The Curve of the Earth is a collection of poems the moves around the moments in every day life, to define and explore the surprise of feeling in the most ordinary occurrences. The introductory essay, An Eye without an I is a discussion of how I have come to understand the placement of narrative voice within the intention of the poem, and how with the conversational aspect of poetry engaged--of the writer and reader being essential to the in and out breath of a poem--the poem awakens to stretch beyond the language of the everyday, to reach something deeper.

This report examines existing information describing documented Alaska Native resources and areas of Alaska Native interest in the Susitna-Watana Hydroelectric Project Study area, located in the upper Susitna River basin, as proposed by the Alaska Energy Authority. Potential "gaps" in the existing data are identified that help inform the National Environmental Policy Act scoping and study planning activities conducted as part of the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission licensing process for the proposed Project. The purpose of this data gap analysis is to evaluate available information for its relevance and applicability to the proposed Project. Actual information needs will be determined when a more refined description of Project facilities, operations, and construction activities is developed. The data reviewed for this analysis are contained in selected documents developed as part of the original Susitna Project licensing effort in the early 1980s, along with more recent, readily available reports.

The third installment of the Reading Street series, Grade 3, delivers structured content designed for children who have a firm foundation in English and Language Arts and are ready to continue on the path to lifelong reading. This curriculum for homeschooling brings together classic reading selections, fun activities and parent/teacher guides to help you develop lessons that boost your student''s English and Language Arts learning. As with all levels of Reading Street, Grade 3 was created using educational research to ensure your child is guided through his or her work by age-appropriate and cutting-edge content. Each week, your child will work through a series of reading and writing activities that center around a Big Idea. This structure supports your child''s critical thinking skills and ensures he or she builds knowledge suitable for a child in third Grade. By the end of the year, children at this level in their homeschooling program should be able to: Read third-grade level material at a steady pace. Identify errors when reading aloud and know how to correct them. Answer questions using examples from the text. Comprehend and explain main ideas found in the reading. Develop a point of view different than those of characters in stories. Edit writing after completing it. Use transitions in writing, such as "therefore," "for example" and "also." Reading Street: Grade 3 will give you the tools you need to achieve these learning goals during your homeschool program. Grade 3 comes in a two-volume set that''s packed with engaging reading materials and helpful teacher tools. You''ll be able to keep tabs on your child''s progress through this level by using the assessment materials. If your child needs to revisit a certain lesson, you can ensure he or she does so and fully comprehends the subject.
