while pursuing their degree in geography.

O'Neal Botanical Gardens in the heart of Road Town, Tortola, on the 30th October, 2003. In the run up to GIS Day, 20 schools across 4 islands were visited to give a presentation on GIS and test the 10-year-old children about their geography. The winners from each school were gathered together for GIS Day to take part in a Geo-Quiz, and the four finalists were given a host of prizes. Winner Amal Taylor from BVI 7th Day Adventist School got 14 points in the final round, and won an interactive globe along with other prizes and a trophy. Mardel Maduro from Alexandrina Maduro Primary came in second, Jamal Freeman from Belle Vue Primary came in third, and Kadian Smith of Isabella Morris Primary was the fourth finalist. As well as the final quiz, awards were given to Amal Taylor who got the most points in the written quiz (31/35) and Jamal Freeman who got full marks (18) for naming many of the islands of the BVI from a blank map. After the quiz and the prize-giving ceremony, the Chief Physical Planner, Mr. Louis Potter, who introduced GIS to the territory, welcomed the guests. Then His Excellency, the Governor, Mr. Thomas Macan made a speech of the international importance of GIS. This was followed by The Acting Chief Minister and Minister of Natural Resources and Labour, Mr. Alvin Christopher who commented on the national significance of GIS in government. Mr. Joseph Smith-Abbot, Director of the BVI National Parks Trust, talked of the technology of GIS and how it is used, and Mr. Alan Mills, National GIS Coordinator, linked the educational value of the quiz to the need to build GIS capacity in government to give it better decision-making tools and raise public awareness of the importance of geography and their environment.

Extractions: UNC academics take reality tour By MORGAN NEELY Daily Courier Staff Writer "The tour is designed to teach about North Carolina's people, geography, economy, culture, history, education system and health and social issues," states a UNC-Chapel Hill press release about the tour. "(It) aims to help recent additions to the faculty and administration better understand the state where 82 percent of UNC-Chapel Hill undergraduates grow up." Currently, there are 42 students from Rutherford County enrolled at UNC-Chapel Hill, and the county comprises 396 Chapel Hill alumni. Thirty-six faculty members and administrators rolled into Spindale just before noon on Thursday, after beginning their day with a tour of Broyhill Furniture Industries in Lenoir. "You've been on the lollipops and roses tour," said Cowan, addressing the crowd as its members sat for lunch at Spencer Baptist Church. "This is where you'll get a taste of reality." Cowan launched into a concise history of Stonecutter Mills and Spindale, describing how a group of industrialists incorporated the town in 1923, and how, for the next 72 years, the mills on which the town was founded would prosper. "In 1995, Stonecutter had its best year in history," he said. "There were 2,500 workers. Now there are under 20 (in this mill complex)."

Extractions: Albert Ruger Thadeus Mortimer Fowler Oakley H. Bailey Lucien R. Burleigh ... Publishers of Panoramic Maps Albert Ruger (1829-1899) By 1866, Ruger had settled in Battle Creek, Michigan, where he began his prolific panoramic mapping career by sketching Michigan cities. Full descriptions of many Ruger views of Michigan cities are contained in John Cumming's A Preliminary Checklist of 19th Century Lithographs of Michigan Cities and Towns . Urban communities in some twenty-two states and Canada, ranging from New Hampshire to Minnesota and south to Georgia and Alabama, were sketched by Ruger. He continued his activity into the 1890s, moving his business to Chicago, Madison, and St. Louis as he sought new markets. In the late 1860s, Ruger formed a partnership with J. J. Stoner of Madison, Wisconsin, and together they published numerous city panoramas. Ruger was particularly productive during the 1860s; in 1869 alone, he produced more than sixty panoramic maps. In addition to city plans, he drew views of university campuses, among them Notre Dame, Shurtleff College, and the University of Michigan. Albert Ruger died in Akron, Ohio, on November 12, 1899. Thaddeus Mortimer Fowler (1842-1922) The Boston Public Library has six views drawn and published by Fowler in the 1870s. During that decade, he was employed as an artist by J. J. Stoner. Fowler moved from Madison around 1880 to northern New Jersey, first to the Oranges and later to Asbury Park. A panoramic map of Stewart, Ohio, which appears in D. J. Lake's

Shoulson, who has been with the University since 1995, received his doctorate from Yale University. His areas of specialty include early Jewish literature and the representations of Jews and Judaism in English literature. Fluent in both Biblical and modern Hebrew as well as several other languages, Shoulson was recently a postdoctoral fellow at the Center for Advanced Judaic Studies at the University of Pennsylvania and has been a Fulbright scholar. Professor Shoulson brings a wealth of knowledge and enthusiasm to the Judaic Studies Program and will help to revitalize it and take it to the next level, said Professor Haim Shaked, Director of the Sue and Leonard Miller Center for Contemporary Judaic Studies.
