Dartmouth College2009 APSA 2009 Toronto Meeting Paper Abstract: Every year more states receive more in federal spending than they pay in taxes to the federal government. Since the early 1980s, when data on tax burdens per state are first available, the states that receive more in federal spending than taxes paid have been increasingly Republican in presidential elections. This pattern persisted in the 2008 presidential election. The impact of federal spending on a state’s Electoral Vote is increasing over the period 1984 to 2008 and remains statistically significant as a predictor of the vote when controlling for differences in ideology and opinions on issues across state populations and when controlling for per capita or median state income.

Now the reason for those was my business with some other projects. For example in getting copies of German aerial photographs. Also I need to perform coordination of different kinds of archival research work.

(Some results of this activities you can see in my Raw materials section) Besides this it seems now I'm involved into another huge project devoted to the 65th anniversary of the Great Victory. As usual, any your help both financial and moral is much appreciated! January 30, 2010 Important note! Right now Russian copyright law changed and libraries refuse to make digital copies of the sources published later than in 1938. Be sure, they are more than enough for making monthly updates for 100 years of hard work.... Alex aka AMVAS. Want to expand my knowledge of military history, what books do you recommend?

Posted Oct 21, 2009 Share This Gallery inShare58 The photographs of Russian chemist and photographer, Sergei Mikhailovich Prokudin-Gorskii, show Russia on the eve of World War I and the coming of the revolution. From 1909-1912 and again in 1915, Prokudin-Gorskii travelled across the Russian Empire, documenting life, landscapes and the work of Russain people. His images were to be a photographic survey of the time. He travelled in a special train car transformed into a dark room to process his special process of creating color images, a technology that was in its infancy in the early 1900′s. Prokudin-Gorskii left Russia in 1918, after the Russian Revolution had destroyed the Empire he spent years documenting.
