The Hispanics have also migrated away from their more sparse locales in the city to increase the population in the Hispanic southeast corner of the city, still living with a majority of whites (Hispanic 2000).
Using this information we see that residential differentiation, especially between whites and blacks, has become more intense, sharpening the lines between the races in the residential communities of Baltimore City. Perhaps because of this increased intensity, we also notice a difference in the varying economic neighborhoods. Those with a higher household income continue to be located in the same geographic location as before, but now their average household income has decreased, and the racial demographics in the varying economic statuses is more clear (Income 2000). The areas of higher income are located in the most northern part of the city, where the highest population of whites is also, while the areas of lower income are located in the central section and have grown into the western and northwestern neighborhoods with the average decrease in household income from 1990 to 2000.
The impact of segregation on any area can create some negative effects, and according to Camille Zubrinsky Charles, racial segregation may be to blame for the decline in the economic status of blacks in Baltimore City. She argues that "where we live affects our proximity to job opportunities," and whoever is concentrated in areas where conditions are poor would be unlikely to find a job that would pay enough to support a family (168). The inner-city is just such an area with poor conditions, and according to the maps from 1990 and 2000, as the population of blacks in the central section of the city increased, the economic status of the residents there (the blacks) decreased. Therefore, the segregation of the various communities has impacted...
Instating programs to make housing around Baltimore more accessible to those who cannot afford it may be one solution. Another solution may be renovation projects for the inner-city area to bring life and wealth to the inner-city blacks who live there. Whatever path officials choose to take, their commitment to blurring the lines between the races in Baltimore City is sure to have positive economic, social, and societal impacts.

Client server systems are a group of inter-related subsystems which collaborate together to provide a specific solution or service. This computing model structures diverse and distributed applications, which separates tasks between the providers (servers) and service seekers (clients). Keeping the purpose of this paper in view, the provider-server is the Geographical Informative System and the client is the U.S. government. This paper analyzes Geographical Informative System (GIS) as its client
Role and Process of Suburbanization in Creation of Metropolitan Areas The divide between city and rural areas and the rise of the metropolis were features of the previous century. While the development of cities had its own problems, the development of the cities into metropolises created new hinterlands that other cities did not have. The new type of development across the metropolitan areas and its periphery came to be called urbanization.

Pedagogic Model for Teaching of Technology to Special Education Students Almost thirty years ago, the American federal government passed an act mandating the availability of a free and appropriate public education for all handicapped children. In 1990, this act was updated and reformed as the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act, which itself was reformed in 1997. At each step, the goal was to make education more equitable and more accessible to
