I appreciate the invitation of the Harvard Educational Review to come here to discuss the evolving federal role in education and relate it to our New Federalism theme. Since this is a Sunday afternoon I would like to begin by talking a little bit about Moses. As you know, Moses was summoned to the top of Mount Sinai, and there the Lord appeared to him in the form of a fiery cloud. And to the accompaniment of thunder and lightning,God presented him with the Ten Commandments. I want to be a little bit like that this afternoon.

It was Sunday afternoon in the farm house, on the thirteenth of February. Dinner being over, Bathsheba, for want of a better companion, had asked Liddy to come and sit with her. The mouldy pile was dreary in winter-time before the candles were lighted...

In the eighteenth chapter of his commentary on Genesis, entitled Mys­terium Magnum  (completed 1624), the Lusatian theosopher Jakob Böhme (1575–1624) made a startling declaration concerning the reception of the Ten Commandments atop Mount Sinai. According to the account of Exodus, God had commanded Moses to hew two tables of stone upon which He would inscribe the text of the Decalogue for the instruction of His chosen people. This Moses did, ‘and it came to pass... Moses came down from Mount Sinai with the two tables of testimony’ (Ex 34:29). Böhme’s account, however, differed significantly. For, according to the cobbler, the text of the new covenant was not recorded on ‘two tables of stone. Already during his lifetime, Böhme had been persecuted on several occasions by Lutheran authorities in his home-town of Görlitz on account of his enthusiastic tendencies. In 1613, following the distribution of manuscript copies of his first work, Aurora, Böhme was forbidden to record or further disseminate his ideas. In 1624, the local pastor Gregor Richter accused him of being the Antichrist.

In January of 2010, Harvard Educational Review editor Chantal Francois sat down at a Manhattan diner with three young black women, two of whom were her former students at a New York City high school. Chantal invited the women to come together and share their experiences as freshmen at predominantly white institutions along the East Coast. While each of these young women drew largely from her own experiences transitioning into different college settings, each highlights themes from both Fordham's and Kynard's research—including the emotional stress that being confined by labels can cause and the importance of finding a cipher from which to draw strength. In this conversation, the women shed the layers they typically don in white educational settings, instead creating a space where they can be real, find comfort,and speak from the core. What's more, their stories echo the themes of talking black, talking back, fictive kinship, and complicity, which Iris Carter Ford's commentary describes as central to conversations about black women in America today. From Victoria, Imani, and Darleen, we hear firsthand accounts of the commitment to struggle and the communal strength that continue to exist in the sacred spaces carved out by young black women in American educational institutions.

President Toomey: The first matter to come up is the report of the Secretary. Dr. Grulee: My printed report has been handed to you as you came in the door. I am not going to read this report. An addition to make to it is that a special meeting of the Executive Board of the Academy was held at 4:30 P.M. Sunday afternoon, November 21, 1948 at Haddon Hall, Atlantic City. President Toomey presided. At this meeting the motion was made, seconded and carried that Dr. Sisson and the Committee he may select be empowered to explore the possibilities of publicizing the Academy's Study of Child Health Services, with absolutely no power to act except by approval of the Executive Board. President Toomey: The report of the Treasurer is next. Dr. Grulee: I am going to ask Dr. Martmer to explain several features of the report, since he is Chairman of the Budget Committee. Dr. Martmer: At first glance, the Treasurer's report looks as though the Academy is an extremely wealthy organization. However, there are certain facts which must be kept in mind. As of this moment, we have cash in the bank totaling $129,767.89. But remember that the Treasurer of the Academy is custodian of those funds which are furnished by the various commercial firms for the ICH Committee, and there is definitely blocked for the ICH Committee—since they have collected that amount—$40,255.00, which leaves us, then, a balance of $89,512.89, which is actually Academy funds. At the start of the year, we had a balance of $43,859.98, and therefore, without going into our reserve, we have available for the balance of the year the sum of $45,652.91. We have, to offset that, eight months of the Academy year. An estimate of probable costs over that period is as follows: This Atlantic City meeting will cost us approximately $25,000.00. The cost of the Executive Board meeting for this session amounts to about $3,000 and there is a second Executive Board meeting in June, which will cost an additional $3,000. There are, in connection with the Areal Meetings, unpaid expenses which we have estimated perhaps somewhat high, but nevertheless a sum must be set aside for that purpose, and we have estimated $3,000. The office salaries, including the five people who are employed in the office, the Secretary and Assistant Secretary for the eight month period amount to $22,500. There is an item of $100 or more which we are obligated to pay in the furnishing of certificates for new members.

Throughout Bernard Cohen's active career at Mount Sinai that lasted over a half century, he was involved in research on vestibular control of the oculomotor, body postural, and autonomic systems in animals and humans, contributing to our understanding of such maladies as motion sickness, mal de débarquement syndrome, and orthostatic syncope. This review is an attempt to trace and connect Cohen's varied research interests and his approaches to them. His influence was vast. His scientific contributions will continue to drive research directions for many years to come.

SummaryRecently, there has been a proliferation of international agreements imposing minimum standards on states in respect of their treatment of foreign investors and allowing investors to initiate dispute settlement proceedings where a state violates these standards. Of greatest significance to Canada is Chapter 11 of the North American Free Trade Agreement, which provides both standards for state behaviour and the right to initiate binding arbitration. Since 1996, four cases have been brought under Chapter 11. This note describes the Chapter 11 process and suggests some of the issues that may arise as it is increasingly resorted to by investors.

The intestinal roundworm of swine is pinkish in color and about the diameter of a lead pencil. Adult worms, taken from parasitized swine, frequently were observed with macroscopic lesions on their cuticule. Those possessing such lesions were rinsed in distilled water, and cylindrical segments of the affected areas were removed. Some of the segments were fixed in buffered formalin before freeze-drying; others were freeze-dried immediately. Initially, specimens were quenched in liquid freon followed by immersion in liquid nitrogen. They were then placed in ampuoles in a freezer at −45C and sublimated by vacuum until dry. After the specimens appeared dry, the freezer was allowed to come to room temperature slowly while the vacuum was maintained. The dried specimens were attached to metal pegs with conductive silver paint and placed in a vacuum evaporator on a rotating tilting stage. They were then coated by evaporating an alloy of 20% palladium and 80% gold to a thickness of approximately 300 A°. The specimens were examined by secondary electron emmission in a scanning electron microscope.

The fully processed low-carbon electrical steels are generally fabricated through vacuum degassing to reduce the carbon level and to avoid the need for any further decarburization annealing treatment. This investigation was conducted on eighteen heats of such steels with aluminum content ranging from 0.001% to 0.011% which was believed to come from the addition of ferroalloys.The sizes of all the observed grains are less than 24 μm, and gradually decrease as the content of aluminum is increased from 0.001% to 0.007%. For steels with residual aluminum greater than 0. 007%, the average grain size becomes constant and is about 8.8 μm as shown in Fig. 1. When the aluminum is increased, the observed grains are changed from the uniformly coarse and equiaxial shape to the fine size in the region near surfaces and the elongated shape in the central region. SEM and EDAX analysis of large spherical inclusions in the matrix indicate that silicate is the majority compound when the aluminum propotion is less than 0.003%, then the content of aluminum in compound inclusion increases with that in steel.
