Recent actions by the City University of New York trustees to raise tuition by 25 percent and State University of New York Chancellor Robert King’s proposal to increase his students’ tuition by 22 percent leaves many families reeling, and will prompt some students to have to forgo their college plans, for financial reasons.
State appropriations currently account for less than 30 percent of the revenues of public colleges and universities, and some flagship state university campuses get less than 15 percent of their money from the state.
Nowadays, with the states facing severe budget gaps and the Bush administration slashing taxes despite its massive deficit, one of the biggest losers will be public higher education, considered by some cost cutters to represent the largest remaining discretionary chunk in the budget.

 Empire State Building Summary
The Empire State Building was the inspiration of John Jacob Raskob, a self-made man who rose to become an officer and shareholder in General Motors.
Constructed in 1930-31, the Empire State Building was the tallest building in the world for forty years, until the construction of New York's World Trade Center in 1971 and, despite being overtaken in terms of its height, both in the United States and abroad, has remained America's most internationally famous architectural icon.
The Empire State has not been the world's tallest building in decades; neither is it universally considered to be the most beautiful or the most interesting of the world's skyscrapers.

 Empires - History for Kids!   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-13)
The first empires were probably in Western Asia, first under the Akkadians, then under the Babylonians, and then under the Assyrians.The Egyptians also had a sort of empire in the New Kingdom as they conquered Israel, Jordan, Lebanon and Syria.
These empires were mainly tribute-collectors, and did not try very hard to control the activities of the states under their control.
In the 400's AD, the Roman Empire broke down into smaller states again, and then in the 600's AD much of the Roman Empire and all of the Sassanian Empire were conquered by the Arabs and made into the Islamic Empire.

 HWC, The Roman Empire   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-13)
The Empire recovered itself with the reign of Diocletian (285-304).
Yet, the Empire was still the Empire, if only because there was as yet nothing to replace it, and it had been so dominant for so long that life was inconceivable without a Rome.
So, although the emperors resided in the east, it was still called the Roman Empire and everyone thought of it as such.

 Empire Page: Eye From Albany
Like many states where the state capital is a backwater, New York's Capital City is not the state's urban centerpiece.
Albany and its metro area is fragmented and the city of Albany despite its assets like its heritage, architecture and offices of state government hardly commands a leadership position within its own region let alone in the affairs of the state.
Residents of New York State don't have the similar desire to visit Albany to see the landmark State Capitol building and the grand Empire State Plaza or to visit the State Museum and the Albany Institute of History Art that is older than the Smithsonian in Washington.

Empire aspires to the same scale of grand political philosophy as Locke or Marx or Fukuyama, but whether Hardt and Negri accomplish this daunting task is debatable.
"Empire", which is now going on five years, attempts in its atmospheric prose to elucidate a totalizing world view of the future of the global economy.
If the consequences of EMPIRE are better living standards globally for billions, I think most readers (and workers of the world) would vote for EMPIRE over the decentralized revolution for which our naive communist writers call.

 The Empire State: A History of New York
New York State history received a more formal treatment in 1839 when the legislature allocated money to hire an agent to, “…Procure and Transcribe Documents in Europe Relative to the Colonial History of the State.” Many of the works published during the 1800’s were documentary collections.
Although The Empire State may be the heir to this historiographic tradition, the President of the New York State Historical Association, Gilbert Vincent, notes that this recent one-volume history is completely new (p.

The Torre Latinoamericana in Mexico City looks very similar to the Empire State Building, including setbacks and antenna, the "main" differences being size and outer paneling (the Torre Latinoamericana is glass paneled on the outside).

 Empire State Games - Who We Are
On the 16th of August 1978, 4,500 men and women paraded through the old Archbold Stadium on the campus of Syracuse University and ignited the torch for the Empire State Games and, along with it, a new spirit and the beginning of a new and exciting grassroots amateur sports movement in the United States.

Of course, none of this would be possible without our parent agency, the state Office of Parks, Recreation and Historic Preservation and the wonderful support of Commissioner Bernadette Castro; or the generous and continuing partnership of the New York Lottery.

State spending, meanwhile, would increase next year at well over twice the rate of inflation.
Much of the increase is due to the steadily rising costs of health care, state employee benefits and debt service, coupled with Governor Pataki's call for another big increase in spending on targeted school property tax breaks for homeowners.
Large majorities also believe that state leaders are more responsive to special interests, or to their own personal interests, than to the voters' interests.

In addition to the establishment of Duke University, formerly Trinity College, the multi-million dollar indenture provided funds for educational institutions, orphanages, hospitals, and the Methodist Church in the Carolinas.
