(Last updated 6/14/01) SUNNY DAYS AT THE STOCK EXCHANGE GIVE LIFT TO MARKET, STUDY SAYS COLUMBUS, Ohio - When the sun is shining on Wall Street, it does more than put the brokers in a good mood - it also gives a lift to the stock market. David Hirshleifer A new study has found that morning sunshine at the sites of 26 leading stock exchanges around the world - including the New York Stock Exchange - is linked to positive market returns that day. The results showed that the daily difference in expected market returns between a completely overcast day and a sunny day is nine basis points (0.088 percent), or an annualized excess return of 24.8 percent. This study is part of a new trend in finance in which researchers go beyond the purely rational, economic factors that govern the stock market. "There's a great deal of evidence from psychology that sunshine helps put people in a good mood, and people in good moods make more optimistic choices and judgments," said

AIDS Prevention Research Project The Dayton-Columbus AIDS Prevention Research Project was funded by the National Institute on Drug Abuse (NIDA) as part of its Cooperative Agreement for AIDS Community-Based Outreach/Intervention Research. The program began in September 1991 and field activities ended in June 1996. Additional funds were provided by the Ohio Department of Alcohol and Drug Addiction Services (ODADAS). The goals of the Cooperative Agreement were to: (1) monitor the nature and extent of drug use and HIV-related risk taking behavior in an out-of-treatment drug-using population and (2) assess the efficacy of various interventions designed to contain the spread of AIDS. The Columbus Health Department, the Montgomery County Health District, and Project C.U.R.E, Inc. worked along with WSU on the Cooperative Agreement. The Dayton-Columbus Cooperative Agreement project objectives were to: Assess those behaviors of drug users which put them at high risk for contracting the HIV disease.

Examining the process in a non-American context facilitates the understanding of that process. Seminar Focus Class readings and discussion will revolve around several questions: Is the Americanization of German cities actually happening? What patterns do we see that support this idea? First, we need to define and identify the American pattern, with emphasis on spatial distributions and potential conflicts. Columbus will be our local laboratory, but the patterns are visible in most American metropolitan areas. Do we see these patterns in Germany-specifically in Dresden? What processes led to these patterns? Are they similar or different in the two places? How do they function in each place? What are the social and economic outcomes? What conflicts arise?

Case Study - Multiple Strategies Combining Innovative Finance Techniques: Ohio's Approach The Financing Challenge Like other large midwestern states, Ohio boasts an extensive transportation system which relies heavily on motor fuel taxes to fund ongoing operations and maintenance as well as improvement and expansion. Ohio has the tenth largest highway network in the country and the fifth highest volume of traffic. Given increasing traffic volumes, Ohio's congestion is growing and the state is near the top of the "second tier" states that are now facing the type of congestion that cities such as Atlanta and Los Angeles have faced for decades. At the same time, system maintenance requirements are escalating. These trends are having a major effect on funding needs. The Ohio Department of Transportation (ODOT) must decide each year how to allocate its approximately $2 billion budget. The preservation of the large existing network consumes 85 percent of ODOT's revenue, limiting the state's ability to fund new capacity. In order to meet essential capital needs, ODOT is restraining operational growth. Over the last several years, ODOT has implemented cost reduction and operational efficiency measures that have resulted in a savings of more than $400 million in actual and deferred operating costs since 1994. At the same time, however, Ohio drivers have increased their use of more environmentally-friendly ethanol-based fuels, which are taxed at a lower rate than traditional fuels; consumption of these fuels has increased from 16 percent to 40 percent of total gasoline consumption over the last five years, and is expected to continue. The high consumption levels of more environmentally friendly fuels is negatively impacting both state gas tax revenues and Federal funds.

19. FRAC - Post Welfare Reform Hunger Studies Illinois, Massachusetts, Michigan, New Jersey, New York, ohio, Pennsylvania, and Eightyfourpercent of cities surveyed reported increased demand state studies. http://www.frac.org/html/news/welfarestudies.html

FOOD INSECURITY AND HUNGER IN THE WAKE OF WELFARE REFORM A number of recent studies highlight continuing unacceptable levels of hunger and "food insecurity" in the wake of welfare reform. Even as many families move off assistance and into the workforce, low wages and unstable employment leave many of them without adequate access to food. At the same time, emergency food providers report continued long lines and requests for food, particularly among working families and households with children. The following are key food insecurity/hunger findings from recent welfare reform and emergency food studies. While some of these data are from 1997 before federal welfare law was fully implemented, they reflect both the beginning of implementation and, in a number of states, fuller implementation of work demonstration projects that were approved before 1996. National/Multi-State Studies of Hunger/Food Security The Urban Institute's "Snapshots of America's Families," In a 1997 study of families no longer receiving TANF assistance in ten large states (California, Florida, Illinois, Massachusetts, Michigan, New Jersey, New York, Ohio, Pennsylvania, and Texas), 36 percent of families surveyed reported that their children were eating less or skipping meals due to cost.

An Open Letter To Gov. Bob Taft Dayton Daily News, February 2, 1999 Dear Governor, Congratulations on your recent victory and inauguration. In no small way, you deftly used the education issue to connect with voters throughout the state. You promised them better schools. Now it's time to deliver. You have a single opportunity, at the start of your administration, to press for the bold education reforms that would make a real difference for Ohio's children. Bold means making fundamental changes in the achievement of students, the performance of schools and the ground rules of the education system. Bold means putting the interests of children first. That's what real education reform consists of, and it's what Ohio has not yet had much of. That's why Ohio has seen no significant improvement in its test scores, graduation rates or the job readiness of its young people, even as bolder states are seeing real results from their initiatives. You have a chance - even an obligation - to transform education in Ohio. But the signals you've sent so far, and the advice you've been getting, are anything but bold. What ideas emanated from your December education "summit"? Watering down proficiency tests. Increasing time for professional development. Repairing buildings. Trimming state mandates. The same old same old. What was the education highlight of your inaugural address? Reading tutors. Nice, yes, but really just more patches on a broken system.
