It appears that there is pretty wide- spread support at the community level [for CATV], said Lt. Col. Steve Morris, USAKA/KMR operations as- sistant chief of staff. When he saw the results, the commander said, Ok, we know what we want, go back and see if we can make it happen. Last month, residents of Kwaj and Roi responded to surveys asking if they would pay for CATV and up- graded Internet service. Altogether, 453 residents replied, and, overall, 71 percent said they would pay an average of $21.04 a month for CATV.

  • Response to This Article About the Hasbro/Discovery Hub Shift In
    Response to this article about the Hasbro/Discovery Hub shift in power...which turned into another my long-winded, thoughtful rants: http://online.wsj.com/articles/discovery-to-take-control-of-the-hub-network- 1410979842 Well, that's...somewhat shocking. From what I can tell, the Hasbro/Discovery partnership in The Hub has been an amazing success. I watch the channel almost every day. Most of its programming is--and has been, for the past 3.5 years--excellent. From the original series (FiM, Pound Puppies, Strawberry Shortcake, LPS, Dan Vs., Aquabats Super Show, Family Game Night, Care Bears, Transformers, Haunting Hour), to all the other wonderful shows/sitcoms (oh my goodness!! Tiny Toon Adventures, Animaniacs, Goosebumps, Laverne & Shirley, Happy Days, Mork & Mindy, Step By Step, Who's the Boss, Family Ties, The Facts of Life, Sister, Sister, Sabrina, Atomic Betty, etc.), to the extremely well-chosen family movies (I loved it when they aired the Homeward Bound films, All Dogs Go to Heaven 2...today I saw Spaceballs...and they've just made so many other great movie picks every season.) They've been an outstanding example of listening to your viewers and giving them what they want. Even their misfires and middle-of-the-road shows are more than bearable (SheZow, animated Sabrina, Teenage Fairytale Dropouts, Kid President, Parents Just Don't Understand, and such.) If Hasbro were to grow dissatisfied with controlling six hours of its toy-based cartoons daily on Hub (which seems like a fair deal they've cut, tbh), and moved them over to Cartoon Network or Disney...well, at least the shows would still continue on, and be a MASSIVE boon to either of those channels.

DESCRIPTORS Academic Achievement; *Educational Improvement; Elementary Secondary Education; Learning Strategies; *Parent Materials; *Parent Participation; Parent School Relationship IDENTIFIERS Colorado ABSTRACT This guide describes ways that parents can help improve student achievement and school quality. It answers such questions as how to choose the right early-education opportunity for a preschooler, how to make sure a 5-year-old is ready for school, how to help a daughter do well in school, how to work with a daughter's or son's teachers, how to help a preteen develop strong values and character, how to help a teenager resist negative peer pressure, and how to be a strong role model for children. The guide discusses the need for parents to be engaged in their children's education and suggests four key roles for parents: create a home environment that promotes learning; provide extra services and support to students; work to make the system more responsive to all families; and serve on school committees and actively participate in efforts to improve school quality.
