There has long been a mutually beneficial, and often colorful, association between the United States Navy and Rhode Island. This association goes back several hundred years, most notably on Aquidneck Island and with the city of Newport. Rhode Islanders in general, and Newporters in particular, have always been famous for wanting to go their own way. This was true in both matters of commerce as well as nation-building, as the early history of this free and autonomous colony would attest. It's what drove Roger Williams to come to Rhode Island in 1636, to get away from the repression of the Massachusetts Bay Colony.
Budget Primer The education function provides education services to rhode islanders. For FY 2002 the Governor s budget recommends the use of the rhode island Capital http://www.budget.state.ri.us/primer.htm
Extractions: Budget Primer The purpose of this primer is to clarify the annual budget and appropriations process. Appropriation Process . According to Article IX Section 16 of the Rhode Island Constitution, and the Rhode Island General Laws Section 35-3-7, the Governor must present spending recommendations to the Legislature. The Budget reflects expenditures for both the current and upcoming fiscal year and identifies the sources of financing for those expenditures. On or before the third Wednesday in February, unless delayed by act of the Legislature, the Governor must submit to the General Assembly a budget containing a complete plan of estimated revenues and proposed expenditures, with a personnel supplement detailing number and titles of positions of each agency, and estimates of personnel costs for the next fiscal year. The budget is proposed by the Governor and considered by the General Assembly, which may increase, decrease, alter, or strike out any item in the budget, provided that the action would not cause an excess of appropriations over anticipated revenue receipts. No appropriation in excess of budget recommendations may be made by the General Assembly unless it provides the necessary additional revenue to cover such appropriation. The Governor may veto legislative appropriations. The Legislature may override any veto by a two-thirds majority vote. Supplemental appropriations measures must be submitted by the Governor to the General Assembly on or before the second Tuesday in January. Supplemental appropriations by the General Assembly must also be supported by additional revenues.

Extractions: ESOL "Fight For Literacy..." (1981) from Iranian Postage and Commemorative Stamp Gallery What's the difference between ESL (English as a second language) and ESOL (English for speakers of other languages)? For the purposes of LR/RI's work, ESOL is the preferred term as it does not assume that learners are necessarily taking on a second language (for many language learners, English is a third, fourth or even fifth language); it also shifts a sometimes invisible emphasis of the importance of English over that of other languages towards an explicit acknowledgement of the primacy of language and culture in all our lives. For a detailed discussion of the use of the terms ESL and ESOL see the strand archived on the NIFL-ESL Literacy Listserv [1997 archive] , (scroll down to ESL or ESOL ).

The Dunn Foundation Grant Making. general Information. Research / education education is the keyfactor in developing an appreciation for how our communities look. http://www.dunnfoundation.org/
Extractions: a rising tide of commercialism, advertising, poorly-planned development and apathy that is turning our communities into banal replicas of each other. The damage is widespread: billboards and inappropriate signage mar our scenic landscapes, poorly designed, out-of-character buildings and barren asphalt parking lots scar our streetscapes, creeping suburbia is swallowing our wetlands and forests, and winding country lanes are turning into multi-lane highways. The Dunn Foundation is committed to reversing this trend through education, community-based action, and philanthropy. The Dunn Foundation believes that the natural growth of our towns and cities has compromised the beauty of these places. Excessive signage, strip malls, fast food franchises, utility poles, elimination of trees and sidewalks for street widening has homogenized our once unique places into a visual nightmare. Our mission is to educate children and adults to this phenomenon and cause change, which will allow beauty and growth to co-exist.
