Even the staunchest of landlubbers knows what rockets at sea mean... or do they? A short space of time after the fatal collision with an iceberg, the Titanic''s crew sent rockets aloft to attract the attention of a ship seen just a few miles. But that ship never responded ... and 1500 people died in the frigid waters. This book details the scandal of the Californian, blamed by many for being that very unresponsive stranger. Rockets were seen and ignored...but was the Captain guilty of mass murder? Did more than 1000 people needlessly die? Why was the wireless operator not awakened?

American schools are often the victims of numbers games because its education is in the hands of politicians, the populace, and pundits. How Americans view numbers, science, and research profoundly impacts the ability of politicians to manipulate our schools from pre-K through graduate education. Even in classrooms, teachers are routinely implementing flawed assessment strategies based on misguided assumptions about numbers and commonly held statistical truths. American educators need to step out from under the restrictive mandates of politicians and their growing mania for measuring students - they need to leave the numbers games behind and take control of their profession.

Renita Schmidt and P. L. Thomas The guiding mission of the teacher education program in the university where we teach is to create teachers who are scholars and leaders. While the intent of that mission is basically sound in theory—we instill the idea that teachers at all levels are professionals, always learning and growing in knowledge—that theory, that philosophical underpinning does not insure that the students who complete our program are confident about the act or performance of teaching. In our unique program, students work closely with one teacher and classroom for the entire senior year and then are supervised and mentored during their first semester of teaching; the program is heavily field-based, and it depends on the effectiveness of mentoring throughout the methods coursework and the first semester of full-time teaching. Students tell us this guidance and support is invaluable, and yet we feel the disjuncture between university and school just as many of you in more traditional student teaching settings. Students hear “best practice” information from us in methods classes and they receive ample exposure to the research supporting our field, but have a hard time implementing research-based practices in their cla- room settings and an even harder time finding it in the classrooms around them.

A collection of poetry by Leicester''s Paul Lee.

In Genetic Incense, Jeffrey Paul Lee breathes fresh life into the traditional sonnet. He uses a highly conventional form to express unconventional insights into the nature of reality, the philosophy of perception, and the power of relationships. Laced with humor, cheeky wordplay, and movingly emotional observations, Genetic Incense paints vivid word pictures that relate the author''s life experiences to worlds both real and imaginary that surround him. The trivial and the sublime are treated as equal dancing partners. The author offers a challenging and ultimately rewarding worldview that seeks to open new doors and to offer inspiration from, at times, the most unlikely sources. "And there you stood spellbound, eager and bright in Southwark, on a starry London night."

We present an account of the metaplectic representation in terms of the Bargmann-Segal model rather than the standard Schrödinger model; this allows us to describe explicitly the structure and pairing of vacuum states for positive polarizations. We develop a scheme for geometric spinors and, following Hess, using Mp[superscript italic]c structures in place of metaplectic structures.
