The Ministerial Council for Education, Early Childhood Development and Youth Affairs (MCEECDYA) met in Canberra in October to discuss ‘enhancements’ being made to the My School website by the Australian Curriculum, Assessment and Reporting Authority (ACARA) and to discuss finalisation of the Kindergarten to Year 10 (K-10) national curriculum. The big question on My School was whether the Index of Community Socio-Educational Advantage (ICSEA) would include a measure of school resources. Speaking at a press conference after the meeting, Commonwealth Minister for Schools, Early Childhood and Youth Peter Garrett indicated that My School would provide ‘a richer data set,’ including …

Commonwealth Shadow Minister for Education Christopher Pyne introduced a private member’s bill in late October to try to force a judicial inquiry into alleged rorting, price gouging, collusion, skimming and waste in the Commonwealth government’s $16.2 billion Building the Education Revolution (BER) Primary Schools for the 21st Century program. ‘This is the only inquiry that can summon witnesses and subpoena documents, and I think Australians do want to know whether they received value for money for their $16.2 billion and, if they didn’t, who is responsible,’ Pyne said. ‘(The independents) have indicated they support transparency and accountability. Passing this bill …


An Investigation Into The Use Of Color As A Device To Convey Memes During The Little Ice Age, Peter Allen White Dec 2010

An Investigation Into The Use Of Color As A Device To Convey Memes During The Little Ice Age, Peter Allen White

Master's Theses

Color is used as a tool in visual communication to express ideas in a symbolic fashion. It can also be used as a guide to assist the viewer in the visual narrative. Artwork created in the period of time between 1300 to 1850 in northern and central Europe provides a comprehensive perspective in the use of color as symbol and color as an elucidative devise. This period of time is known as the Little Ice Age, the duration of which spans European history between the Medieval period and the Romantic era. The extreme climatic conditions of this era caused profound …

Beyond The Shackles And Chains Of The Middle Passage: Human Trafficking Unveiled., Enrique A. Maciel-Matos Dec 2010

Beyond The Shackles And Chains Of The Middle Passage: Human Trafficking Unveiled., Enrique A. Maciel-Matos

The Scholar: St. Mary's Law Review on Race and Social Justice

For the Trafficking Victims Protection Act (TVPA) to truly meet its twin aims of the prosecution of traffickers and the protection of victims, it must be reformed. The current overemphasis on the prosecution of traffickers renders the TVPA an ineffective tool for providing aid to victims of human trafficking. Trusting law enforcement officers to identify victims without proper training may lead to victims of more severe trafficking being denied benefits. Further, by providing benefits only to those who agree to cooperate with law enforcement, the TVPA denies assistance and protection to those who may be too scared or traumatized to …

The United States' Failure To Ratify The International Covenant On Economic, Social And Cultural Rights: Must The Poor Be Always With Us., Ann M. Piccard Dec 2010

The United States' Failure To Ratify The International Covenant On Economic, Social And Cultural Rights: Must The Poor Be Always With Us., Ann M. Piccard

The Scholar: St. Mary's Law Review on Race and Social Justice

The United States remains one of only half a dozen U.N. member states that have yet to ratify the International Covenant on Economic, Social and Cultural Rights. The treaty was signed by President Jimmy Carter in 1977, but no steps toward ratification have ever been taken. Meanwhile, the gap between the rich and the poor in this country continues to grow, and is among the highest of any democracy on earth. The United States is historically suspicious of even recognizing economic, social and cultural rights as “rights” that might be amenable to any method of enforcement. As a result, the …

Waiver, Certification, And Transfer Of Juveniles To Adult Court: Limiting Juveniles Transfers In Texas., Emily Ray Dec 2010

Waiver, Certification, And Transfer Of Juveniles To Adult Court: Limiting Juveniles Transfers In Texas., Emily Ray

The Scholar: St. Mary's Law Review on Race and Social Justice

The adult criminal justice system is worse for juveniles who commit crimes. Underlying principles upon which the juvenile justice system was founded remain viable and worthy goals, and Texas law should reflect that understanding. Part II traces the development of juvenile justice in this country, including the evolution of the first American juvenile courts, and summarizes the due process rights afforded to juveniles by the U.S. Supreme Court. In Part III, I argue juvenile transfers to adult court should be limited in Texas with a special emphasis on young peoples' development, decision-making and reasoning abilities, and insights scientific research provides …

Perry V. Schwarzenegger: Trying Same-Sex Marriage., Michael J. Ritter

The Scholar: St. Mary's Law Review on Race and Social Justice

In 2008, California voters enacted Proposition 8, carving out an exception to the State constitution’s equal protection, due process, and privacy guarantees. After litigation in state court proved ineffective, same-sex couples sought relief in federal court in the widely discussed case Perry v. Schwarzenegger. Though the trial court released its decision only three weeks ago, the case has received attention by the national media and by legal circles throughout the country. This Article addresses the progression of the case of Perry from the filing of the case to its current status before the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals. It offers …

Leadership, Curriculum, Instruction, And Accountability Scores : Evidence From Kentucky Scholastic Audits., Rebecca Curry Todd Dec 2010

Leadership, Curriculum, Instruction, And Accountability Scores : Evidence From Kentucky Scholastic Audits., Rebecca Curry Todd

Electronic Theses and Dissertations

In 1983 the National Commission on Excellence in Education released A Nation at Risk, which triggered an extended era of school reform culminating in today's accountability movement. In Kentucky the school improvement process, in which principals play an integral part, is based on the Standards and Indicators for School Improvement (SISI--with nine standards and 88 indicators overall) and the Scholastic Audit, a measurement tool based thereon. Murphy's (2004) mediated model of instructional leadership recognizes that complex school reform necessitates both direct and indirect skills. The central research question captures the purpose of this study, testing Murphy's model: Based on Scholastic …


Approximating Solutions For Ginzburg – Landau Equation By Hpm And Adm, J. Biazar, M. Partovi, Z. Ayati Dec 2010

Approximating Solutions For Ginzburg – Landau Equation By Hpm And Adm, J. Biazar, M. Partovi, Z. Ayati

Applications and Applied Mathematics: An International Journal (AAM)

In this paper, an analytical approximation to the solution of Ginzburg-Landauis discussed. A Homotopy perturbation method introduced by He is employed to derive the analytic approximation solution and results compared with those of the Adomian decomposition method. Two examples are presented to show the capability of the methods. The results reveal that the methods are almost equally effective and promising.

Analysis Of An Online Support Group For Women With Breast Cancer, Laura Boxley Dec 2010

Analysis Of An Online Support Group For Women With Breast Cancer, Laura Boxley

Loma Linda University Electronic Theses, Dissertations & Projects

With over 200,000 new diagnoses in 2004, breast cancer is one of the most commonly diagnosed cancers among women in the United States. Both the stress of treatment and the threat of a potentially lethal illness present significant challenges to an individual's emotional well-being and coping skills, yet paradoxically many women report benefits from dealing with this adversity. The aims of this investigation were to describe the characteristics of benefit finding as expressed by breast cancer survivors participating in an online breast cancer support group, and to assess the relationship between symptom distress, emotional well-being and benefit finding using baseline …
