    THE FOSSIL Official Publication of The Fossils, Inc., Historians of Amateur Journalism Volume 105, Number 1, Whole Number 338, Glenview, Illinois, October 2008 A HISTORIC MOMENT President's Report Guy Miller Yes, a historic moment it is. Our first election under our new set of by-laws has been successfully conducted and the officers have taken their places. As outlined, the election was for three members to compose the Board of Trustees. All other offices have become appointive. In addition, the position of Vice-President has been eliminated. All officers will serve for a two-year term. In 2010 only two positions on the Board will be open: the incumbent President will remain as carry over but will relinquish his title, and the new Board will proceed to choose one among them once more for President for 2010-12. That's the “game plan,” so to speak. On August 4, Secretary-Treasurer Tom Parson delivered to the President the results of the election: Number of ballots received = 21 Louise Lincoln 1 Danny L. McDaniel 8 Guy Miller 18: Elected Stan Oliner 18: Elected Jack Swenson 17: Elected Immediately upon receipt of the report, I called upon the newly elected members to give to the Secretary-Treasurer their choices for the new President to serve for the 2-year term 2008-2010. Their choice was that I should be that person. And so, I begin another stint at the end of which I will have had a ten-year try plus an earlier term (1994-95). Hopefully, by 2010 all of you will have had enough of me and, mercifully, put me out to pasture! In the meantime, I am very pleased to tell you that everyone I have asked has agreed to work along with the Board for the next two years: Ken Faig, Jr.

    W e aving A Path To Su c c ess ENLACE For Latino Stu dents WEAVING A PATH TO SUCCESS FOR LATINO STUDENTS The ENLACE Initiative of the W.K. Kellogg Foundation Early success stories from around the country atinos are the fastest-growing segment of United States college-age youth. However, Latino college Ladmission and completion rates lag behind those of other groups. What prevents Latino students from achieving their dreams? How will we as a nation remove obstacles and create pathways to college success for Latino children? Numbering some 35 million, Latinos are the nation’s largest ethnic group. Latinos make up nearly 15 p e rcent of the nation’s college-age population (18–24 years of age). Latinos are projected to be 22 p e rcent of this group by 2025.1 This young population is also a growing segment of the workforce. By 2025, one of every five U.S. workers will be Latino. Will they have the education and skills to contribute to our economy? How can our educational institutions better equip this growing population for economic pro s p e r i t y ? The W.K. Kellogg Foundation is funding a national initiative called ENgaging LAtino Communities for Education, or ENLACE. Midpoint in a four-year implementation phase, ENLACE (pronounced en-LAH-seh) seeks to increase the number of Latino high school and college graduates. In Spanish, enlace means “link” or “weave together.” The initiative includes 13 partnerships in 7 states that are linking colleges, K–12 schools, and community groups. These partnerships create ways to keep Latino students engaged in school and support their progress as they move to college along the K–16 p a t h w a y.

  • Yvonne and Yvette Rodriguez Are Shaking up the Cigar Industry
    Yvonne and Yvette Rodriguez Are Shaking Up the Cigar Industry When a santera declared that it was time for Yvonne and Yvette Rodriguez to work together, the twin sisters didn’t flinch. Today, they’re shaking up the cigar industry with their Miami-based brand, Tres Lindas Cubanas. With charisma and humor, the sisters tell Alicia about launching their business with only $500, harnessing the power of their Afro-Cuban roots in the cigar market, and why they're doing it all to honor their ancestors. ______________________________________________________________________________ Clip, Yvonne Rodriguez: The cigar has been weaved into our history. If it's not from slavery, working in factories in Cuba. But for us, even religiously, if I walk into one, I smell cigar smoke; that's like if somebody walks into a church and they smell the incense that they burn, its like that. It is the ultimate representation of our history. Alicia Menendez: Almost as if to test just how close twin sisters could be, Yvonne and Yvette Rodriguez are also business partners. They own Tres Lindas, a Miami-based cigar company, and in a crowded male-dominated industry, the two Afro-Cuban women harness the very things that make them different to rise above competitors. This is the first time we've had two people on at once, so thank you. This is like a grand experiment. Yvonne: Twin power. Pioneers. Menendez: Yvonne, the business begins with a visit to a santera. So I feel like we have to start there because it can't get any better than that.

  • Stories of Cuban-Americans Living and Learning Bilingually
    STORIES OF CUBAN-AMERICANS LIVING AND LEARNING BILINGUALLY By Natasha Perez A DISSERTATION Submitted to Michigan State University in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Curriculum, Instruction, and Teacher Education – Doctor of Philosophy 2017 ABSTRACT STORIES OF CUBAN-AMERICANS LIVING AND LEARNING BILINGUALLY By Natasha Perez This study explores the interplay of bilingualism, identity, literacy and culture for Cuban- American students in the Cuban diaspora. I contextualize their experiences within the social, historical, and political background of Cuban immigration, situating their stories within the conflicting narratives of Cuban-American imagination in the U.S., to explore how manifestations of Cubania shape the language and literacy practices of Cuban-American youth across generations and contexts, within three U.S. states. Inspired by traditions of phenomenology and narrative inquiry (Clandelin & Connoly, 2000), this study is an intentional narrative “reconstruction of a person’s experience in relationship both to the other and to a social milieu” (CC 200-5), drawing from three narratives of experience, including my own. The three narratives are based on the experiences Cuban- American adolescent girls growing up in different contexts, in search of answers to the following questions: a) For each participant in this study, what are the manifestations of Cuban identity, or Cubania? b) What are the factors that sustain different or similar manifestations of Cubania, both within and across generations of immigrants? c) How, if at all, do manifestations of Cubania shape the language and literacy practices of Cuban-American youth? The narratives in this study demonstrate how language, collective memory, and context become semiotic resources that come to bear on the diasporic identities of the participants.

The Norman Conquest in 1066, England was taken over by a French ruler, who is titled prior to becoming the king of England, was the duke of Normandy. • Norman → Norsemen (Vikings) → the men from the North. o The Normans invited on the Viking to stay on their lands in hope from protecting them from other Vikings, because who is better to fight a Viking then a Viking themselves. • About 3 hundred years later didn’t speak their language but spoke French with their dialect. o Norman French • William, the duke of Normandy, was able to conquer most of England and he crowned himself the king. o The Normans became the new overlord and the new rulers in England. ▪ They hated the English language believing that is it unsophisticated and crude and it wasn’t suitable for court, government, legal proceedings, and education. ▪ French and Latin replaced English: • The spoken language became French. • The written language, and the language of religion became Latin. ▪ The majority of the people who lived in England spoke English, but since they were illiterate, they didn’t produce anything so there weren’t any writing recordings. ▪ When it remerges in the end 13th century and the more so 14th century, it is a very different English, it had something to do with inflection. • Inflection: (-‘s), gender (lost in middle English), aspect, case. ▪ When Middle English resurfaces as a language of literature, thanks to Geoffrey Chaucer who elevated the vernaculars the spoken language to the status of literature, most of the inflections were gone.

  • Baseball Jerseys,USC Wears White Jerseys,Good Jerseys
    ,kids hockey jersey Baltimore Orioles tickets are some of the hottest major league baseball tickets available today. No wonder, since the Orioles have certainly had their share of league titles in the past. Not only are the Orioles one of the oldest teams,new nike nfl,nhl all star jerseys, but they also have a rich history and have given the world of baseball some really great classic players. The Orioles are perhaps best known for their golden years in the seventies and eighties but they are still a strong team to contend with today. Though the cynics might say the Orioles aren't what they used to be, they are certainly a team that can give stiff competition to their opponents. There's a reason why Baltimore Orioles tickets are still in such great demand. A Rich BeginningThe modern day Baltimore Orioles were initially known as the Milwaukee Brewers,nfl eagles jersey, back in 1894. In 1902, the team was shifted to St. Louis where they also got a new name,nike nfl shop, the St. Louis Browns. The Browns had what many consider a dream run,nhl jersey sizes, establishing themselves as one of the strongest baseball teams at that time. However the team was relocated to Baltimore in 1954,blank hockey jersey, after which the team unceremoniously landed at the very bottom of the barrel.While the Browns left behind a legacy, it was up to the new Baltimore Orioles to make a name for them selves.
