  • America's Children in Brief: Key National Indicators of Well-Being
    America’s Children in Brief: Key National Indicators of Well-Being, 2016 Federal Interagency Forum on Child and Family Statistics America’s Children in Brief: Key National Indicators of Well-Being, 2016 This year’sAmerica’s Children in Brief: Key National Indicators of Well-Being continues more than a decade of dedication and collaboration by agencies across the Federal Government to advance our understanding of our Nation’s children and what may be needed to bring them a better tomorrow. We hope you find this report useful. The Forum will be releasing its next full report in 2017. Katherine K. Wallman, Chief Statistician, Office of Management and Budget Introduction Each year since 1997, the Federal Interagency Forum on Child and Family Statistics has published a report on the well-being of children and families. The Forum fosters coordination and collaboration among 23 federal agencies that produce or use statistical data on children and families, and seeks to improve federal data on children and families. The America’s Children series provides accessible compendiums of indicators drawn across topics from the most reliable official statistics; it is designed to complement other more specialized, technical, or comprehensive reports produced by various Forum agencies. The America’s Children series makes Federal data on children and families available in a nontechnical, easy-to-use format in order to stimulate discussion among data providers, policymakers, and the public. Pending data availability, the Forum updates all 41 indicators annually on its website (http://childstats. gov) and alternates publishing a detailed report, America’s Children: Key National Indicators of Well-Being, with a summary version, America’s Children in Brief, which highlights selected indicators.

  • Invocation Time to Tune in the Phenomenon of African American Religious Broadcasting
    Invocation Time to Tune In The Phenomenon of African American Religious Broadcasting Shine on me, shine on me. Let the light from the lighthouse Shine on me. — “Shine on Me,” in African American Heritage Hymnal At the dawn of the twentieth century, W. E. B. Du Bois described the black preacher as “the most unique personality developed by the Negro on American soil.”1 For the majority of the century, because of societal constraints regulating the movement of persons of color in America, these spiritual poets were largely confned to preaching to their own racial and residential communities. Today, however, with the victo- ries of the civil rights era and the emergence of advanced forms of media communication, many of these dynamic personalities have gained wider visibility both nationally and internationally. To channel-surf from BET to TBN to MBC to the Word Network is to witness the creative genius and artistic imaginations of these religious fgures. And it would be vir- tually impossible to enter any African American Christian congregation and fnd someone who had not heard of such televangelists as Bishop T. D. Jakes, Bishop Eddie Long, and Pastor Crefo Dollar. These preach- ers seem to have become ubiquitous in black popular culture as a result of their constant television broadcasts, mass video distributions, printed publications, gospel stage plays, musical recordings, and gargantuan congregations. With an astute marketing consciousness, these preachers and their style of ministry have found an enduring place in the African American religious imagination. 1 2 Invocation Televangelism and the Black Church in America Any discussion of televangelism and the black church involves an engage- ment with two distinct areas of religious expression that have grown exponentially in the post−civil rights era: religious broadcasting and the megachurch movement.

  • Copyright in an Era of Information Overload: Toward the Privileging of Categorizers
    Brooklyn Law School BrooklynWorks Faculty Scholarship 1-2007 Copyright in an Era of Information Overload: Toward the Privileging of Categorizers Frank Pasquale Follow this and additional works at: https://brooklynworks.brooklaw.edu/faculty Part of the Science and Technology Law Commons Copyright in an Era of Information Overload: Toward the Privileging of Categorizers Frank Pasquale 60 Vand. L. Rev. 135 (2007) Environmental laws are designed to reduce negative externalities (such as pollution) that harm the natural world. Copyright law should adjust the rights of content creators in order to compensate for the ways they reduce the usefulness of the information environment as a whole. Every new work created contributes to the store of expression, but also makes it more difficult to find whatever work one wants. "Search costs" have been well- documented in information economics and addressed by trademark law. Copyright law should take information overload externalities like search costs into account in its treatment of alleged copyright infringers whose work merely attempts to index, organize, categorize, or review works by providing small samples of them. These categorizers are not "'free riding" off the labor of copyright holders. Rather, they are creating the navigational tools and filters that help consumers make sense of the ocean of expression copyright holders have created. The new scholarship of cultural environmentalism lays the groundwork for a better understanding of the costs, as well as the benefits, of copyrighted expression. Any expression that signals something to one who wants exposure to it may constitute noise to thousands of others. By modeling information overload as an externality imposed by copyrighted works generally, this article attempts to provide a new economic justification for more favorable legal treatment of categorizers, indexers, and reviewers.

I am pleased to publish this comprehensive Language Arts Review that does just that! This resource is a spiral review of all language arts objectives covered by 4th grade Common Core and TEKS (for Texas teachers). Also included are many 3rd grade objectives that need review. -36 Weeks, 5 Days Per Week! -Full-Sized 11” x 8-1/2” practice sheet for each day of the week! -Friday Quiz that includes questions covered during the week! -Use for Warm-Up, Bell Work, Homework or targeted practice! -Easily avoids loss of skills due to lack of practice!

Then, review the completed questions with your students. This may take another 5-10 minutes – time very well spent, as you are spiraling through each objective many times throughout the year. On Thursday, students take their completed sheets home and study for the quiz on Friday. This is a great way to communicate to parents what is being studied at school!
