While some may see little "magic" in winter, others who live and work in northern cities say such ventures celebrate the uniqueness of a winter city lifestyle and open doors for new trade and commerce. A case in point: The northern Canadian city of Yellowknife has seen over $60 million in business developed through a Winter Cities relationship with Siberia. Established in the 1980s the association's mission is to "improve the physical, social and economic well-being of northern communities around the world," and members include cities in Canada, Japan, China, Finland, Sweden, Norway, Russia and the United States. The Association's 1995 forum in Bratsk in Eastern Siberia was attended by three representatives from the Upper Peninsula (U.P.) to acquaint participants with the UP and to "stimulate interest among the participants in coming to Marquette," says Patrick Coleman, vice president, Marquette Winter Cities Association. As a result of that visit, a Marquette businessman is pursuing business contacts in Siberia for residential construction ventures.

Review: Web-Based E-Mail Finally Persuades HEATHER NEWMAN AND MIKE WENDLAND: Michigan firms stay strong after dot-com bust Web friendly moves help businesses, users July 15, 2002 BY HEATHER NEWMAN AND MIKE WENDLAND FREE PRESS COLUMNISTS Don't believe everything you've heard about the dot-com bust. RELATED CONTENT 2002 Free Press Favorite Michigan Web Sites Other notables The best of the best While there's no disputing that high-tech has been through tough times, the Web is still alive and thriving close to home, with thousands of Michigan Web sites attracting millions of loyal surfers every day. "We're not running into many" Michigan companies "that aren't equipped to do business on the Internet," said Mike Finney, vice president for emerging business sectors at the Michigan Economic Development Council. According to a Washington, D.C., think tank called the Progressive Policy Institute, Michigan handily beats California (the home of Silicon Valley), the state of Washington (home to Microsoft) and Texas (home to Dell Computer Corp.) as one of the most Internet-friendly states. What makes Michigan such a Web-friendly place? High-tech leaders cite the state's advanced use of e-government, which gives people online access to government services; the establishment of high-tech SmartZones around the state, and a state initiative to hurry up the construction of high-speed Internet connections.

View Source Article TIMSS Benchmarking Studies Many states and districts have created content and performance standards targeted at boosting student achievement in mathematics and science. As this process continues, these jurisdictions find they need reliable data on how their students compare internationally in these areas. The TIMSS Benchmarking Studies provided an opportunity for states and districts to assess the comparative international standing of their students' achievement and to evaluate their mathematics and science programs in an international context. The TIMSS 1995 Benchmarking Study included 5 states and one consortium of school districts. In 1999 the study expanded as 13 states and 14 districts or consortia of districts participated (see below for list of participants). In 2003, Indiana collected separate TIMSS data for the state. These states and consortia administered the TIMSS assessments following the same guidelines as those developed for the main TIMSS assessments, but separately from the U.S. national samples.
