A Historical Analysis of Special Education Services in Conservative Christian Schools Since 1950

This study examines the historical progression of the availability of special education in Conservative Christian Schools in the United States since 1950. Due to the limited nature of research in this field, a historical analysis was used to better understand how the development of special education in Conservative Christian Schools compares to the development of special education in Public Schools. After analyzing the literature, four key turning points were identified. In addition, the significant roles of funding and Biblical support were examined. This thesis made recommendations for future, continued research and poses suggestions for Conservative Christian Schools to consider regarding the development of special education programs. Limitations to the study were noted

First Amendment uses of public space: Manipulation through design?

The concept of the free exchange of ideas, as embodied in the First Amendment of the U.S. Constitution, underpins our notion of a government that works not by consensus or fiat, but by conflict between differing opinions and resolution by secret ballot. Part and parcel of that concept is that not only the vote but the information that leads to decisions in the country ought to be open to all and all should be able to express their opinions. In this way anyone may be able to· Influence their fellow citizens, regardless of the speaker's resources and station in life.</p

Assimilation Conundrum: Austrian Befriends Americans in Costa Rica

The number of international students coming to the United States has fallen during the past two years.&nbsp; Still, many come.&nbsp; They seek an education that may be unavailable at home or just an opportunity to study in a foreign environment.&nbsp; Upon graduation, many return home with subject matter knowledge gleaned in the classroom but no real understanding of Americans or America.&nbsp; Those lacking assimilation and acceptance among US students return to their homelands shortchanged and in some ways, less prepared than they should be to deal in a multi-cultural environment.&nbsp; International students need to be assimilated in such a manner as to enrich their understanding of the United States and to broaden their horizons. Too, assimilation may lead to an increase in the numbers of foreign students seeking an education in the U.S.&nbsp; In a similar vein, U.S. students can enrich their knowledge and understanding of foreign cultures through close interaction with foreign students

The effect of 1.0% tropicamide/2.5% phenylephrine and Paremyd on pupil diameter, accomodative amplitude and intraocular pressure

Background: The demand for a milder, yet effective dilation drop prompted Allergan to introduce Paremyd™ to the eye care community in 1993. This study sought to form clinical comparisons between Paremyd™ and the standard drug regimen for dilation of 1% tropicamide/2.5% phenylephrine. Methods: 23 subjects who ranged from 23-29 years of age were dilated with 1 drop each of 1% tropicamide and 2.5% phenylephrine in the right eye and 1 drop of Paremyd™ in the left eye. Pupil diameter and accommodative amplitude (using the push up method) was evaluated at 0, 10, 20, 30, 45, 60, 90, 120, 150 and 180 minute intervals while intraocular pressures were attained at 0, 30, 60, 120 and 180 minute intervals. Results: Analysis revealed that Paremyd™ had a slightly less mydriatic and cycloplegic effect than the standard drug regimen. There was also a difference in efficacy when segregating participants due to irides\u27 color with both dilation methods having a greater mydriatic effect on non-brown eyed vs. brown eyed subjects. The reverse was true when cycloplegic effect was analyzed. Conclusions: It is difficult to assess which regimen should be the drug or drugs of choice with regard to pupil dilation. Paremyd™ proves to be an effective, milder mydriatic agent. Although in brown eyed individuals, one drop of Paremyd™ may fall slightly short of the desired 7 mm dilated pupil

Lawyers, Mediation, and the Management of Divorce Practice

Despite a widespread assumption that divorce mediation and divorce lawyers are incompatible, lawyers do play active-if largely unexamined-roles in many mediation programs. This article reports on the work of lawyers in a state with mandatory mediation. We find that lawyers in Maine have generally embraced mediation because it helps them manage problems inherent in divorce practice. Mandated divorce mediation facilitates both settlement negotiation and trial preparation, permits client participation in decisionmaking without requiring lawyers to surrender control, provides a forum for resolving both legal and nonlegal issues, and promotes efficient case management
