Aboriginal PALS
In consultation with Elders and other Aboriginal community leaders, PALS has been adapted for Aboriginal communities. Aboriginal PALS (Parents as Literacy Supporters) is a play-based, culturally responsive family literacy program that gives parents and caregivers new strategies to support their preschool and kindergarten-aged children's learning.
When Chris and Toby Greyeyes find a raven in the garage, they try to trap it and hurt it with hockey sticks. To them, ravens are just a nuisance because they spread garbage all over the street. Or so they think—until a mysterious man who smells like pine needles enters their lives and teaches them his story of the raven.
In this intriguing book, George Littlechild, internationally acclaimed artist and author of the Jane Addams Award-winning book This Land Is My Land, returns to collaborate with Richard Van Camp, an exciting voice in Native American literature.
Set in the Northwest Territories of Canada, Van Camp's contemporary story draws from the animal legends and folklore told to him by his Dogrib elders. Littlechild's bold use of color and perspective captures the sense of mystery and magic surrounding the strange raven man who teaches the boys the meaning of respect for nature.
Blending past with present, the magical with the real, A Man Called Raven is both a tribute to the wisdom of the raven and a positive reminder that we can all learn from nature.

Tony, Rainey, Jennifer, and Mavis love playing, with the help of their parents, they learn important safety lessons at school, in the kitchen and in the playground.
A sweet story about a young Quail who learns life lessons about laughing, crying, anger, hurt, happiness, fear, trust, love and standing up for one self.
Ch'askin is the great thunderbird whose appearance heralds rumbling thunder, a darkening sky and flashes of lightning as well as good luck for the people of the Sechelt Nation.
This compelling book recounts how this enormous and awe-inspiring bird -- who looks like a golden eagle except much, much larger -- aided and protected the members of the Sechelt villages for many years in many ways. From helping Chief Spelmu'lh, the father of the Sechelt Nation, build both the first longhouse and the many villages of his people, to delivering goats and grizzly bears for the hungry people to eat and creating islands from pebbles for the tired Sechelt hunters to rest, the story of Ch'askin is a story of protection, friendship and respect for fellow living beings.
"The story is simple but beautiful in its description of the close relationship of Ch'askin and his chosen people...The illustrations enhance the story without overwhelming the sparse, flowing text." — Linda Irvine, Resource Links
"Told in the style of the oral tradition and beautifully illustrated in black and white, the story of Ch'askin comes to life." — BC Parent Magazine

This book is part of the Legends of the Sechelt Nation series.

When frogs suddenly vanish from a lake behind a village on the Northwest Coast, a nearby volcano awakens and a native girl is called to a dangerous adventure. Following the rich mythic traditions of Native peoples of the Pacific Northwest Coast, the stories often tell of individuals cast mysteriously into parallel worlds inhabited by animals in human form.
Summoned to a spectacular world beneath the lake, the girl is questioned by "Grandmother" about the disappearance of her "children." Just who is this mysterious old woman? And what will happen if her children are not returned? What follows both answers and deepens the mystery.
Careful attention is paid to historical detail both in the story and in the vibrant illustrations. Frog Girl follows the rich mythic traditions of the Haida, Tlingit and other Native peoples of the Pacific Northwest Coast, whose stories often tell of individuals cast mysteriously into parallel worlds inhabited by animals in human form.

Now readers of all ages can share in this tribute to the environment, adapted especially for children by Chief Jake Swamp, whose efforts to share this vision of thanksgiving take him all over the world. Chief Swamp's inspirational message, along with Erwin Printup, Jr.'s unforgettable landscapes, make Giving Thanks a timeless celebration of the spirit of nature.

A long time ago, Raven was pure white, like fresh snow in winter. This was so long ago that the only light came from campfires, because a greedy chief kept the stars, moon, and sun locked up in elaborately carved boxes. Determined to free them, the shape-shifting Raven resourcefully transformed himself into the chief's baby grandson and cleverly tricked him into opening the boxes and releasing the starlight and moonlight. Though tired of being stuck in human form, Raven maintained his disguise until he got the chief to open the box with the sun and flood the world with daylight, at which point he gleefully transformed himself back into a raven. When the furious chief locked him in the house, Raven was forced to escape through the small smokehole at the top--and that's why ravens are now black as smoke instead of white as snow.
This engaging Tlingit story is brought to life in painted illustrations that convey a sense of the traditional life of the Northwest Coast peoples.

"Long ago, when groups of people were living in caves to keep their families fed and warm, young men set out to search for food. After days of staying awake to keep the fire going, the grandfather left in charge fell asleep, and the fire grew dim. The resident brown robin found everyone asleep the next morning with the embers barely lit. This traditional story tells how the courageous little gray robin saves the people, and is honored with the color given him." - Oyate

"How Turtle Set the Animals Free is a surprising tortoise-and-hare legend with far-flung consequences. How Food Was Given describes the care and sacrifice of the four Chiefs of plant and animal life devoted to the new people who will soon come to Earth...Barb Marchand's vital, expressive watercolours bring the creatures alive. Her adroit portrayal of self-important Coyote in the telling but hilarious How Names Were Given adds to his personality. The touching humanity of this story is the stuff of great legends. And, Marchand's illustrations echo the compassionate but musical voice that tells this story." - Elizabeth MacCallum, Children's Book Reviewer, Globe & Mail.

A full-colour storybook that teaches respect for others. The paintings were done by Joe Silvey (Salish). The book deals with name calling, initially showing the main character, Little Bear, as selfish and inconsiderate of other's feelings. The book is a modern First Nations legend applying the traditional method of using stories as a teaching tool. Little Bear learns to value the traditions of his ancestors and through the daily ritual of cleansing himself becomes in tune with nature. The book can be used by teachers, parents and other caring adults to teach children the value of respect. Discussion questions are included for parents and teachers.

"In the naming of his great-grandson, a grandfather relates the story of how Mayuk met his match at the hands of three brothers, and how one, who was wounded, was healed by Indian medicine. To celebrate his survival, the grandfather named his grandson Mayuk so he would have the attributes of that animal. That this book is a story within a story within a story within a story is a common Northwest Coast oral history device." - Oyate

A young boy and his grandfather set out in a birchbark canoe early one spring morning. Under the patient and gentle guidance of his grandfather, the boy gradually comes to respect the ways of nature and to understand his own place in the world.
In the first of three linked stories, a young boy and his grandfather set out in a birchbark canoe early one spring morning. Together, they discover the peaceful beauty of the lake. In the second story, the sun rises high in the summer sky as they climb a rocky cliff for a bird's-eye view of the land. And, finally, as an autumn night descends, they venture into the woods. Under the patient and gentle guidance of his grandfather, the boy gradually comes to respect the ways of nature and to understand his own place in the world.
"Filled with lessons of love and respect for Mother Earth, this book is packed with many Ojibway cultural references for young readers. Noshen and his grandfather, Mishomis, set off in a birchbark canoe, climb a mountain and stand off a pack of wolves - all in one day. Noshen learns that he is brother to the wolves and need not be afraid of any animal he meets in the woods. Karen Reczuch's illustrations of many culturally-relevant objects like beadwork designs and Mishomis' moccasins make this book something to be treasured." —Aboriginal Voices
"From the first words of Morning on the Lake, it's evident the author has an abundance of love and respect for the force of nature in all its magnificence. And, as we follow the young native protagonist and his grandfather, the call of the wild sounds ever more clear. Early one morning, the boy and his grandfather set off in their canoe and are rewarded with a rare glimpse of a family of loons. Later that day, they climb to the top of a hill and have an encounter with a bald eagle. And in the still night, the boy comes face to face with a pack of wolves. In this boy's traditional world, nature is given very human qualities which can set the heart a-thumping as well as soothe the spirit. Karen Reczuch's tranquil illustrations lovingly portray the relationship between man and his surroundings." —Children's Book News

This is a celebration of the contemporary powwow, which provides a rhyming verse to attract young children to the fun one can enjoy at a powwow. Boyden skillfully takes the main points of a powwow and creates anticipation in the charming verse.
Powwow's coming, hear the beat?
Powwow's coming, dancing feet.
Powwow's coming, hear the drum?
Powwow's coming, everyone!
Frustrated as a schoolteacher not being able to find good instructional materials on American Indians, Linda Boyden has bypassed the tired stereotype of Indians on horseback or hunting game and placed them in today's setting of a powwow.
Powwow's Coming provides children with a foundation for understanding and celebrating the enduring culture and heritage of American Indians. Boyden's exquisite cut-paper collage and engaging poem visually place readers within the scenes of a contemporary Native American community while offering a thoughtful look at powwows and their meanings to the Native participants.
"Many years ago, when the world and I were younger, my family defied the government."
A boy will never forget witnessing a forbidden Potlatch.
In 1935, a nine-year-old boy's family held a forbidden Potlatch in faraway Kingcome Inlet. Watl'kina slipped from his bed to bear witness. In the Big House masked figures danced by firelight to the beat of the drum. And there, he saw a figure he knew. Aboriginal elder Alfred Scow and award-winning author Andrea Spalding collaborate to tell the story, to tell the secret of the dance.

Among the dates I keep track of is January 11th. It's the day my son was born and I first became a father. It's the day he died and my wife and I entered the world of parenting through grieving. But we had been primed for this bittersweet turn of events. After all, my wife's family had survived the Holocaust, my own family had survived Japanese occupation. And, like so many of our generation, we were New Yorkers transplanted to the Capitol Area, who experienced and survived that fateful day in September…also on the 11th.
One of my friends from just across the river in New Jersey posted a link to an article which aired on a show called The Take Away on this past 14th Anniversary of September 11th. It was called "Why I'm done with the 9/11 ritual." And while you can guess that the provocative title garnered its share of fever pitched negative reaction, John Hockenberry's main points in the article were something that resonated with me as well.
I had just started theology school in Washington DC on that day. I rode the Metro passed the Pentagon probably within about 20 minutes of that fateful crash. My take away was very similar to Hockenberry's observation that the world was with us Post-9/11 and we squandered the moment (given the caveat that the grief and loss was real). Neither the article nor my comments here are meant to disparage, invalidate, or minimize the immense loss of life on that day. But I also think that because of our robust American machismo we improperly handled or completely dismissed the proper way to publicly grieve. And so mixed in with our genuine memorializing of the events, its victims, and our own national psyche is this "delicate wound" begging to be undone.
In my Facebook comment to my friend, I noted that the topic of September 11th in the world of social media can be a hot-button issue, so I prefer to err on the side of being deferential. This is partly because so many friends and colleagues have real skin in the game and scars. (I only have to take the day or two after each 9/11 anniversary to read through the postings to see that). But I also know that most of my Facebook kinfolk and people in real-time, who shared the events on the ground in NYC and DC (and more distantly in PA) that day, also lament what we "had done or failed to do." Most are not easily turned to a simple exercise of flag waving, but a deeper look at man's inhumanity to man, and the positive examples of collective human achievement done in the face of that.
Like the author, I too over the years have turned more toward what all this should mean or what this might explain about the world to my daughter, not yet born at the time, but living in a Post 9/11 world now. I grew up in the shadow of Pearl Harbor, Hiroshima, and the Korean and Vietnam wars. Those had very real effects on why the American world treated me the way it did, on one hand, and why my grandparents and many of my Filipino relatives had their own blank stare and far away look as they contemplated how that side of the world was connected to this one. How they got from back then and there to here and now. How, for example, could we cheer the same sports teams at a backyard Super Bowl party with our neighbors and have to wash the word CHINK off our driveway every mischief night.
The idea that collective playground or neighborhood disagreements can blow up on the world stage to groups of people devoting themselves to military armament in order to deliberately inflict harm and spew death upon "the enemy" is completely foreign to her. That people would turn a plane into a weapon (or a pressure cooker into a bomb) is not on her radar. Neither is it for her age group or possibly her generation. Maybe that's a good thing? Or maybe it's just that "innocence" not yet lost.
But since I was born here, there is another side to post-WW II, post-Cold War (and perhaps Post-9/11). It isn't that America is always in the end the hero of its own saga. There's Memory of War and the toll it takes, not just (to use Kurt Vonnegut's sarcasm) on "veterans of future wars" but how the toil, blood, and treasure is built into American History itself. Lately, some of it has bruised up against our hurtful racist past and treatment of "Black America."
But one need only dust off our high school history books or Google the data to be reminded of the death toll from the U.S. Civil War. We are a people that did that to ourselves. The rifts and failures to grieve collectively for that wound still play out in the fissures of our social and national existence. It is indeed our fatal flaw. We're always dying and remembering. And all we (as Americans) have is the hope that we are heroes enough for the next generation to "do it better."
That's why Stephen Colbert's interview with Vice-President Joe Biden on The Late Show on September 10th was such a remarkable TV event. If it had taken place on The Colbert Report, the jokes and ribbing about whether Mr. Biden was considering a Presidential run would have been enough of a punchline. Instead, Mr. Colbert and Mr. Biden (both Catholics) had a down-to-earth conversation about "faith." More specifically, Mr. Biden talked not about religious moralism that leads to the self-righteous world of who is right and wrong. Instead, he talked about someone who has suffered and grieved. In so doing, he became more empathetic with the suffering of others. This is exactly what you do not say as a career politician in a Post-9/11 world.
But speaking as a Catholic who has suffered and shared in others' grief, I live between September 11 and January 11. I believe in a God who is both with us and with those no longer with us. While it is a mystery to me how God holds that together, I know that God's mercy is a reflection of the measure by which we should try to do the same.
For Reflection:
Looking at the suffering in your own life, how has that humbled you and enabled you to be more empathetic to the others suffering in the world?
What is your great take-away in the Post-9/11 world that you would want children to grow up embracing?

The report summarises research carried out by the University of Bristol and highlights the need for a consistent understanding of the term 'insetting', after it has been used to describe a large range of different kinds of programmes.
ICROA offers its own definition after analysing the research:
Insetting: "The development of a carbon offset project within a company's own supply chain and supply chain communities"
The report also recommends best practice guidelines for an insetting management strategy, for each of the following insetting characteristics:
- Type of investment
- Location of the investment
- The activities covered
- Third party verification of the insetting project
The report is timed to coincide with the international Carbon Expo in Cologne, where tomorrow, our own Head of Partnerships Rob Stevens is speaking about the report and how insetting is a step forward to climate neutrality, in his capacity as Chair of ICROA.
At ClimateCare, we have been successfully delivering insetting programmes for many years – helping our clients invest in carbon offsetting projects directly within their supply chain. This not only creates benefits in the local community, but also builds supply chain resilience and can increase brand value.
We hope that this clear guidance from ICROA on the kind of activities that can be classified as 'insetting' will help corporates identify what makes a good insetting programme and how taking a robust approach brings value for their business, their supply chain and the global environment.

Cape Mentelle
Founded in 1970, Cape Mentelle was one of the first vineyards established in Margaret River, a small but premium winemaking region in the remote South West corner of Western Australia, bordered by the Indian Ocean.
Situated midway between the small town of Margaret River and its eponymous cape, Cape Mentelle enjoys the combined benefits of excellent soil and a mild maritime climate, plus a long dry growing season that enables grapes to mature.
These ideal conditions allow Cape Mentelle to consistently produce wines of exceptional quality, contributing to the growing reputation of the Margaret River region. Cape Mentelle Cabernet Sauvignon helped put Margaret River on the map with two consecutive wins in 1983 and 1984 of Australia's prestigious wine trophy, the Jimmy Watson Memorial Trophy at the Royal Melbourne Wine Show.
In addition to Cabernet Sauvignon, Cape Mentelle's portfolio includes Chardonnay, Sauvignon Blanc Semillon, Cabernet Merlot and Shiraz.
Cape Mentelle is part of the Estates & Wines collection.

Third Sunday of Pentecost: Holy Spirit Teaches.
First Letter to the Corinthians 2:1-10
First Letter to the Corinthians 2:1-10
When I came to you, brothers and sisters, I did not come proclaiming the mystery of God to you in lofty words or wisdom. For I decided to know nothing among you except Jesus Christ, and him crucified. And I came to you in weakness and in fear and in much trembling. My speech and my proclamation were not with plausible words of wisdom, but with a demonstration of the Spirit and of power, so that your faith might rest not on human wisdom but on the power of God. Yet among the mature we do speak wisdom, though it is not a wisdom of this age or of the rulers of this age, who are doomed to perish. But we speak God's wisdom, secret and hidden, which God decreed before the ages for our glory. None of the rulers of this age understood this; for if they had, they would not have crucified the Lord of glory. But, as it is written, 'What no eye has seen, nor ear heard, nor the human heart conceived, what God has prepared for those who love him' these things God has revealed to us through the Spirit; for the Spirit searches everything, even the depths of God.
Holy Gospel of Jesus Christ according to Saint John 14,21-27
They who have my commandments and keep them are those who love me; and those who love me will be loved by my Father, and I will love them and reveal myself to them.' Judas (not Iscariot) said to him, 'Lord, how is it that you will reveal yourself to us, and not to the world?' Jesus answered him, 'Those who love me will keep my word, and my Father will love them, and we will come to them and make our home with them. Whoever does not love me does not keep my words; and the word that you hear is not mine, but is from the Father who sent me. 'I have said these things to you while I am still with you. But the Advocate, the Holy Spirit, whom the Father will send in my name, will teach you everything, and remind you of all that I have said to you. Peace I leave with you; my peace I give to you. I do not give to you as the world gives. Do not let your hearts be troubled, and do not let them be afraid.

SPAM Jam
|We are so accustomed to using the word "spam" to refer to unsolicited junk e-mail that we often forget that the same word also refers to a canned luncheon meat. SPAM, a distinctive chopped pork shoulder and ham mixture, has traditions deeply rooted in our American heritage. Developed in 1937 by J.C. Hormel, SPAM was the first canned meat product that did not require refrigeration.
SPAM's 1937 product launch was accompanied by a high-profile advertising campaign. A character named "Spammy the Pig" was prominently featured in George Burns and Gracie Allen's network radio show, and the so-called "Miracle Meat" was the subject of one of the earliest singing radio commercials. Sung to the tune of "My Bonny Lies Over The Ocean," the radio jingle's lyrics were:
Hormel's new miracle meat in a can.
Tastes fine, saves time.
If you want something grand, ask for SPAM!
|SPAM sales boomed during World War II, since SPAM was not rationed like beef. It became a prime staple in American meals, and was also used to feed our armed forces. Nikita Khrushchev acknowledged SPAM's role in the survival of the Russian military: "Without SPAM," he once said, "we wouldn't have been able to feed our army."
|Today SPAM resides alongside Pez and Coca-Cola in its status as an American commercial icon. More than five billion cans of Spam have been sold since 1937, and there are now many varieties of SPAM, including Low Sodium SPAM, SPAM Lite, Smoke Flavored SPAM, and Turkey SPAM.
The birthplace of SPAM is a small town in southern Minnesota called Austin. Austin houses the corporate headquarters of Hormel, as well as the meatpacking plant where SPAM is manufactured. Austin is also home to the SPAM museum and the J.C. Hormel nature center.
|My friends and I visited Austin last weekend to attend the SPAM Jam, an annual celebration of SPAM. According to the festival's promoters, it brings in more than 20,000 people from 37 states and 5 foreign countries. The event includes carnival midway games, an assortment of SPAM foods, a SPAM recipe contest, a visit from the SPAM-Mobile, and a variety of live music acts, including a performance by the "SPAMETTES". We were there specifically for a five-mile race called the "Hog Jog," and we decided that it would be only fitting to dress up in SPAM running costumes.
|We weren't content to dress up as cans of SPAM, however; there were already several Hormel employees at the SPAM Jam dressed this way. We wanted to dress up as the luncheon meat itself. We decided that tight pink Spandex uniforms would be the most appropriate matches for the gelatinous grayish-pink substance.
|Unfortunately the outfits had a tendency to be misinterpreted. As we left the hotel for the race, I asked the desk clerk if she liked our costumes.
"What exactly are you?" she asked. "Are you jugglers?"
"No, we're SPAM," I told her, and proceeded to explain our rationale behind the pink Spandex. Never having eaten SPAM, I asked her what she thought of the taste.
"SPAM is kind of salty," she said. "Not so good plain. But my grandmother had this way of making it that wasn't so bad. She would chop it up and put it in cream of mushroom soup, and then she'd spread it on toast, top it with grated cheese, and broil it."
"Wow," I replied, making an effort to keep down my breakfast, "she should have entered the recipe contest."
The woman dismissed my idea, explaining that it was too common a recipe. I hadn't yet realized how many different ways SPAM was prepared. At the SPAM Jam, we saw an astounding array of ethnic dishes and American classics made with SPAM, including SPAM gyros, SPAM kebobs, SPAM corn dogs, SPAM egg rolls, SPAM croissants, SPAM Rangoon, SPAM fried rice, SPAM burgers, barbecue SPAM, SPAM tacos, and SPAM pizza.
|So although I couldn't bring myself to actually eat any SPAM at the SPAM Jam, I was endowed with a new appreciation for the convenience, versatility, and ingenuity of this unique food item that has graced our grocery aisles for decades, helping us overthrow the Third Reich and putting to good use all of the really disgusting parts of the pig that would otherwise be thrown away.

368 pages (Hardcover)
2 girls + 3 guys + 1 house - parents = 10 things April and her friends did that they (definitely, maybe, probably) shouldn't have.
If given the opportunity, what sixteen-year-old wouldn't jump at the chance to move in with a friend and live parent-free? Although maybe "opportunity" isn't the right word, since April had to tell her dad a tiny little untruth to make it happen (see #1: "Lied to Our Parents"). But she and her housemate Vi are totally responsible and able to take care of themselves. How they ended up "Skipping School" (#3), "Throwing a Crazy Party" (#8), "Buying a Hot Tub" (#4), and, um, "Harboring a Fugitive" (#7) at all is kind of a mystery to them.
In this hilarious and bittersweet tale, Sarah Mlynowski mines the heart and mind of a girl on her own for the first time. To get through the year, April will have to juggle a love triangle, learn to do her own laundry, and accept that her carefully constructed world just might be falling apart . . . one thing-she-shouldn't-have-done at a time. (From GoodReads)
I have a love/hate for books like this. I love them because they make me laugh. I hate them because they make me feel like I wasted my high school years.
However, despite feeling like I need to repeat my high school experience and get it right this time, I loved this book. I would call this a great beach read. It was fast-paced and witty. I'm usually not a fan of flashbacks, but the writing style of this book made it work. If you have a few hours to simply lounge around in the sun, pick up this book.
And don't get me started on the ending! I thought I had it all figured out (I was kinda right), but there are a couple of extra tidbits added in that just pull everything together wonderfully.
When I finished it, I actually had a little freak-out and hoped there was a sequel (which there isn't and there should be!) I wanted more! SO much more! I want more Hudson!
In summary, read this. Yup.
Much love, Samantha

Students now pay public colleges more than states do
Students now pay public colleges and universities more than states do, a new study by the U.S. Government Accountability Office found.
As states slashed higher education funding over the last several years, colleges and universities leaned more on tuition to cover costs -- part of the reason behind the astronomical jump in the cost of college. The GAO's findings paint a stark picture of just how much that trend changed the way public schools are funded from 2003 to 2012.
While state funding for public schools decreased by 12 percent overall, the median tuition at those schools rose 55 percent. Tuition accounted for 25 percent of public colleges' revenue, up from 17 percent, surpassing state funding by 2012, when the states accounted for 23 percent of schools' budgets. Average net tuition -- the estimated tuition after grant aid is deducted -- rose 19 percent.
"These increases have contributed to the decline in college affordability as students and their families are bearing the cost of college as a larger portion of their total family budgets," the GAO wrote.
The federal study looked at funding figures nationwide and did not mention Texas specifically, but it did touch on a couple of policy changes that state lawmakers could consider in their upcoming session: doing away with tuition deregulation -- or once again allowing the state to control tuition -- and tying state funding to performance by colleges.
In 2003, the Texas Legislature voted to let public colleges set their own tuition. Since then, the average cost to attend a state school more than doubled to $3,951 a semester, according to data from the Texas Higher Education Coordinating Board. At some schools, the increase was even greater. Designated tution at the University of Houston, for instance, jumped 280 percent to $2,643 per semester in 2013. UH charged $2,266 in tuition and fees in 2003. A decade later, UH, which is now one of the most expensive schools in the state, charged $5,223.
Now lawmakers on both sides of the aisle want to reverse the 2003 decision. At least two bills have been filed to do so in the 2015 session, including one by Sen. Rodney Ellis, a Houston Democrat, and another by Sen. Charles Schwertner, a Central Texas Republican.
The GAO study points out that many states control tuition and that "several experts and organizations who commented on this topic said that when tuition is set centrally by the state and colleges have less authority, there are positive effects on affordability for students."
Texas, meanwhile, could join a growing list of states that tie a portion of university funding to performance measures, such as graduation rates. Community colleges and technical schools in Texas already use the type of model that the Legislature may consider extending to four-year universities this year.
More and more states, looking for ways to increase college completion rates among minority and low-income students, have worked to tie funding to outcomes. Twenty-five states have developed plans to do that. Texas' latest proposal would create a $235-million incentive fund for schools that improve on seven metrics, including the number of undergraduate degrees they award, how many of those degrees go to at-risk students and the schools' retention rate for those students.
While the plan is being pushed by the state's higher education coordinating board, some lawmakers and leaders of Houston-area schools, like UH and Texas Southern University, have questioned it, calling it a "one size fits all model."
"UT is going to improve, A&M is going to improve at a greater level than the University of Houston or TSU is able to, and they will eat up the pool," state Rep. Garnet Coleman, a Democrat who represents both schools, said last month. "Those schools in my district lose based on all of the equations that have been presented over the years."
The GAO study said that states have seen mixed results when going to a performance-based funding model. It cites a recent nationwide study of such policies that found little evidence tying performance funding to positive outcomes, but it says that is in part because so few states keep their policies in place long enough to actually change colleges' behavior.
Basically, the GAO study says, time will tell how effective performance-based funding policies actually are.

What Can You Expect From Buying Sports Good Online?
Posted by Lidon Irizarry on April 3, 2018
Buying goods online has become so popular nowadays that most stores do have online stores in addition to their traditional retail stores in order to keep their customers happy. There are several advantages to buying online compared to conventional cash purchases, and these are pretty much all that is required for some customers to make the conclusion that online stores are just the better option. In fact, you can buy virtually anything from online stores these days, ranging from food items to electronics and simple domestic appliances.
The world of online shopping has also affected a lot of sports stores all over the world. Some just decided to continue with the way they have survived for so long, while others decided to embrace this new concept with open arms. This has ultimately resulted in sports gear being pretty easy to purchase online, giving us customers even more options when it comes to search for cricket bats New Zealand.
Now the question is whether you should attempt to purchase sports gear online, or whether to stick with conventional retailers in your town or city. Although the answer can vary depending on whom you ask, there is a general consensus that opting for online purchase is a much better idea. Why is that? Let's find out in the following few lines.
One possible reason for this is the fact that sports stores are not as common as other types of shops, meaning that not everyone has access to a good store within walking distance or within a half-an-hour drive. Thus, it becomes particularly inconvenient to search for multiple stores if the area you live in is scarcely populated, making you waste a lot of time just wandering about.
There is also the issue of limited stocks at retail stores. Since sports stores cater to a relatively small audience, they often have restricted stocks of each type of good, meaning that you may not always get the cricket bats you initially planned to purchase. As such, you will either have to wait until the shop restocks, or try an alternative shop to see whether they are available (although there is, again, no guarantee that it will carry the goods you are looking for either).
Brand availability is also a major issue in some countries, thereby forcing you to settle for alternative brands that you may not always like. This issue is simply non-existent with online sports stores: even if a particular brand is not available in your region, you can always place a custom order to get down what you want. Although some online stores do impose limitations and extra charges, there are also some shops that do not penalize you in any way. Therefore, online stores may be your only means of getting your hands on some equipment without going abroad to purchase them yourself.
In conclusion, you can see for yourself why online sports good stores have become popular these days. It seems as if they will only grow in popularity from now, which will make them the default choice for sports equipment purchases at some point in the not-so-distant future.
Preparing For Your First Marathon
Posted by Lidon Irizarry on February 21, 2018
What a beautiful day for a run? It's your first marathon that you have signed up for and your knowledge about marathons are limited only to the ones you have seen on TV's or witnessed a cross country race right in your neighborhood. Piece of cake, right? How hard can it be to run 27 miles? It will be tough unless you have been practicing days before the race. You need to have the energy to keep running or you won't be able to get up from bed the next day. If you've never done it before, it can seem appalling but with the right practice you will be able to ace the race. Here's a few pointers to guide you on your first marathon.
Fuel your body
Your body is your vehicle. It needs the fuel to race for a long time. It would be impossible to keep up with the pace if you haven't practiced your running. You can't just expect to show up on the day of the country race and wait for your legs to do all the running. It's important that you have enough practice before the day itself. The first question you need to ask yourself before you actually start practicing your run is, am I fit and ready? If you haven't really thought about it, then it's time that you start looking for a personal training in gym to help you get in shape for the big race. You can have a one on one discussion with your coach as to what to improve in you to be ready for this race. Additionally start running 5-10 miles per week and gradually increase to 10-20 miles per week and keep increasing thereafter. The more you keep your body working, the more your body will be ready to run for 27 miles or more.
Eat right
If you thought running a marathon is only going to be for one day and that you don't have to change your diet, you will find yourself panting and crawling instead of running the first half miles only. There's only two simple rules, don't eat too much to the point that instead of a cross country race you will be in a bathroom marathon every few minutes and if you eat little, you will find yourself taking only few steps and falling right on your face. Maintain a balance in your food and take in food that will boost your energy levels like proteins and a lot of eggs. There will be no point in your great boot camp in Wollongong at the fitness center if you haven't been having the right food.
Staying motivated
It's important that you talk to yourself before beginning your race. Boost your self-esteem and not give up. Most of the people give up halfway through to the marathon but you are not going to be one of them. Talk yourself through and be ready to handle any obstacles. Keep your head clear and focused. You might get distracted and you might want to quit.
A Guide To Exercise Mats
Posted by Lidon Irizarry on February 14, 2018
Many workout routines require you to lie or kneel on the floor. Exercising on hardwood floors can be quite a task. That's where exercise mattings come in. They'll make the whole process a lot more comfortable and easy to get through. Let's take a look at the different types of mattings available and what might be best suited for you.
Heavy-duty mats
Heavy-duty mattings, also known as gym mats for sale, are usually large and provide lot of cushion. They are perfect for use in martial arts classes, gymnastics, dancing and similar routines that tend to be high-impact. They are made of thick foam and are quite easy to clean since they are covered in plastic. Heavy-duty mattings are also extremely shock-absorbent, and will protect your body from injury. They are however not totally skid-proof, so it's best to use these on a carpeted surface. Due to their large size, they may also not be foldable, so you may need to look for one that folds if you want to use it at home.
Stretching mats
Stretching mattings can be found in two different types. One for yoga and the other for Pilates. Both these tend to be thinner than the other options available, however the Pilates mat is thicker and longer than the yoga mat. Both mattings are able to grip the floor firmly and the yoga mat is also called a 'sticky' mat thanks to its good grip. This helps prevent the mat sliding and slipping up on a tiled or wooden floor. Thus, yoga mattings provide great balance when you practice yoga poses. They can also be rolled up and stored away easily.
All-purpose mats
This type of mat is quite basic and as its name suggests, can be used for a variety of different exercise routines. If you need a mat just for your regular exercises at home, look for all-purpose gym mats for sale. These mattings are thick and fairly large. They are also quite easy to clean, being covered in a layer of vinyl. However, though these mattings work well in most ways, they are not very shock-absorbent and should not be used for high-impact routines and exercises. Visit https://www.gymnasticsdirect.com.au/products/category/2/girls-mats for more tumbling mats.
Interlocking mats
These mattings come in separate blocks of thick foam which can be fit to each other, like a puzzle. Since they are so thick, they are highly shock-absorbent and can be used on even concrete floors. These mattings can be used in large or small spaces since you are allowed to control the size of the mat. The interlocking pieces of the mat are easy to clean and are light-weight as well as waterproof. They can also be assembled without any trouble. Since they can be taken apart, they can also be easily stored away. So there you have it. These are the four main type of mattings used for exercise.

Staying As Healthy As You Can
Posted by Lidon Irizarry on June 2, 2017
Remember, staying healthy is a very important aspect we all overlook as life takes us on a crazy ride every other day!

However, nothing is impossible and with a little effort even you can achieve what they have, although it may take longer than anticipated! Once you set aside and allocate a specific time for our health and exercise, you'll find yourself on the right track before you know it.
Professional help
You first may need to seek professional help, just to get in touch with the healthy side of you. This is especially important when it comes to working out and exercise, so what you will have to do is simply contact a personal trainer or get some pilates personal training for starters until you can figure out how to go about doing this yourself. Professional help for starters is the best way to get into the game, and the best way to stay in it!
Food intake

Opening Your Own Riding School
Posted by Lidon Irizarry on December 16, 2016
As someone who loves to get on a horse and just ride a horse or actively take part in spring racing carnival tickets, you must definitely want to share the experience with the others. The only way in which you can do this is by opening your very own riding school. However, prior to opening such a school you must be extremely advised of everything connected to such an institution. It is not as easy as riding a horse. There are a lot of responsibilities in many ways and this article will guide you through them. Here are some tips.
Have Proper Students
While most people just like to come and ride a horse a day or two, your riding school should not be the place for people to do this under any circumstance. It should be a place where people come to learn a particular skill and not waste time. For an instance, you should train riders and horses to enter things like the spring racing carnival. Therefore, you cannot waste time just entertaining people by allowing them to come and ride a horse for the fun of it.
Have a Good Set of Horses
The quality and performance of your horses is also extremely important as this will determine the amount of customers you get. However, if you have horses under the racehorse syndicates scheme then ensure that they are not ridden by anyone except the owners. It is important that you check the breed and all other things important prior to buying horses for your riding school as the quality of your school depends on this.
Do Not Overbook Students
While it is important to give all the students a chance, you should also make a note not to overcrowd the place all at once. If you have a lot of students, you should definitely have a schedule and a timetable where you give each student a particular slot. This will be important. This way, every student will get their chance of practicing and no one will have to wait without practicing.
Charge Appropriate Fees
Horses and stables are very difficult to maintain. In addition, if you have a riding school you will definitely have other expenses too. Therefore, you must be extremely mindful when charging fees from students. It is okay that it is a little expensive because you have to cover costs such as grooming costs etc. Ensure that you do not overcharge for any reason though, because this might reflect badly on you and your school. Therefore, follow the above to be successful in your venture.
Children And Their Healthcare
Posted by Lidon Irizarry on December 9, 2016
Children are the life of the parents, and they can change the entire world with their charm and brightness. Parents can feel tense and struggle if they find any uncomforting or sickness in them. Providing the best diet with balanced and nutritious diet is crucial. Children love and like to play for more time and, it is also good for their health. They should have proper physical activities that can make them robust and fit. Even the doctors also suggest the parents allow the children for games and outdoor activities.
Mostly the children like to have the food like cakes, ice creams, pastries, soft drinks, and chocolates, etc. and other junk foods that can spoil their health. Up to certain age, parents can decide the diet of their children and even forcibly they can make their kids to have healthy food. Health is very precious, and people should take care of their health then only then can have the chance to make good life around them.
Children can spend most of the daytime in their schools, and it can be a responsibility of the teachers and the school managements to take care of them. Immediately after their birth and up to certain age they should be vaccinated properly to avoid the risk of various diseases like polio, mumps, measles and chicken pox, etc. with the booster dose for their safety. Parents have to explain their children about the importance of physical health, and it can be better if they make them attend the yoga class at the small age.
The most common problems that most of the children face regularly are:
• Cold and cough
• Viral fevers
• Mouth ulcers
• Diarrhea
• Seasonal Infections etc.
It can be the better option for the parents to use warm water for their children during the cold winters to avoid the risk of cold and cough. In some child care centers, there will be regular health checkup camps for the children. Physical health is equally important along with the mental health. The outdoor games can also play a vital role in influencing the child's mental condition. They can easily interact with their friends and communicate in a proper manner if they can mingle with others.
In schools also, the teachers have to concentrate on group training sessions so that the children can interact with other students easily. It can help them to improve their communication and interpersonal skills that can be very useful for their future careers. All these activities can make the children active and energetic. Children are very sensible in their early age, and it can be very easy for the parent to mold them in a perfect manner. They can habituate them to have the well-balanced diet and explain them about the precautionary measures to avoid the sickness.
